SpaceX Starship SN1 Implodes in Texas
In 2019, Elon Musk's SpaceX rocket company built a thing of beauty: a giant rocketship built of shining stainless steel in the fields of West Texas. Today, that rocketship lies in a heap of scrap metal.
The Starship in question, dubbed "SN1," was undergoing pressure testing over the weekend preparatory to a suborbital test launch that was supposed to take the vessel straight up 20 kilometers, and then straight back down 20 kilometers to land on its tail. Sadly, SN1 will now never make that trip.
