A SpaceX Starship mission was brought to an end after about 90 minutes, far earlier than the planned 10-hour duration, with footage showing the splashdown ending in a fireball.

The mission was expected to continue for 10 hours. However, SpaceX announced that it was ending after approximately 90 minutes.

Video of the event shows Starship reaching its splashdown before the scene ends in a fireball. The supplied material does not provide further details about the cause of the fireball or the wider outcome of the mission.

No additional information is available on the timing or location of the splashdown, or on any next steps for the programme.
