SpaceX Starship rocket explodes for the third time
SpaceX's ambitious Starship rocket faced another setback this week when a leak led to an uncontrolled descent in space, resulting in an explosion during its test flight.
This marks the third consecutive major challenge for Elon Musk's aerospace company. The launch system, consisting of the Starship upper stage and its Super Heavy booster, blasting off from SpaceX's South Texas launchpad.
Shortly after liftoff, the Super Heavy booster, which had been reused from previous missions, successfully detached from Starship and ignited its engines. However, as it attempted to reposition itself for reentry, a critical issue arose, causing the booster to explode mid-flight.
Despite the incident, SpaceX commentators noted that the booster was already expected to make a hard splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.
