While preparing for a six-engine static fire test as part of its prelaunch campaign, SpaceX’s Starship prototype Ship 36 suffered a critical anomaly that led to its destruction and caused extensive damage to the Massey rocket testing site in Starbase, Texas. The test facility is situated approximately eight kilometers from the Starship production complex and around fourteen kilometers from the edge of Brownsville.

According to a statement from SpaceX, all personnel are safe and no injuries have been reported.
