Social media users posted unverified video that purports to show the missile exploding.
Additionally, footage revealed orange balls of light trailing smoke across the sky over Port-Au-Prince, the capital of Haiti.
“Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!” A video of a blazing trail slicing across the sky was shared by Mr. Musk on X.
He added that the ship and launcher were “already waiting for launch” in their “improved versions.”
Musk stated shortly after that “nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next year.” “Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity,” Musk said.
