The Explosion was planned:
With a planned 8am Central Time Launch in Texas (3am Hawaii Time / 9am Eastern Time), such an explosive event would occur 90 minutes after launch time as the Starship returned to Earth near Hawaii. This means Starship would explode upon impact in the off-shore waters of Hawaii at 4:30am local time (10:30 am Eastern Time / 9:30 am Central Time) assuming an on-time launch free of technical issues.
While recovery of Starship isn’t expected due to the explosive event planned, SpaceX resources will attempt to retrieve any large debris pieces from the ocean.
