Starship, reusable spacecraft and second stage of the SpaceX BFR, SpaceX, Hawthorne, California, USA

Late at night on July 16, SpaceX's Starhopper underwent a Static Fire test with SN6 Raptor.

The actual firing was an expected duration firing of Raptor, but teams are evaluating off nominal issues that later included a fireball from the aft area (Hopper or GSE) during safing. Hopper is still standing, but the area will need to be safed to check on what requires repair.
