- Yesterday, at approximately 7:00 PM, SpaceX conducted cryogenic testing on Starship 31 (S31) at Massey's test site. Unfortunately, the testing did not proceed as planned, resulting in a potential failure and subsequent electrical fire. This incident has raised concerns and sparked a thorough investigation.
During the cryo testing, S31 experienced some major issues, which led to an electrical fire. The exact cause of the failure is still unknown and is currently under investigation. A drone inspection was promptly conducted to assess the damage and gather critical information.
While the incident may raise concerns, it's essential to acknowledge that setbacks like this are an inherent part of the testing and development process. SpaceX has experienced similar incidents during the early stages of their prototype development, and this incident is likely a minor setback in the grand scheme of their progress.

Look ~ this is WHY you test. This is not a fail, this is a win. They found an issue long before it became a show-stopper. I would be curious what actually happened, but I guess we're only going to know that if Space-X tell us.
If this were Starliner would you be so…understanding?
Starship is another NASA unaffordable, unsustainable, dead-end 1970s tech throwback, 4 yrs late, $410 million per flight, flies every 2 years, and the rocket it flys on isn’t in production anymore.
Other than that it’s great.
Defund bloated, pork-driven, failed Federal Agency NASA. Go efficient, innovative, spirited private enterprise SpaceX.
@@executivesteps Yes, nobody was flying in it, and no whistle blowers died.
Better to test and find an issue like this than not test and discover the issue while it’s on its way to orbit with a crew onboard.
Unlike the days of NASA with every thing being Top secret.. the public was always treated like mushrooms.. kept in the dark and fed bullshit...
Normally we have like 8 eyes and 10 cameras each static fire, and here we have some long lost camera out in the boondocks.
Why would that cause concern in testing? isnt this the point of testing - to find the flaws before you send that monster to space?
Because it never failed before.
Thanks for the quick update. My guess is some kind of short circuit with the electrical system....
Top Notch Company SpaceX, Why do you think they test?!
Why can't SpaceX's plans be approved for periods in advance of the current date instead of causing delays???
Indeed... 🤔
as space x takes a lot of risks and some are almost deadly
@@user-kg2jw3we6b What dead? Who has died because of SpaceX?
Checks and balances to ensure reliability and longevity is just growing pains. Go SpaceX 🌎
Testing to Failure is the only way to absolutely confirm the integrity or maximum sustainable stress of a developing design. Some industries, like the construction of warships and passenger aircraft, impose much more demanding test regimes than others, because the consequences of failure can result in unacceptable losses.
At the same time, this week's SEVEN X-class solar flares, almost all of which generated separate Coronal Mass Ejections, seem the likely proximate cause of the Excess static electricity responsible for unanticipated electrical discharges between the tower and the craft. The extraordinary extent of the Auroras, both Northern and Southern, are merely the most VISIBLE signs of Titanic current flows being directed into the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, crust and mantle.
Thank Gawd it didn’t completely blow up!! Can you imagine😳
small Carrington event with all the recent solar activity ?
Why is the Federal AVIATION Administration conducting an Environmental review? What is the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY doing? I would prefer the FAA concern itself with flight safety and leave the environment to the EPA.
Clearly a stalling tactic to punish Elon.
This administration weaponizes every Federal Agency to undermine, obstruct Elon Musk & his companies as payback/punishment for exposing administration directed Twitter censorship & for allowing free speech on X.
There are people in the government who dislike the owner/head of the company for his politics.
@@rogerrussell9544Musk needs to remember that SpaceX relies a great deal on tax payer funding. If he conducts himself to irritate a huge block of voters, he deserves push back. His campaign to give hate speech and Anti-Semitism a platform on Xitter, isn't winning him any new fans. Even so: the FAA isn't just "punishing" him as some petty campaign. They have a job to do like every government agency.
They do this with a lot of airports and other launch sites with multiple accidents. this has less to do with sea turtles and more to do with not having humans blow up.
Future craft will be even safer now. SpaceX has been doing a phenomenal job! And at such a fast pace its just absolutely amazing. Everything they do just feels like its so well thought through, right down to the impact on the surrounding area.
That's why you test.
Bad ground.
A failure of electrical testing before full load applied could have caused the fire, or sabotage, but hopefully not, thank goodness the Starship was not full of fuel and lox, someone needs to explain why it happened and who was the electrician. 🤔😯🚀🚀🚀🚀
I’m thinking some kind of failure is what everyone has come to expect from elmo and everything he touches.
As soon as it works he will demand a huge bonus and cash out.
According to Musk, hyperloop would be useful on Mars as no tubes would be needed because Mars' atmosphere is about 1% the density of the Earth's at sea level.
another excuse for the FAA to delay issuing a launch license.
Dont need another Challenger mishap
That was not a mishap. Nasa was notified that the temperature outside was to low for the seals by engineers. The flight controller, most likely under political pressure, let the ship launch.
Gracias que noooo estaba abordó de la nave estelar. 🥶Thank you nooo I was on board the starchip. 🥶
1 million lost, ship 31 to scrap yard! Now ship 32
Maybe. An electrical fire may not be cause to scrap it.
This is not an issue that’s why they test test test, no story like they said , they’ll fix it.
Of course its an issue, something going wrong is always an issue. But it does not have to be a major one. (Best case scenario, there was a production issue that can be easy fixed with some minor adjustments and more QC. A little bigger issue if it was a design issue that might affect more prototypes, maybe even those that has passed the test earlier)
Can you imagine if we were able to just get the FAA approval right away every time!? What starship launch# do you think we’d be on by now?! Hell we could be on the moon by now!🤷♂️ just sayin
Thats why they call them tests
They should move to area51 Groom Lake test site
I smell a rat.....or perhaps a mouse. There are at least 5 species of rodents living along the Gulf coast of Texas and they all have one thing in common....they love to chew on wiring insulation. Having rodents chew the wiring harness on local vehicles that are in storage is not unusual. Crank up your motorhome after it has been sitting for a while and you might get sparks or smoke. With all the human activity going on at Starbase, rodents are likely in this area and the preassembled wiring harnesses have to stored with great care. Even partially assembled Starships need to be protected from mice and rats.
Where is the big news Artimus / Starliner fail to launch investigation and big launch environmental study?? FJB
FJB?? you mean Boeing and ULA???.
Last I checked Biden is not the president of Boeing or United Launch Alliance...
MAGAT.... FDJT 20-24 years in prison
i9f the American Government FAA will not permit SpaceX to test and develop it's rockets without serious regulatory delays, then SpaceX will need to find a country that will permit them to develop the rocket. (China or French Guiana may be top for consideration)
As long as Musk refunds the $4.1 billion dollars of taxpayer money awarded by the Biden Administration for Starship R&D and construction.
😂😂 yeah that's not a possibility whatsoever space x has contracts with the United States military and government. They are not allowed to show or give anything to China nor cooperate with China in any way, shape or form
send him back to africa.........
Yes I agree, as a Bolivian, with a knowledge of the infrastructure in La Paz, There is a distinct possibility that in the low populated area, south of Copacabana next to the Copacabana international airport a launch facility can be built, without the interference of the FAA.
President Luis Arce would have to be asked to clear the way, Keeping in mind that to the west there is a deep water port, Arica , from which an adequate highway exists to San Andrés, allowing structures to be transported.
Important is that the southern latitude is around 17.5° at a possible site with an elevation about 13000 feet.
This increases the engine's specific impulse, when larger skirts are used, in addition to a 94% contribution of the earth's equatorial velocity.
Check this out.
Copacabana is on the shores of clean lake Titicaca, with a river carrying enough water for the launch pad, Desaguadero is the river .
@@Arturo4586 That is absolutely not possible. SpaceX has contracts for the United States government. We do not allow rocket technology to leave our country, especially not to some country like yours
ahhahhahaha
Put some duct tape on it, it'll be fine.
It's SpaceX, not Boeing...
Charlie fire!!!!!!Oh shit co2 extinguisher
These Musk ass-sniffers are hilarious. Every explosion is called a success because they learned another way to avoid an explosion. Do you think maybe we should find a better way to launch rockets other than trial and error?
The best are when they think he is doing the engineering and paying out of his pocket.
USA spaceX,NASA,and others,,,,Dont have Understanding of Rockets and Space Tech!
The same people that hate SpaceX, hate Tom Brady, and Tebow.
we dont h8 spacex.. we h8 ellen musty....
And Motherhood and apple pie.
When it's a video about Elmo Musk's efforts, I always think the 'K' in KSC is 'Kerbal'.
HELLO MAHAL❤ELON DILI MAG AMPO MGA TAWO DAUTAN KAY LOOY TANAN MAWALA SA MARS GA TRAVEL PALAYO LANG NA DIYOS KO GINOO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are drunk?
Welcome to the Woke environment and DEI...
Oh dear. Another 6 months of delay. Beginning to sound like Boeing.
You do know that ship 30 not 31 is next on the flight line, and it has passed all its tests..
Boing's problem is internal, Space-X's is Biden's, administration.
Why didn't the Saturn have all these development problems back in the rocket stone age? Because failure was not an option. Now, with Starship, failure is called success. Waste of taxpayer and investor funds for a vehicle with no real market.
Saturn 1 had a fatal fire, killing 3 astronauts, which required a total redesign of the capsule and delaying the program substantially. Your lack of knowledge of history and faith in government (of all things!) Is disturbing.
Space x is taking L after L
😂😂😂OK.....
W after W you mean, progress=progress
Yeah, taking a nail while cashing big fat checks for being the most advanced space company on Earth. The only company that has reusable rockets you're the one taking the L
@@leroy420b Sounds like a Boeing hack whining.
EVERY PENNY SPACEX HAS MADE FROM FALCON IS SPENT ON STARSHIP.. SPACEX IS NOT LIQUID AND SURVIVES ON FEDERAL HANDOUTS... LOL
CRAZY the basic shit these guys can't get don't. 5 years behind the moon mission because of Musk!!
ah SLS is 16 years behind advertised planning without space x.
Starship = Challenger 2.0
Who are these techno Luddites commenting on this thread? You're just a NPC spouting ignorant blathers.
Sabotage no doubt
No. Obviously, it is an act of a god.
@@lotanerve Which god?
@@iuliandragomir1 RA
Haha! Love it. SpaceX, just leave space flight to those who know what they're doing.
What a dummy ,, if it was not for Musk and SpaceX the USA would not have the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy ,, the most reliable launch vehicle on the planet.
Just go back to flipping Burgers. 😂✌
You love problems? May you have many and enjoy laughing at yourself.. Based on the number of successful launches and landings, OVER 300 for the F9 since 2013, no other gov or company has more or even an equal number. Ergo, no other company or gov knows more about launches AND landings than Musk and SpaceX.
What disturbs you the most, that SpaceX is a free enterprise or Musk enjoys free speech and voices his own opinion? (Soyuz has over 1,000 launches but NO landings and its cadence has been reduced to almost zero by the success of the F9. Russia is working as hard and fast as it can to create a reusable launch vehicle)
