Stop me if you've heard this one before: SpaceX just launched one of its shiny new Starship prototypes. The spacecraft took off as planned, reached its intended altitude, performed well in all aspects, and then crashed into a fiery heap of twisted metal. Sound familiar? Well, that's because it's happened before... many times. The latest victim was the SN11 Starship prototype which was shot skyward and traveled over six miles into the air before returning to Earth for a landing attempt.

Because of some intense fog at the launch and landing location, video footage of the takeoff and crash are of incredibly poor quality. The onboard camera on the Starship died before the spacecraft hit the ground, and even footage being shot from the ground doesn't actually show the crash happen. We know it did happen, however, because a massive boom and huge chunks of the spacecraft were sent flying.
