On June 18, SpaceX's "Starship" prototype S36 experienced an explosion during a routine static fire test. In a subsequent statement, SpaceX assured that the incident resulted in no casualties and posed no threat to the surrounding area. The engineering team is diligently investigating the cause, with preliminary findings indicating a potential failure of the Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel (COPV). However, the data is still undergoing a thorough examination. The spacecraft was originally slated for its tenth test flight on June 30.
