SpaceX CEO Elon Musk commented on the explosion in a post, apparently considering it to be: “Just a scratch.”

SpaceX has been developing the 171-foot Starship and the 232-foot Super Heavy booster. The company announced at the start of 2025 that this year would be a “transformational” one for the program. The FAA recently increased its limit on Starship launches in Texas from 5 to 25.

Starship experienced an unexpected explosion during its seventh test flight in January, and again in March. It failed again during its ninth test in May. During the ninth test in May, the rocket failed to deploy the dummy Starlink satellites it was carrying onboard.

Musk stated the company is on track to attempt to send a Starship to Mars in 2026, estimating a “50/50” chance. SpaceX is also developing a larger “Version 3” of Starship that, according to Musk, could fly as early as this year.
