On Thursday, SpaceX's Starship spacecraft experienced a catastrophic failure shortly after liftoff from Boca Chica, Texas. Approximately eight minutes into the flight, the vehicle suffered a series of engine shutdowns, leading to a loss of control and subsequent explosion over the Turks and Caicos Islands. Debris from the incident was reported across parts of the Caribbean, including Puerto Rico and the British Virgin Islands, prompting temporary airspace closures in the region. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated a mishap investigation, grounding the Starship program until further notice. Preliminary assessments by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk suggest that a propellant leak in the engine section may have been the cause of the failure.
