Summary
SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded in space minutes after launching from Texas, marking the second consecutive failure this year.
The rocket spun uncontrollably before breaking apart, with debris seen over Florida and the Bahamas. The cause remains unclear, though multiple engines shut down before contact was lost.
The failure raises concerns about setbacks in Elon Musk’s Mars rocket program. The FAA temporarily halted flights at major Florida airports due to falling debris.
A similar Starship failure in January scattered wreckage over the Caribbean.
There use to be a show on TV, it was like "Most shocking " or something like that. Anyway, it had a video of a rocket blowing up a little after take off.
The woman on the show said “We experienced an anomaly.” The TV show host couldn’t let that phrase go! “Evidently ‘anomaly’ means 'bad ass explosion!” From then on all I can think of when I see a rocket blowing up…" We’ve experienced an anomaly " ha
