SpaceX Starship explosion leads to FAA investigation and property damage reports in Turks and Caicos
SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded during a test flight, leading to an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Debris from the rocket has reportedly washed up on the shores of Turks and Caicos, prompting concerns about property damage. The FAA is requiring SpaceX to conduct a mishap investigation to determine the cause of the explosion. Starship's upcoming test flights are on hold until the investigation is complete, which may delay the rocket's development. While there were no injuries reported, the Turks and Caicos National Security Secretariat noted minimal property damage. Authorities have advised the public not to handle any debris and to report its location.
