The SpaceX Starship SN8's groundbreaking flight resulted into a crash landing Wednesday.

The flight test lasted about seven minutes and was about eight miles above the Earth.

SpaceX Founder Elon Musk said the destruction was a result of low pressure in a fuel tanks.

Musk said he is optimistic regardless and thanks the South Texas residents for their support calling the region the gateway to Mars.
