"Yeah, it's not really good. The team is assessing the damage," he noted. Video of the explosion was posted on his Twitter account by NASASpaceFlight.com editor-in-chief Chris Bergin.

Musk commented on the incident, noting that Raptor rocket engines have a complicated launch sequence. According to him, the next tests will not launch all 33 engines simultaneously.
