After another rough landing on Tuesday afternoon, Elon Musk's SpaceX second huge Starship concept named SN9, blew up in a giant fireball. The Federal Administration of Aviation, according to a new statement, is formally examining the blast.

In the declaration, the department said it would supervise the landing mishap's review involving SN9 on Tuesday to "identify the root cause" and further strengthen protection as the software evolves.

Fireball 2.0

Following the first significant Starship fireball in December concerning its SN8 concept, the Elon Musk-led space company was still in hot water with the FAA.

According to a second FAA release, SpaceX did not obey the safety regulations and continued with the December launch without proving that the public possibility of far-field blast overpressure was under regulatory requirements.

The FAA warned SpaceX earlier this week not to launch the SN9 project, stating that the proposed launch surpassed the overall public danger permissible by security regulations.

SpaceX was subsequently ordered to scrub the launch, which was initially scheduled for Friday, by the regulator.

Elon Musk Regrets, Admits It Was a Foolish Mistake

Igniting all three Raptor rocket engines from the SN9 prototype until reaching the ground would have produced fewer points of failure during the test flight on Tuesday. In other terms, the illumination of three engines will cause the two engines needed to create a soft landing to be selected.

Musk admitted what went wrong in an answer to SpaceX enthusiast Tim Dodd, best regarded as the Everyday Astronaut, on Twitter. Musk said, facetiously, we believe, "[they] were too dumb" when asked on Twitter why they were only igniting two engines for landing in executing any points of failure.

Musk agreed that it was their responsibility, the launch team of SpaceX, for the explosion as the organization did not start the engines upon descent and shut down another, despite trying to land two fired-up engines. In addition, the CEO addressed a fan's concern about a better launch to power up all three engines in the event of systems failure.

However, since both engines have minimum throttle points and ought to sustain a certain number of engines upon descent, that too will have high chances of a flameout and explosion. Elon Musk also demonstrates to fans that upon relighting it on the decline, the Raptor engines realize when to switch off one engine by themselves.

With SN10, Elon Musk Says SpaceX Will Try Again

Elon Musk is already at it, despite a game of serious risks and elevated rewards. It's a move, according to the SpaceX CEO, that they will introduce for SN10. Maybe this test launch isn't going to end in an Earth-scorching explosion.

Although Elon Musk did not state explicitly that they will attempt the Starship project for another test launch, his explanations, and tweet that they would pursue the "Pull Up" form of landing indicates their next trial.
