Musk's Starship explodes in space, disrupts flights
Gulf Today
|March 08, 2025
Elon Musk’s SpaceX once again lost the upper stage of its massive Starship rocket in a fiery explosion, even as the booster was successfully caught in its orbital test - a near replay of the previous attempt.

The fallout immediately impacted US airspace.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly activated a "debris response area," delaying flights from airports stretching from Newark and Philadelphia to Miami.
The agency confirmed SpaceX will be required to conduct an investigation before it can fly again.
Minutes after liftoff and booster separation, a live video feed showed the upper stage tumbling uncontrollably before the signal abruptly cut.
Dramatic footage circulating online showed red-hot debris raining down over the Bahamas.
