Summary

SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded in space minutes after launching from Texas, marking the second consecutive failure this year.

The rocket spun uncontrollably before breaking apart, with debris seen over Florida and the Bahamas. The cause remains unclear, though multiple engines shut down before contact was lost.

The failure raises concerns about setbacks in Elon Musk’s Mars rocket program. The FAA temporarily halted flights at major Florida airports due to falling debris.

A similar Starship failure in January scattered wreckage over the Caribbean.

    Friend I get what you’re saying but this newest explosion is quite literally news, and pretty much everyone here knows that it is news that affects the asshole raping our country right now, which is why it is such newsy news. So I am not sure what your point is.

      You’re missing the point in that space x rockets blow up more than they don’t, literally, showing that the company is incompetent and without massive aid from the US government it would cease to exist immediately.

      This leads also to the point where Elmo musk is and has been a scammer for all his life. He was incompetent back then, he is moreso now. All he does is hype people and governments to give him loads of money and then he gives shit back

      3 billion at least to watch space x crew cheer over blowing up a banana over the Indian ocean, money well spent!
