| SpaceX's latest Starship booster test ends with an explosion SpaceX has long been gearing up for the Starship's first orbital test flight, but that significant milestone may be delayed yet again. A Super Heavy booster designed for its massive launch vehicle has exploded at the company's Boca Chica, Texas facility. According to NASA Spaceflight, which uploaded a video of the incident, the booster caught fire while the company was testing its Raptor engines. As Gizmodo notes, Super Heavy's current prototype, the Booster 7, is equipped with 33 version 2 Raptor engines. https://www.engadget.com/spacex-star...4.html?src=rss |
