Space X's Starship SN11 test flight Explodes On Landing after foggy launch

 

SpaceX had previously scheduled the SN!! test on Monday,but had to postpone as the FAA ( Federal Aviation Administration ) was unable to reach the Starbase in time for launch, said Elon Musk on Twitter.
 

It was extremely foggy weather on at SpaceX launch pad in South Texas near Boca Chica, Texas (KVEO) on Mar 30,2021 launch day of SN11.The fourth high-altitude test of SN11 Starship could hardly be seen.


Starship SN11 took flight successfully on Mar 30,2021 but exploded upon impact, due to an anomaly during the landing sequence debris falls from the sky.
Vehicle was rotating about its axis more than during previous flights.Suggesting there was an issue with the belly flop maneuver but none of  this is confirmed.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Stated engine 2 had issue on ascent and didn't reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn,but, in theory, it wasn't needed and mentioned they will examine the 'bits.'
