Space travel often involves explosions. Most of them are unintentional.
This one was actually intentional.
I can't imbed the video, sorry.
Burst testing inflatable things is very important so you know what happens if something goes wrong. Sierra, also building inflatable habitats, has been doing it too.
The inflatable module briefly reached 253 psi.
Inflatable space habitats are an important piece of technology because they can be made very light, reducing the amount of fuel needed to loft them into orbit.
