SpaceX will launch Starship for a seventh test flight on Thursday, after weather concerns pushed back an experiment that will feature the spacecraft’s first payload deployment test, in what may be the latest milestone for the Elon Musk-owned aerospace company as it develops reusable rockets.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described the explosion of the company’s Starship spacecraft during its seventh flight test Thursday as “barely a bump in the road,” underlining the momentum behind the commercial space giant.

A SpaceX Starship rocket broke up just minutes after launching in Texas, forcing flights over the Gulf of Mexico to change course to dodge falling debris and setting back Elon Musk’s flagship rocket programme.
