Starship 36, a SpaceX rocket exploded into pieces while it was undergoing a routine testing in at Massey, Texas.

SpaceX's clarification
SpaceX released a statement on X, "On Wednesday, June 18 at approximately 11 p.m. 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 for. Our Starbase team is actively working to safe the test site and the immediate surrounding area in conjunction with local officials. There are no hazards to residents in surrounding communities, and we ask that individuals do not attempt to approach the area while safing operations continue," it read.

However, this explosion, was the latest addition to the series of SpaceX rocket failures.
