SpaceX's Starship Blows Over in Texas High Winds
A prototype of the Starship spacecraft fell over and caught fire after strong winds hit the SpaceX facility in Boca Chica, Texas.
The incident is a setback for SpaceX's plans to launch Starship into orbit this year.
The Starship is a fully reusable spacecraft that is designed to transport cargo and crew to Mars and other destinations. The spacecraft is still in development, and this is the first time that a prototype has been damaged in this way.
The winds were so strong that they caused the Starship to topple over and catch fire. The fire was quickly extinguished, but the Starship was damaged.
SpaceX is investigating the incident and has not yet announced when it will attempt to launch Starship again.
The incident is a setback for SpaceX's plans to launch Starship into orbit this year. However, it is important to remember that the Starship is still in development and that setbacks are expected.
SpaceX is a privately funded company that is developing reusable rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded by Elon Musk in 2002.
