SpaceX rocket being tested explodes into giant fireball before launch

undefined 24, 2025

SpaceX’s Starship 36 exploded in a fireball during launch prep at its Texas site on Wednesday night. No one was hurt, and safety measures were in place. The incident, called a “major anomaly,” is the latest in a string of Starship test failures. Previous tests ended in explosions or loss of control. Despite setbacks, Elon Musk remains optimistic, aiming to send humanoid robots to Mars by 2026 as part of SpaceX’s long-term goals.
