Starship IFT-8 Explosion From a Telescope in Florida

by

SpaceX’s massive Starship exploded 10 minutes after taking off Thursday night – two months after another one of the company’s rockets broke apart during the last test flight.

Engineers from SpaceX stated that the 400-foot-tall ship, which launched from the company’s Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach, in Texas, lost altitude control after several engines stopped working just 20-seconds before the end of ascent burn in its eight test flight.

SpaceX lost contact with Starship 8 before it was able to deploy its test satellites, which were set to occur at the 17 minute mark.
