Experts explain why SpaceX's Starship explosion was not a failure.

SpaceX activated its "flight termination system" during the first test flight of the Starship rocket, causing it to self-destruct as it veered off course. No people or satellites were on board. The rocket had experienced multiple engine failures and began to tumble before the system was activated. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said the company had "learned a lot" and would conduct another test launch in a few months. The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded the vehicle and will oversee the investigation into the mishap.
