Summary

The FAA and Turks and Caicos officials are investigating SpaceX’s Starship rocket test explosion, which sent debris over the northern Caribbean, forcing flight diversions.

The upgraded Starship exploded over the Bahamas eight minutes after launch, scattering fiery debris that caused intense rumbling in the Turks and Caicos.

Residents described shaking walls and loud booms, likened to a small earthquake.

No injuries were reported, but property damage is under review.

SpaceX cited a fire in the rocket’s aft section as the cause of the failure during its seventh test flight.

    We need a urinal cake company to step up and start selling grave shaped cakes to piss on.

    Could start with Kissinger, or even preemptive graves for Trump or Musk for the less patient.

    Maybe Cards Against Humanity could sell them.
