June 17, 2025, A SpaceX
June 17, 2025, A SpaceX Starship upper stage exploded in a spectacular conflagration during ramp-up to an expected engine test firing...
A statement fr5om SpaceX. "On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m. CT, the Starship preparing for the tenth flight test experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase"...
"SpaceX owner Elon Musk wrote "Just a scratch" on social media after the company's Starship rocket exploded into a fireball before a schedule test flight on Wednesday."
