Video shows SpaceX Starship explosion at Texas launch site

.... The Starship "experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase," SpaceX's launch site in Texas, the company said on X. ....

Video from LabPadre, the company that monitors SpaceX activities at Starbase, appears to show two major explosions — the first near the rocket's nose, and the second on the left side of the spacecraft. The Starship was being filled with liquid oxygen and high-energy methane fuel at the time the detonations happened. ....

SpaceX has launched nine Super Heavy-Starship test flights over the last 2 years, with the first three ending with explosions or breakups and the next three being partially successful. The next two resulted in explosions and the most recent flight, in May, reached its trajectory but broke up during atmospheric entry after spinning out of control. ,,,,,
