Dramatic Engine Test Dubbed Success Amidst Explosion

Caddo Mills, TX, May 19th, 2020—Set upon the Caddo Mills (Texas) Airport Testpad, Exos Aerospace’s new SARGE R2 rocket engine was ready for testing. The efficient eight-man Operations Team of Exos prepared to conduct a 55- second engine run test.

For 15 seconds, the perfect fiery exhaust gave a glimpse into the thrust that will fly the Exos’ SARGE R2 rocket.

But the impressive display of power was cut short by the failure of the LOX tank on the test stand, resulting in the near-instantaneous release of the liquid oxygen and ignition of the residual Ethanol in the supply lines between the tanks and the engine.

Wow!.. Not sure what's more impressive - the successful engine test or it's termination.

I assuming that LOX could've failed at anytime ie when they were setting up.

Exos will open up shop for production of their rocket components in Turin, Italy, after a couple of years of probing the Italian industry, and already initiating operation in the Southern region of Basilicata (where future final assembly and launches would take place from). They're expected to eventually settle next to the Thales Alenia Space / ALTEC site in the city, with 350 hires advertised over the next three years.

That's unusual. I wonder what's the backstory.
