SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft broke apart mid-flight during its test launch, forcing airlines to reroute flights to avoid falling debris. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) briefly restricted airspace, with at least 20 flights altering their routes. Elon Musk attributed the failure to an oxygen or fuel leak near the ship engine firewall and announced plans for fire suppression upgrades. Despite the setback, Musk assured the next launch remains on schedule for next month. The incident marks the seventh test of the Starship, which aims to carry humans and cargo to Mars. Musk quipped, “Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed.”
