Grok, how many of these fucking things have exploded?
As of June 2025, a total of 15 SpaceX Starship prototypes have exploded or been destroyed during testing, including both ground-based structural tests and flight attempts. This includes early failures like Mk1 and SN1 during pressure or static fire tests, as well as high-profile flight test explosions such as SN8 through SN11, and more recent full-stack failures like Integrated Flight Tests 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9. The most recent incident occurred on June 18, 2025, when Ship 36 exploded during a static fire test, marking the fourth major Starship failure this year. These incidents are part of SpaceX’s rapid development approach, where failures are used to iterate and improve the Starship system for future missions, including NASA’s Artemis program.
