SpaceX's Starship, intended for lunar missions, encountered a setback in its second test flight. The Super Heavy booster, successfully separating from the core stage, exploded over the Gulf of Mexico. While the primary Starship continued its trajectory, a sudden loss of contact occurred 10 minutes into the flight. SpaceX, addressing the incident on social media, described it as a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." Despite the setback, the company emphasized the importance of learning from the test, aiming to enhance Starship's reliability for future multiplanetary endeavors, including lunar and Martian missions for NASA.
