The Rise and Fall of SpaceX's Starship Rocket.
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Daily Mail
Elon Musk's Starship rocket burst into flames just four minutes after takeoff, spraying debris all over the southern Texas coast. The Federal Aviation Administration has grounded all of SpaceX's Starship rockets as it investigates the failed launch. Despite the explosion, SpaceX considers the launch a success as it cleared the launch pad. The rocket is designed to be bigger and more powerful than others of its kind, capable of lifting more than 100 metric tons into orbit, and bringing humans to Mars. The incident has raised questions about the need for more commercial spaceflight regulation.
