Elon's SpaceX Starship:

Massey's test site after Ship 36 explosion.
Initial indication of the cause was a faulty nitrogen COPV.
In comparison, 2 of the 3 Falcon 9 mission failures was caused by a faulty COPV in the disposable upper stage. All three Falcon 9 mission failures was caused by the expendable Falcon 9 upper stage. None of the Falcon 9's reusable booster stages have caused a mission failure.

#PPOD: JWST's NIRCam captured this picture of the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa. JWST identified carbon dioxide on the icy surface of Europa, which likely originated in the moon’s subsurface ocean. This discovery has important implications for the potential habitability of Europa’s ocean. The moon appears blue primarily because it is brighter at shorter infrared wavelengths.

In a serious gain in efficiency, a Space X Starship prototype has exploded without actually being launched.
They're next plan is to see if they can produce an explosion during the assembly process.

Elon's SpaceX Starship:

Ship 36 single engine static fire. To simulate an in-space burn.
For Ship 36's upcoming orbital velocity flight attempt (IFT 10), it must be able to successfully perform such an engine restart during flight. This is to prove that V2 Starship upper stages can do a de-orbit burn, before they can circularize their orbits. This is to avoid leaving a tumbling 100+ metric ton heat-shielded object stranded in space.
