Watch: SpaceX starship prototype explodes shortly after landing successfully
The unmanned Starship SN-10 prototype lifted off from SpaceX's seaside launch pad in Texas and flew to an altitude of about 10 km before landing.
Elon Musk's @SpaceX managed to successfully land one of its Starship prototypes at the end of a high-altitude test flight. But the triumph was short-lived as the spacecraft blew itself to pieces minutes after touchdown https://t.co/wvBKhIX4om 🚀 pic.twitter.com/fy8HAjfRtd
