SpaceX's Starship Launch Ends in Debris and Destruction.

TL;DR Summary
SpaceX's Starship rocket launch scattered debris for hundreds of yards, leaving a crater under its launch mount, dents in nearby storage tanks, and questions about the extent of the repairs and when SpaceX might be able to attempt to launch again. Videos showed shrapnel striking the nearby beach and pummeling the shoreline, making it seem like a war zone. The FAA said that no one was hurt and no public property was damaged. SpaceX had been hoping to launch another Starship within “a few months,” but that will depend on how widespread the damage is and how quickly SpaceX can repair it.
