Elon Musk’s Starship rocket crashes to the ground again

International Desk //


SpaceX’s Starship rocket exploded for the second time shortly after launch. Its debris fell from the sky to the ground.

The explosion caused the SpaceX rocket to be aborted shortly after launch from Texas, USA, on Thursday, and SpaceX immediately issued a warning about the debris of the spacecraft.

The company of American billionaire Elon Musk said that the uncrewed rocket “rapidly and uncontrollably separated” and lost contact during launch.

The largest rocket ever built by SpaceX went out of control shortly after launch. No casualties or damage were reported. However, images from various island nations in the Caribbean Sea showed the debris of the rocket falling from the sky like flames of fire.

The BBB says this is the eighth mission of SpaceX’s Starship rocket test. The rocket exploded during the second launch. The 123-meter, or 403-foot, spacecraft was supposed to re-enter Earth’s orbit over the Indian Ocean after a flight of about an hour.
SpaceX said its various teams immediately began working with safety officials on a “pre-planned emergency response” after the explosion.

The company also said SpaceX would review the information to better understand the root cause of the accident. It also noted that the explosion occurred after several of the rocket’s engines failed.

Musk has not yet commented on Thursday’s explosion.

The accident temporarily halted flights at several airports in Florida, including Miami and Orlando, due to concerns about burning debris.

Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement that the rocket explosion caused delays in landings at the airport.

Earlier, in January this year, SpaceX’s Starship exploded minutes after its launch from Texas.

The Turks and Caicos administration said in a statement that it was in contact with US authorities and SpaceX.

Social media X posts showed burning rocket debris falling over the Caribbean Sea. Some X users in the Bahamas posted that they were seeking shelter to safely evacuate from the wreckage.
