From successful liftoff to disastrous breakdown: Spacex's Starship seventh test flight in pictures

IndiaTimes Friday, 17 January 2025
SpaceX's Starship, designed for future interplanetary missions, suffered a catastrophic failure on January 16, 2025, during its seventh test flight. The rocket exploded just minutes after liftoff from South Texas. Initial investigations revealed an oxygen/fuel leak above the engine firewall, causing pressure buildup and leading to the rocket’s destruction. Although the mission ended in disaster, SpaceX successfully recovered the Super Heavy booster using its "chopsticks" mechanism. Despite the setback, the company remains committed to improving the spacecraft for future missions, aiming to revolutionize space travel.
