FAA Demands Investigation into SpaceX Starship Mishap
Reading
SpaceX had a Starship flight this week. The flight did not go as planned, so there will be an investigation. The Federal Aviation Administration wants to learn more about the flight.
The Starship test flight happened in Texas on Tuesday. The rocket flew halfway around the world before it broke. It spun and broke apart over the Indian Ocean, but it flew further than before.
The FAA reported that no one was hurt. Also, there was no damage to public property, which is good. The booster also broke apart, but this was on purpose during testing.
The broken pieces of the rocket fell in safe areas. The FAA had already approved these areas before. Before SpaceX can launch another Starship, the investigation must happen.
Elon Musk wants to do more Starship test flights soon. He wants to send these rockets to Mars one day. NASA needs Starship to land astronauts on the moon soon too.
