The seventh test flight of SpaceX’s Starship ended with a successful landing of the rocket’s first stage but also the loss of the Starship vehicle

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and officials from the Turks and Caicos Islands have launched probes into SpaceX's explosive Starship rocket test that sent debris streaking over the northern Caribbean and forced airlines to divert dozens of flights.

SpaceX launched its Starship mega-rocket for the seventh time. It achieve an epic booster catch but the ship was lost.

Government officials in Turks and Caicos said Friday that debris from a SpaceX rocket test that went awry fell over the Caribbean islands but that there have been no reported injuries so far and only minimal damages to property.

The incident in which a SpaceX rocket broke up after launch demonstrates the challenges the FAA will face as the number of commercial space flights increases.

US space technology company SpaceX said on Thursday that its Starship space vehicle broke up during a flight meant to test its capabilities. The rocket system's upper stage appeared to have disintegrated somewhere over the Gulf of Mexico or possibly the Caribbean Sea, reports said.

Airplanes were temporarily diverted from any potential falling debris after the vessel broke up.

Tech magnate and DOGE Co-chairman Elon Musk reportedly plans to buy the Washington, D.C.-based Line hotel to turn it into a "private social club."

The FAA is requiring an investigation after a SpaceX Starship rocket exploded yesterday eight and a half minutes into the company’s seventh flight test of the upgraded vehicle.
