An unexpected explosion during super heavy booster 7’s tests has put any orbital plans momentarily on hold. The dramatic event took place at 5:20 p.m. ET, July 11, at SpaceX’s Boca Chica facility in Texas, the site SpaceX aims to use for Starship’s orbital launch.
Shortly after the incident, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted that the company had “shut down the pad for the night for safety” and that they “will know more in the morning.”
On first inspection, the explosion didn’t seem to do substantial damage to the booster. Musk, in fact, pointed out in a tweet that the “base of the vehicle seems ok” after he took a look with a flashlight. Though, SpaceX will “know more in the morning.”
