Starship is a key project of SpaceX aimed at creating a reusable transportation system for deep space missions, including flights to the Moon and Mars. However, the tests have been accompanied by technical difficulties, and previous tests have also ended in failures.

SpaceX representatives have not yet provided an official explanation for the loss of contact and subsequent explosion. However, such tests are seen as part of the development process, helping to identify weak points in the design and software.

Despite the latest failed test, SpaceX continues working on Starship, improving its systems and addressing identified issues. The company aims to achieve full reliability of the spacecraft before its first crewed flight.
