SpaceX’s unmanned Starship spacecraft exploded four minutes after the first integrated launch of the craft from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. The explosion occurred just prior to its separation from the Super Heavy rocket and its descent to the Gulf of Mexico. John Insprucker, principal integration engineer for SpaceX, referred to the explosion as “a rapid unscheduled disassembly.” Despite the explosion, SpaceX engineers were happy with the results, calling it “an exciting end to the Starship integrated test flight.” close
