Space X launched their Starship yesterday (4/20) and it experienced what they called a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” just minutes after launch.

That is apparently a technical way of saying it exploded.

It was the first fully integrated Starship launch. The craft made it off the launch pad and about 39 kilometers into the sky making it an historic event. Then it exploded. Luckily there were no people on board and nobody was hurt by the expulsion or debris.

Space X owner Elon Musk posted this message on Twitter…

You can watch the whole thing from launch to “rapid unscheduled disassembly” in the video below.
