A prototype of SpaceX's rocket Starship crashed in a fiery explosion during a test launch along the Texas coast on December 9.
The company plans to use the final version of the rocket for Mars missions. Despite the catastrophic finale, CEO Elon Musk was thrilled and tweeted, “Mars, here we come!!”
SpaceX founder said that a too-fast landing speed was the reason behind the crash. "Fuel header tank pressure was low during landing burn, causing touchdown velocity to be high & RUD, but we got all the data we needed!," Musk tweeted.
