Starship Launch LIVE: SpaceX’s Giant Rocket Explodes Mid-Flight During Eighth Test, Booster Caught

Watch LIVE as SpaceX’s Starship rocket experiences a catastrophic failure during its eighth test flight. The 403-foot-tall vehicle launched from Starbase in Texas at 6:30 p.m. EST, with the Super Heavy booster successfully returning for a dramatic catch by the launch tower. However, the Starship upper stage lost multiple engines and began tumbling approximately 9 minutes into flight before exploding over the Caribbean. This marks the second consecutive failure for Starship, following a similar incident in January. The FAA has halted flights to several Florida airports and ordered a mishap investigation. Despite the setback, SpaceX remains committed to improving Starship’s reliability for future Mars missions and NASA’s Artemis program.
