SN7.1 SPACEX STARSHIP TEST TANK EXPLODE SPECTACULARLY

SN7.1 SPACEX STARSHIP TEST TANK EXPLODE SPECTACULARLY

Since the starship prototype After both SN5 and SN6 successfully made the 150-meter jump, SN8’s 20-kilometer flight became everyone’s expectation. Musk tweeted on September 13 that the SN8 will complete the final assembly including the nose cone and wings in about a week, and after two more static ignitions, it will try to fly 18 kilometers! Of course, the time of the old horse has always been slower than its mouth, so I personally expect the SN8 to be assembled before the end of September, and if it goes well, it will fly 18 kilometers in mid-to-late October!

You do realize it was a test intended to destroy SN7? The first time they did this test it failed and the prototype did not blow up. Look closely at SN7 at the start of the video and you will notice something missing, AN ENGINE!
