The Starship SN10 spacecraft touched down successfully after a high-altitude test flight on March 3 2021. It launched 6.2 mi (10 km) into the sky and then came back to Earth for landing 6 minutes and 20 seconds after liftoff.  It was a major milestone for the company and its plans to go to Mars. But unfortunately the starship exploded about eight minutes after landing.

The landing was truly incredible and a success, but the explosion might still be more fun to watch! Watch Starship SN10 explode in slow motion:

Below is the full video with the landing and the explosion in slow motion. Elon Musk shared it with the caption “N10 is in Valhalla now”:
