SpaceX Starship 36 explodes during static fire test.

SpaceX's Starship 36 exploded during a static fire test at the company's Starbase facility in Texas on June 18, 2025. The incident occurred around 11 pm CT, just before the rocket's engines were set to ignite. The exact cause is still unknown, but it's described as a "major anomaly" by SpaceX.

Fortunately, all personnel were safe and accounted for, thanks to a maintained safety perimeter.

SpaceX is working with local authorities to assess the incident and determine next steps.

The timeline for the next Starship flight is uncertain, pending damage assessment and safety reviews.

Despite setbacks, SpaceX is committed to rapid development and testing, seeing each failure as a learning opportunity for its long-term goal to make humanity a multiplanetary species.

This incident adds to a series of high-profile failures for SpaceX's Starship program in 2025, including previous explosions during test flights. However, SpaceX remains confident that Starship's eventual success will revolutionize space travel with fully reusable rockets carrying humans and cargo beyond Earth.#MyTradingStyle $BTC
