🚨#BREAKING: Debris was seen over the Caribbean after SpaceX's Starship broke apart during a test flight, creating a spectacular show in the sky.

📌#Caicos | #Islands

Watch as multiple footage shows debris lights up the skies as SpaceX successfully launched Starship Flight 7 at 4:37 PM CST from Starbase in Southern Texas. However, the mission has been confirmed as a failure, with the craft breaking apart mid-flight. This caused debris to reenter Earth’s atmosphere, creating a spectacular show over the Turks and Caicos Islands. Despite the failure, SpaceX achieved a significant milestone by successfully catching the rocket’s first booster for the second time. SpaceX has confirmed the event and is analyzing the data to improve future test flights
