When SpaceX's test flight of its SN10 Starship ended in a safe vertical landing, the test appeared to be a resounding success. Then the spaceship exploded.
Previous SpaceX launches of the Starship spacecraft ended in massive explosions after prototypes underwent technical difficulties and ultimately wound up crash-landing.
A prototype of SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded minutes after successfully launching and landing vertically, as intended, in a high-altitude experimental test from Boca Chica, Texas.
