SpaceX Starship test again erupts in a huge fireball, explosion occurs before the tenth test flight!

According to Gate News bot and a report by Forbes, on Wednesday evening, SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded while preparing for a flight test at the Starbase testing facility in Texas, creating a huge fireball. This incident is the latest in a series of explosions occurring during tests of the company's most powerful launch vehicle.

The explosion occurred around 11 PM Central Daylight Time in the United States, and SpaceX's live stream captured the moment of the explosion as the Starship rocket was preparing for a flight test.

The company stated in a statement that "a significant anomaly occurred on the test stand" while preparing the spacecraft for its tenth flight test.

SpaceX stated that the safety exclusion zone around the rocket test site "was maintained throughout the operation, and all personnel were safe and had their identities confirmed."

The company stated that "residents of the surrounding community were not harmed," but urged local residents "not to attempt to approach the area while safe operations continue."

A spokesperson for the Brownsville Fire Department told KRGV-TV, an ABC affiliate, that firefighters have been dispatched to the explosion site, but the exact scale of the incident is currently unclear.
