Following jet explosions in January and March, the highly anticipated May 27 , test trip of SpaceX’s Starship aircraft ended with the company’s second vision loss in a row.
A big rocket boost recovered from a past test flight was used for SpaceX’s seventh test flight since 2023. Starship extended its launch beyond the past two exam flights, but ground control lost control of the spacecraft, which spun out of control, returned to earth’s atmosphere, and split up.
As if the flight check wasn’t exciting enough, SpaceX stated in an a , post on X, that” Starship experienced a rapid unplanned dismantling.” Our second journey check will be a work in progress as teams review the data. Success comes from what we learn, and tomorrow’s check may help us increase the reliability of the Starship as SpaceX tries to make life multiplanetary.
For its next build, SpaceX will need to submit documents to the Federal Aviation Administration to find out what went wrong and what it will do to protect public health. Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, stated that he anticipates faster certifications for upcoming airlines.
He  wrote on X, the social media platform he owns,” Start rhythm for the next three airlines will be faster, at about 1 every three three weeks.” Starship was launched from the Brownsville, Texas, Starbase spacecraft. Similar to previous check planes, it was streamed electronically.
