SpaceX’s Starship rocket test flight fails

Business Business: SpaceX’s Starship rocket took off for space from Texas on Tuesday, but lost control mid-flight. This 400 feet long rocket system was part of SpaceX’s ninth test mission so far. Although the rocket was successful in reaching space orbit, it started rotating uncontrollably after 30 minutes.

The lower part of the rocket fell into the sea, while it was planned to land it in a controlled manner. Elon Musk later said on social media that control was lost due to a leak in the fuel tank. This failure of SpaceX seems to be making the path of NASA’s 2027 Moon mission and Musk’s rapidly growing Mars campaign difficult at the moment.
