SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight | TechCrunch

A SpaceX Starship rocket exploded on a test stand in Texas during preparations for its tenth test flight. The explosion, caused by a failure in a pressurized tank, resulted in no injuries or hazards to nearby residents. SpaceX was set for a "static fire" of the Starship’s Raptor engines, with the test likely delaying further flights. This follows a series of setbacks for Starship despite plans for a Mars mission in 2026.

Why do SpaceX rockets keep exploding?

SpaceX's frequent Starship test failures, while appearing chaotic, reflect its "move-fast-and-break-things" approach, differing sharply from traditional, cautious rocket development methods. This approach has led to rapid advancements like the reusable Falcon 9 but also results in public failures. SpaceX's urgency is driven by founder Elon Musk’s Mars aspirations, necessitating a larger rocket to transport substantial mass for Mars missions. Experts, however, remain skeptical about ambitious timelines for crewed Mars flights due to unresolved engineering challenges.
