SpaceX launched its Starship mega market once again from Texas, but the spacecraft went out of control and broke apart during the mid-mission. The attempt marks the ninth test flight of the 403-foot rocket, which is designed for future Mars and Moon missions. Although this version was equipped with reused components and upgrades, it failed to achieve the main objectives because of fuel issues and a malfunctioned satellite bay door. Despite the setback, CEO Elon Musk termed it a “big achievement” and aims to launch new flights every week as the development continues for NASA’s upcoming lunar missions.
