SpaceX Exploded

SpaceX achieved a momentous yet bittersweet milestone during Thursday’s (January 17, 2025) Starship test flight when the spacecraft experienced catastrophic failure minutes after its upgraded booster successfully returned to the launch pad.

Elon Musk-led SpaceX Starship successfully launched on its fifth test flight from Texas, marking a significant milestone in space exploration.

SpaceX is planning another test flight for its mega-rocket on Friday, following the final approval from federal regulators.
