  • It went down in a tiny town called Starbase, Texas.

  • Population 500 or so.

  • Home, though, of Elon Musk's SpaceX.

  • On Wednesday night, the company was testing its Starship and things went horribly wrong.

  • Whoa!

  • Whoa!

  • What?

  • No!

  • Oh my God.

  • Luckily, no one was in that spaceship, but there are real humans riding in Musk's Tesla robo-taxis.

  • Those had a relatively more successful launch in Texas on Sunday.

  • But we're going to ask if Tesla's really ready for driverless vehicles on Today Explained.
