🚨BREAKING: #SpaceX’s #Starship just exploded during a static fire test.

This wasn’t a launch. It was supposed to be stationary. Controlled. Safe.

@MalcolmNance Well it was safe for humans.

Safe for the rocket? No it wasn't supposed to be particularly safe for the rocket, that's why they run these tests. And that's why they keep humans away from it while they're running them.

It was controlled. They had a controlled test of a new prototype, and sometimes they explode. That's why you put in extra controls to manage the explosions.
