SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a post seemingly related to the explosion that he considers it to be: “Just a scratch.”
SpaceX 執行長 Elon Musk 在一篇看似與爆炸有關的帖子中表示，他認為這「只是小擦傷」。
SpaceX has spent the last few years aggressively developing the 171-foot Starship and the massive 232-foot Super Heavy booster that powers it into space.
SpaceX 在過去幾年中積極開發 171 英尺高的星艦和巨大的 232 英尺超級重型助推器，該助推器為星艦提供進入太空的動力。
The company started 2025 saying this year would be a “transformational” one for the program, and the FAA recently increased its limit on Starship launches in Texas from 5 to 25.

It failed again during its ninth test in May.
