The Starship rocket, known as Ship 36, burst into flames while engineers were running a routine engine test. The test involves fuelling the rocket and briefly turning on its engines without launching it. The cause of the explosion is still unknown, but it is likely to delay the rocket’s future launch. | The National | Facebook
