記事が前後してしまいましたが、ElonMusk氏率いるSpaceX Starship SN10の打ち上げに関する記述からです。

最初に打ち上げを試みた3月初旬、打ち上げは成功したかにみえたのですが、着陸に失敗、大爆発してしまいました。

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to launch the latest prototype of its next-generation Starship rocket on Wednesday, in the third high-altitude flight test of the system.

Starship prototype rocket Serial Number 10, or SN10, will aim to launch and fly as high as 10 kilometers, or about 32,800 feet in altitude. The rocket is built of stainless steel, representing the early versions of the rocket that Musk unveiled in 2019. 

SpaceX fired the rocket’s engines briefly for a launch attempt at about 3:15 p.m. ET but a “slightly conservative high thrust limit” caused the rocket to abort the attempt, Musk said in a tweet.
