SpaceX's Starship exploded after losing control

SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded shortly after launching from Boca Chica, Texas, at 6:30 p.m. ET. The Super Heavy booster landed successfully, but the upper stage lost control and contact before the explosion. Videos from the Bahamas and south Florida captured debris lighting up the night sky. This incident marks SpaceX's second failure of the Starship program in 2025, following a similar explosion in January. The Federal Aviation Administration issued ground stops at Florida airports due to the falling debris. This setback affects SpaceX's plans for satellite deployment and human missions to the Moon and Mars.
