Second SpaceX Starship spins uncontrolled in check flight

A SpaceX Starship check flight encountered points in orbit on Tuesday, spinning uncontrolled shortly earlier than its anticipated splashdown.

The spinning was brought on by gas leaks on board the rocket, which finally broke up upon re-entry into the Earth’s environment.

“Starship skilled a speedy unscheduled disassembly”, SpaceX wrote in a put up on X.

It comes after two earlier check flights resulted in failures.
