A massive explosion shook SpaceX’s McGregor testing facility in Texas during a routine static fire test of its next-generation Raptor 3 engine.


The incident, captured on livestreams and by eyewitnesses, resulted in a sudden fireball that rapidly engulfed the structure in flames.

While the exact cause remains under investigation, experts suggest the explosion might have stemmed from a catastrophic engine failure or a malfunction in the test stand’s ground system equipment (GSE). Given the volatile nature of methane and oxygen propellants used in Raptor engines, a combustion anomaly or leak could have triggered the blast.

Emergency crews responded swiftly, extinguishing the fire within minutes. SpaceX has yet to release an official statement regarding potential damage or impacts on upcoming Starship launch plans. However, industry experts note that such failures, while alarming, are an integral part of iterative rocket development.

No injuries were reported from the explosion, reinforcing SpaceX’s stringent safety protocols. The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges in pushing forward cutting-edge space technology.
