Elon's SpaceX Starship:
Booster 14 successfully lands back at its launch tower (OLM-1), Ship 33 blows up near end of its burn.
IFT-7, January 16, 2025.
Cause of Ship 33 RUD:
"Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity.
"Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and probably increase vent area. Nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next month."
