"Elon Musk Explains Starship Explosion and Future Plans"

Elon Musk revealed that the explosion of SpaceX's Starship rocket during its second test flight was caused by a venting of liquid oxygen, which would not have occurred if the rocket had been carrying a payload. Despite the explosion, the rocket had been performing well and was close to reaching orbit. SpaceX plans to launch a third test flight soon, aiming for full reusability and rapid development. The company also aims to start launching its next-generation Starlink internet satellites aboard Starship by the end of the year, with NASA selecting the vehicle for its Artemis program of moon exploration. Musk also discussed plans for a more reliable and taller Version 2 and Version 3 of the Starship rocket.
