SpaceX Starship explodes during a test in Texas on Wednesday evening sending a huge fire ball into the sky.
SpaceX said the Starship “experienced a major anomaly” whilst it was on the test stand preparing for its flight test at the launch site.
“A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for,” SpaceX said in a statement.
