Grimes, aka Claire Elise Boucher, posted this on Instagram after another mid-air explosion of a Space X prototype



Amid poor visibility, @SpaceX's test flight of the #StarshipSN11 prototype today ended in a(nother) mid-air explosion. @elonmusk tweeted details of the possible cause, and what we can expect from future iterations including the upcoming SN15. #tech2Sciencehttps://t.co/lLPrhLCeYG

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, tweeted an update minutes after the explosion occurred, citing an engine issue. "...engine 2 had issues on ascent & didn’t reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn, but, in theory, it wasn’t needed," he said.

The test flight of SN11 is the latest in an aggressive series of back-to-back tests for the SpaceX Starship prototype. In the last four months, the world has witnessed SN8, SN9, and SN10 take flight - all followed by explosions during landing (except for SN10, which exploded minutes after making a safe landing).
