SpaceX’s Starship rocket exploded shortly after takeoff on Thursday, marking its second failure this year. The rocket, designed for future Mars missions, launched from Texas but broke apart just minutes later.
The explosion sent fiery debris into the sky, with pieces spotted near Florida and the Bahamas. This accident comes just a month after a similar failure when the rocket’s engines shut down, causing it to lose control.
Due to falling debris, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily stopped flights at some Florida airports for safety reasons.
SpaceX is now under investigation as it works to fix problems and improve the Starship program. Despite these setbacks, the company remains focused on developing the rocket for future space missions.
