An explosion on the launch pad during a test of a massive SpaceX rocket prototype was 'actually not good' and the company is assessing the damage, company CEO Elon Musk says
New York An explosion on the launch pad during a test of a massive SpaceX rocket prototype was"actually not good" and the company is assessing the damage, company CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter.
The rocket, an early version of the vehicle SpaceX is calling Starship, could be seen lighting its engines as it remained anchored to its South Texas launch pad in footage captured Monday by NASA Spaceflight, a media outlet with no relation to the space agency. Then, a blaze of uncontrolled flames erupted from the engines, followed by plumes of gray smoke. After the smoke cleared, no visible signs of external damage could be seen from NASA Spaceflight's livestream.
