SHIP 36 EXPLOSION! Something Weird Happened to S36 Static Fire Test! Mas...


Within the spaceflight community, "Go Fever" is regarded as a nasty bitch (apologies for the language there) and late Wednesday night it struck SpaceX hard with the explosion of Ship 36 during a static fire test, with subsequent destruction of the Massey's Test Site at Starbase.

First reports are a burst rupture in the methane tank of Ship 36 but again, that is a first report; nonetheless, it is almost certain Starship's next flight (currently Flight 10) won't be for some time to come, if at all this year.
