SpaceX announced that the Starship prototype was destroyed during a test flight.
According to the company, an unusual malfunction occurred as the rocket was ascending.
Videos showing the explosion of the Starship rocket and its fragments falling have appeared on the internet. The footage shows the rocket exploding in the air, its parts entering the atmosphere, leaving a bright trail behind. The debris lit up the night sky over the Caribbean Sea.
Nevertheless, SpaceX successfully returned the Super Heavy booster to Earth for the second time using an improved launch tower.
