SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket fails: Starlink satellites will burn up.
Reading
A SpaceX rocket carrying internet satellites failed shortly after launch. This is the first time in almost ten years that a SpaceX rocket has failed.
The rocket's upper stage engine had a problem, causing the satellites to be in a very low orbit. SpaceX said the problem was a leak of liquid oxygen fuel.
The satellites are now too low and will fall back to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere. SpaceX tried to save them but did not have enough power to raise their orbit.
The Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees rocket launches, is investigating the failure. SpaceX must fix the problem before they are allowed to launch any more rockets.
It is unclear if this will affect SpaceX's plans to launch people into space soon. SpaceX's CEO, Elon Musk, said they will find and fix the problem quickly.
