SpaceX Starship explosion

Starship launched yesterday afternoon from SpaceX’s Starbase site in South Texas, kicking of the seventh flight test of the 403-foot-tall (123 meters) megarocket.Ship ran into problems shortly after its partner’s big moment, however. The 171-foot-tall (52 m) spacecraft broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean roughly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, creating a sky show seen by observers in the Turks and Caicos islands and other nearby locales. SpaceX plans to fly Starship often in 2025; the company has applied for permission to launch the megarocket from Starbase up to 25 times this year. The explosion that destroyed the upper stage of SpaceX’s Starship vehicle yesterday (Jan. 16) was likely caused by a leak. What is your take on space missions’ success ?
