  Starship's V2 redesign suffered almost exactly the same failure on flight 8 as it did on flight 7, fire in the engine bay leading to engine failure and RUD.

The article from NextBigFuture discusses the uncertainties surrounding the failure of SpaceX's Starship Flight 8. It highlights that while the exact cause of the failure remains unknown, several factors could have contributed, including issues with the rocket's engines, structural integrity, or unexpected interactions during flight. The article speculates on potential problems like fuel leaks, engine malfunctions, or even software errors that might have led to the rocket's disintegration. SpaceX's approach to rapid iterative development means that failures are part of the learning process, with each test flight providing valuable data to refine the Starship design. The piece also touches on the broader implications for SpaceX's ambitious plans, including the development of a fully reusable rocket system aimed at missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, emphasizing the inherent risks and the high stakes involved in pushing the boundaries of space technology.
