Starship Super Heavy went KABOOM. But what is it?

The fully configured Starship powered by the Super Heavy rocket lifted off from billionaire Elon Musk’s aerospace facility Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas for its maiden orbital flight. But, not all was right, it seems, as out of the 33 raptor engines, at least six did not ignite, adding to a reduced thrust generation needed to escape Earth's mighty gravitational pull.

While SpaceX in a tweet said that Starship experienced a rapid "unscheduled disassembly before stage separation," the rocket was intentionally destroyed by its self-destruct system, exploding and plummeting into the water.
