Elon Musk's reusable Starship explodes on Earth, creating a massive fireball.

The Starship, the largest and most powerful rocket in the world, owned by Space X and consequently Elon Musk, exploded tonight during a routine test at the company's space base in Texas (USA).
Although curiously , this is not the first time that this ship has exploded or had some problem , on this occasion it has surprised us with a huge fire, when a giant fireball formed, which fortunately did not leave anyone injured and the fire was brought under control in less than an hour.
In a statement, Space X said it has already begun an investigation to determine what went wrong and caused this giant fireball, and for now they are describing it as a "major anomaly" that occurred during the test.
The Starship spacecraft is preparing for its tenth flight, with the goal of collaborating with NASA on its space missions. Aside from being the largest rocket currently in existence, Starship stands out because its parts are reusable. The company is currently testing to return the ship's parts to Earth intact after takeoff, so they can be reused and thus reduce the costs of space missions.
On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 pm CT, the Starship preparing for the tenth flight test experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase. A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted…

While this may be a step backwards, the company is well on its way to achieving this goal, and although on this occasion the explosion was very spectacular, Space X's statement clarifies that "No damage has been reported to residents of the surrounding towns. We ask the public not to attempt to approach the area while operations last to ensure safety."
