US watchdog grounds SpaceX Starship after that explosion
America's Federal Aviation Administration has grounded SpaceX's Starship to conduct a safety investigation after the heavy-lift launch vehicle rocket destroyed a chunk of the launch pad and exploded during a test last week.
SpaceX was unable to get Starship, said to be the world's most powerful rocket, into orbit during that experiment. The rocket started rotating mid-air when itto break free of its booster shortly after takeoff on April 27. It began falling uncontrollably back to Earth, and was detonated over Boca Chica, Texas, within minutes of launch.
Before it even got to that point, Starship had damaged the pad and nearby space center infrastructure during blastoff, and scattered ash and dust over wildlife areas and a nearby town. A video recording of the flight showed chunks of concrete being kicked up by the launch and smashing the windows of a car, and created a cloud of ash and dirt. The mess descended onto Port Isabel, where residents reported hearing the roar of Starship's engines and feeling the ground shake.
