The seventh test flight of SpaceX’s Starship ended with a successful landing of the rocket’s first stage but also the loss of the Starship vehicle

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and officials from the Turks and Caicos Islands have launched probes into SpaceX's explosive Starship rocket test that sent debris streaking over the northern Caribbean and forced airlines to divert dozens of flights.

SpaceX launched its Starship mega-rocket for the seventh time. It achieve an epic booster catch but the ship was lost.

Government officials in Turks and Caicos said Friday that debris from a SpaceX rocket test that went awry fell over the Caribbean islands but that there have been no reported injuries so far and only minimal damages to property.

The incident in which a SpaceX rocket broke up after launch demonstrates the challenges the FAA will face as the number of commercial space flights increases.

The Super Heavy booster, meanwhile, was successfully caught in the launch tower's mechanical arms for only the second time

One just launched the world’s biggest rocket, with mixed success. The other makes small model rockets for hobbyists, and it's stockpiling supplies ahead of Trump's tariffs.

The satellite internet service says it serves 'fewer than 20,000 households' in New York, meaning it doesn't need to comply with the state's affordable broadband law.

"During the event, the FAA activated a Debris Response Area and briefly slowed aircraft outside the area where space vehicle debris was falling or stopped aircraft at their departure location."

El cohete Starship de SpaceX explotó a los pocos minutos de su séptimo vuelo de prueba, un revés inesperado después de que la empresa dirigida por Elon Musk hubiera realizado progresos constantes en el avance de las capacidades de la nave.
