New SpaceX spacecraft exploded during a flight test

teleSUR English

SpaceX's SN36 Starship exploded loudly during a test flight in Boca Chica, Texas, shortly before first light. The 123-meter rocket initially reached an altitude of 150 kilometers before losing connection with mission control. Although SpaceX recovered the booster stage using its stick arms, the upper stage engines failed, sending debris into the Indian Ocean. Authorities are currently searching for the wreckage, with flaming fragments spotted near Cape Canaveral, Florida.  #SpaceX #Starship #RocketFail #SpaceTech #TeleSUREnglish  🌐Join teleSUR's community and be part of a space where your ideas matter.  https://chat.whatsapp.com/KLABTE41aSj3ioYabXQQ6K 🗣 Don't be left behind, join teleSUR's Channel https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va98Z437Noa2tjytCt1N Web💬 https://www.telesurenglish.net/ X🧶 https://twitter.com/telesurenglish Instagram 📸 https://www.instagram.com/telesurenglish/?hl=es Facebook 📱 https://www.facebook.com/teleSUREnglishOfficial Youtube ⏯ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmuTmpLY35O3csvhyA6vrkg Tiktok👌🏼 https://www.tiktok.com/@telesurenglish?_t=8hMLCY0a6z7&_r=1
