Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down and broke apart.

This time, wreckage from the latest explosion was seen streaming from the skies over Florida. It was not immediately known whether the spacecraft’s self-destruct system had kicked in to blow it up.

      Did it end in 2022, when there was supposed to be a base on Mars?
      Or did it end 2024 when there was supposed to be manned flights to Mars?

    Yet another Musk project literally crashes and burns as a result of his leadership. Looks like we have a fireworks show in store for his latest project, the United States of America.
