A SpaceX rocket on Elon Musk's Texas base erupted in a stunning fiery explosion, but officials confirmed there were no injuries and Musk himself called it "just a scratch."
The flash of bright white light followed by yellow flames and billowing clouds was caught on camera by several livestreams.
It happened about 11 p.m. Wednesday, a report at Fox Business explained.
SpaceX said, "The Starship preparing for the tenth flight test experienced a major anomaly while on a test stand at Starbase. … A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for.
"Our Starbase team is actively working to safe the test site and the immediate surrounding area in conjunction with local officials. There are no hazards to residents in surrounding communities, and we ask that individuals do not attempt to approach the area…"
"Cameron County Constable Precinct 1 shared a NASASpaceflight stream on his Facebook page.
'Whoa! Whoa! No,' a man can be heard saying once the explosion happened. 'Oh, my God,'" the report said.
"The caption at the bottom of the stream read: "SpaceX is expected to perform a static fire test of ship 36. The second in this series of testing for flight 10."
