A planned test of Starship SN4’s single Raptor engine was completed at 1848 UT today at Boca Chica.
Shortly after the one-minute burn, at 1849 UT, opaque white clouds emerged from leaks along the side and bottom of SN4. At least one of the leaks contained methane fuel; the cloud was ignited, setting off an explosion that damaged the test stand and blew away the prototype.
By 1850 UT it was clear that SN4 was a total loss.
