That's not the photo you want to show potential space tourists!!

Experts raised some eyebrows when they noticed that a UK-based space tourism startup called Stellar Frontiers, whichto connecting would-be private astronauts with commercial spaceflight companies, is accidentally using a photo of an exploding Northrop Grumman Antares rocket on its website. Worse yet, the image is mislabeled as SpaceX's Starship spacecraft, which in reality hasn't even made it to orbit yet.

But the launch depicted in the photo has absolutely nothing to do with SpaceX's Starship, a massive spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The Elon Musk-led company has had its own fair share of launch failures while developing the spacecraft over the last couple of years.Images of these launch failures can easily be found online, which only makes us wonder why Stellar Frontiers had to resort to an image showing NASA's 2014 launch failure.
