Never stop learning, even as rockets falter.
After the COPV mishap, SpaceX’s teams are already probing and testing solutions—can Flight 10 still climb before month’s end?
Meanwhile, the Air Force has scrapped its Starship landing pad, and Congress has moved to safeguard NASA’s Space Launch System.
In a universe of constant change, every challenge becomes our next lesson. Let’s break down these updates on today’s episode of Great SpaceX!

COPV, or Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel, is clearly the most talked-about system on Starship right now. Resolving the issues related to this critical component is not just important for the next flight, but essential for the long-term future of the entire Starship program.
Recently, we witnessed an important step forward. New images from the McGregor test facility revealed what appeared to be an unusual test. A sudden explosion occurred, followed by an object being ejected high into the air. Many experts believe this was a dedicated test of Starship's COPV system.

This test may have been designed to simulate the same type of failure seen during the Ship 36 incident. In that event, the COPV and possibly other systems were pushed beyond their limits, leading to a destructive outcome. By intentionally recreating similar stress conditions, SpaceX can better identify root causes and refine the design. This process will be critical for enhancing safety and performance as Starship moves closer to operational status.
Testing like this plays a central role in perfecting the Starship system. Both Elon Musk and SpaceX have confirmed that the recent COPV failure was unlike anything they had encountered before. Musk shared that the nitrogen COPV failed at a pressure lower than its rated proof level. That is a significant issue, especially considering the vital roles these pressure vessels play.
