SpaceX's latest Starship rocket prototype just exploded during an engine test
The three previous prototypes were destroyed through fueling issues.
In nearby Boca Chica Village, where SpaceX has bought up most of the roughly 35 residences that once stood there, about a dozen homeowners remain. Celia Johnson, who has owned her home there since the early 1990s, was in her house during the test. It does not appear anyone was hurt by the incident due to safety precautions taken prior to tests of this kind. SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Tomorrow, SpaceX is set to perform its second attempt to launch an historic mission sending two astronauts to the International Space Station. SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk previously said this week that the SN4 would launch on a 150-meter "hop" test flight in two to three weeks.
