SpaceX is investigating an engine test failure involving one of its Crew Dragon capsules at Cape Canaveral, Florida. 

Dragon capsule suffered an 'anomaly'..... - it blew up. Well grainy footage has emerged. Apparently first released on Twitter. 

As widely reported now, SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule suffered an "anomaly" during routine engine tests in Florida. What I want to talk to you about today is a reason to not panic here.

On April 20th SpaceX was performing an engine test on its recovered Dragon 2 capsule when an anomaly occurred. Large clouds of orange tinted smoke were seen for miles around the test site and sources reported that the capsule has been destroyed.

Lots of new this week so here is a quick snapshot of everything going on. Firstly we’ll explore some news around Starhopper and Starship prototypes, we’re going to take a little peak at some of the most beautiful footage I’ve ever seen of the Dragon docked to the space station with a sunrise going on here in the background. We’ve had a the final United Launch Alliance flight of the Delta IV Medium rocket which is a little sad so we’ll touch on that. And also a little bit of exciting news that dropped this week about a brand new version of the game Kerbal Space Program 2 which has been announced. So loads of things to cover here.

In this episode of SpaceX in the News, we look at Starhopper's last minute changes before it's upcoming hops; analyze some recent launch site upgrades; investigate both Starships; learn about new contracts awarded to SpaceX; talk about the recent Cargo Dragon splashdown; find out about Mister Steven's return to service; and go over the upcoming Falcon Heavy STP-2 launch.
