ELON Musk’s Starship rocket reportedly exploded just minutes into its seventh test flight in a dramatic mid-air failure.
Incredible footage shows glowing debris raining down across the sky after the 400ft behemoth launched from Boca Chica, southern Texas, on Thursday.
The spacecraft was supposed to soar across the Gulf of Mexico from Texas on a near loop – similar to previous test flights.
SpaceX had packed it with 10 dummy satellites for practice at releasing them.
It was the first flight with this new and upgraded spacecraft.
But while the rocket’s booster performed flawlessly – making a successful return and being caught between two giant mechanical arms at the launchpad – the rocket itself vanished.

I hope elon makes a better president than a truck builder or a rocket maker!
Musk's Hindenberg moment. The pride and vanity of Corporate fascists. Napolean, Hitler, Putin, Trump.
I wouldn't watch anything from Elon musk I just seen it scrolling so I had to comment on how stupid you people are
Une fois de plus, la fusée de cet énergumène c'est écrasée contre la réalité, le dôme invisible qui emprisonne la terre et son atmosphère et les sépare de l'espace de manière infranchissable.
Personne n'est jamais allé dans l'espace.
C'est un mensonge.
Réalité quand tu nous tiens.
Ouvrez vos yeux et voyez.
Nous vivons dans une simulation.
La terre est une planète prison.
Ils vous mentirons dans la réalité et vous dirons la vérité dans les fims holiwoodiens.
Voyez le film MATRIX, il défini bien le monde dans lequel nous vivons.
Le seul homme capable de aller et venir à sa guise dans ce monde et ailleurs est connu sous le nom de Jésus-Christ.
Ce monde appartient à satan jusqu'au retour de Jésus-Christ.
À bon entendeur.
Je prie pour que les États Unis d'Amérique reçoivent trois bombes nucléaires sur la gueule spécifiquement sur les quartiers WASP, KuKluxKlan le plus tôt possible.
Au nom tout puissant de Jésus
Merci
Amen
😂
Billion dollar Fireworks 😂
Now imagine if you or I built a 400ft rocket in our backyard, blew it up in the sky and let the debris rain down on the locals. 😊
This is all waste of time energy and money
Come to Kumbh Mela and know this body and mind of yours are not even you 🙏🏾🪷✨
…and so will Elon Musk himself on day!
As long as they convince the masses you will never know the truth the stage is real lol so is the firmament 😊
As above so below
Genesis 1:6
Everyone cheering at explosion, astronauts will be using these rockets to launch in future!! Nothing funny at all about that
looks to me like new years fireworks.
I watched this whole video and they didn’t show us the actual explosion…
"Don't take your eyes off it, it's one heck of a light show" 😅
Just remember next time you cheer for elons failure that he isn't actually the one who makes the rockets. A talented group of people who happen to work for him are the ones building this stuff. Calling for his failure is the same as calling for humanity to fail. Its the same as hoping all of the people in the industry beneath him fail. You are children if you think this way. I for one used to dream of flying a space ship through the stars. But it seems like that won't happen. But I still want the descendants of ours who live multiple centuries from now to have that choice.
Damn I thought he had an Electric ⚡️ 🚀 🤷🏾♂️
Where’s the flat-earthers? Cuz that view of earth was beautiful! No ice wall, looks round.
I hope there was no one inside that!
This is the costliest and spectacular firework in the history of mankind.🤣
Good😂
😂😂😂😂
Waste of time
Isn't anyone going to assume it's terrorism??? 😂😂😂🇺🇲
Looks like Decepticons landing. 😎☠️
Elons business as usual.
Couldn't happen to a better person.
Let’s hope he stays on mars…
Was this done on purpose?! 😮
Was this recently?
Just like his cars…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would be nice if we can see the transition from going to space at night so we see the stars and as we going to space we can no longer see the stars
You can see in the first 30 seconds into launch that a black panel comes loose and flaps in the wind just barely in frame at the upper left. I wonder ifbthat had anything to do with it. But the fact that the booster can literally come back and land at the same tower it launched at is so marvelous it feels like science fiction! I wish there was more room to appreciate advances in space science in this world
So did Musk claim is was a success despite the rapid unscheduled disassembly?
Stupid reporters. They're like NFL refs injecting themselves in so many spectacular moments.
Did any viewers noticed! What was that on after 5:17 mint?🙄i felt like bat🦇 growled🥸…..
People are struggling and starving on planet earth…but the rich folks wants to go to space spending hundred of millions of dollars…what a selfish and horrible world we now live in… Come quickly LORD JESUS 🙏❤️
Trial and Error?
