Elon Musk downplays SpaceX Starship explosion

The explosion sent a huge fireball into the sky—visible from miles away—but thankfully, everyone on site was safe and there was no risk to nearby communities.
The incident has paused plans for Starship's 10th orbital flight, which had been set for late June.

This marks the third big Starship failure in 2025 alone.
Still, SpaceX isn't backing down from its Mars dreams; they're aiming to send an uncrewed Starship to the Red Planet by late 2026 as part of Musk's vision for human settlement on Mars.
