SpaceX Starship explodes during routine test

HOUSTON: One of Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starships exploded during a routine test in Texas late Wednesday, law enforcement officials said, in the latest setback to the billionaire’s dream of turning humanity into an interplanetary species. The Starship 36 suffered “catastrophic failure and exploded” at the Starbase launch facility shortly after 11:00 p.m. (0400 GMT Thursday), a Facebook post by Cameron County authorities said. A video shared with the post showed the megarocket attached to the launch arm and then a flash and a towering, fiery explosion.
