"During a deluge test today, what seems to be an explosive event was observed in the deluge farm followed by the deluge shutting down."
"Bit of an issue with the deluge yesterday in SpaceX's testing, but nothing that seems to have caused too much damage."
SpaceX's inaugural Starship rocket launch caused significant damage to the launch pad due to a lack of reinforcement. Subsequent tests led to the implementation of a reinforced steel plate and a water deluge system to combat flames. Recently, a deluge test resulted in an explosive event, although damage appeared minimal. The incident raises uncertainty about the schedule for the upcoming 12th test launch, which is planned for next week, but drone footage suggests limited impact from the explosion.
