SUMMARY: SpaceX launched the Starship rocket, but both the booster and the spacecraft were lost in explosions minutes into the test flight. The rocket reached space before being destroyed, and the booster exploded earlier over the Gulf of Mexico, but its job was done. The demo lasted about eight minutes, and despite the failures, SpaceX obtained valuable data for future improvements. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident, and SpaceX cannot launch another Starship until corrections are made. NASA is depending on the Starship to land astronauts on the moon by 2025. Once proven, Elon Musk plans to use the rocket for various missions, including sending people to Mars.
