"Many Photos" - SpaceX’s ‘Starhopper’ launch aborted after top of rocket bursts into flames

THE much-hyped launch of SpaceX’s Starhopper was aborted after the engine caught fire and sent flames shooting from the top of the rocket.

The rocket was supposed to take off and hover 20 metres above the ground as part of a test in Boca Chica Beach, Texas, US.

But the test was called off when the Raptor engine burned for several second before shutting down and engulfing the spaceship in flames.

The Starhopper is a smaller scale version of the Starship rocket that Elon Musk’s wants to send to the moon as early 2021.

SpaceX previously announced plans to send a group of artists around the moon on Starship in 2023.
