A SpaceX rocket was seen bursting into a gigantic ball of fire during a routine test in Texas Wednesday night.
The Starship 36 rocket was undergoing a static fire test at Elon Musk's Starbase test site at around 11pm when shocking footage shows its nose suddenly bursts open - causing the screen to momentarily flash white.
When the light finally faded, a giant ball of fire could be seen spreading on the ground as black clouds of smoke reached up to the night sky.
The static fire test is a pre-flight procedure in which a rocket engine or a set of engines are ignited while the vehicle is firmly bolted to the launch mount, meaning the rocket was not set to launch Wednesday night when the explosion occurred.
In a statement, SpaceX said the rocket suffered 'a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase.
'A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for,' the company stated.
'Our Starbase team is actively working to safe the test site and the immediate surrounding area in conjunction with local officials,' it added, noting that there 'are no hazards to residents in surrounding communities, and we ask that individuals do not attempt to approach the area while safing operations continue.'
But local居民报告说，根据valleycentral的说法，大规模的爆炸震动了窗户和嘎嘎作响的菜肴。

尽管发射和初始上升顺利进行，但是当它的发动机重新点燃以飞溅的速度时，超级重型助推器却遭受了灾难性的失败。
spacex确认了促进失败的损失，但预期的是极端测试条件。
But earlier last month, another static fire test on the 35th iteration of the Starship rocket suffered a similar fiery fate when an object flew out of the 'flame trench' - a deep channel below the launchpad designed to deflect flames generated by the boosters.
The rocket has also suffered two back-to-back今年的测试飞行失败，两者都在空中爆炸。

Despite the setbacks of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's dream of interplanetary colonization, the aerospace company emphasized the value of the flight last month.
'通过这样的测试，成功来自我们所学的知识，而今天的测试将有助于我们提高星际飞船的可靠性，因为SpaceX试图使生活多个星际活动。 class =“ Mol-Para-with-font”> SpaceX先前还表示，尽管爆炸爆炸了。当我们试图将星际飞船作为完全可重复使用的车辆带来时，执行设计变化。
