SpaceX is not having the best luck with their Starship prototypes. Number 4 spectacularly exploded after a successful engine test yesterday; this seems to not necessarily be a problem with the Starship itself or its engine, but with either the plumbing, the procedures or maybe even jsut a manual mistake. Scott Manley goes through the available videos.
Unrelated, SpaceX will try – weather permitting – to launch their Crew Dragon again today at 3:22 PM eastern time. At this writing there doesn;t yet seem to be a live stream set up on YouTube.
UPDATE: here ya go…
