March 7, 2025 – SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded midflight during its eighth test mission, marking the second consecutive failure this year. The uncrewed vehicle lifted off from Starbase, Texas, but lost contact less than 10 minutes into flight after multiple engine failures. The explosion was visible over Florida and the Caribbean, prompting the FAA to halt flights at major airports, including Miami and Orlando. SpaceX stated that debris fell within designated areas, ensuring no toxic contamination. The FAA has launched an investigation, delaying future flights until corrective measures are approved. Elon Musk’s ambitious Mars-bound program faces another major setback.
