A prototype of SpaceX's Starship rocket burst into flames after it crash-landed following a high altitude test flight from test facilities in Boca Chica. The self-guided, 16-story-tall rocket shut off its engines and executed a "belly-flop" manoeuvre after reaching the peak altitude of nearly 10 km. As per the reports, one of the three Raptor thrusters failed to ignite when the rocket was about to begin the landing sequence.
