This story was updated to add a video. A SpaceX Starship rocket broke up during a test flight of the megarocket's capabilities Thursday. Two extended "chopsticks" successfully caught the Super Heavy booster at its launch site — a crucial move for SpaceX as the company hopes to catch boosters, and eventually the rockets themselves, to be reused in future launches — for the second time in the Thursday afternoon test launch before the company lost signal with Starship. However, the rocket system's upper stage, which was packed with upgrades for the flight test, did not survive the launch and appeared to break apart over the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea. SpaceX confirmed on the live broadcast that the spacecraft's engines started to go out prior to planned engine cut-off and Starship later stopped delivering telemetry data. Shortly after, social media videos emerged showing what looks like debris from Starship falling from the sky. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted a video of the explosion, saying "Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!" Need a break?

Musk wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the Starship experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly," which is a phrase SpaceX has used to describe the unplanned destruction of a launch vehicle or an explosion. The Federal Aviation Administration is requiring SpaceX to perform a mishap investigation into the loss of the Starship rocket, the administration told the American-Statesman Friday morning. The FAA said there were no reports of injury, and the administration is working with SpaceX and authorities to confirm reports of public property damage in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The FAA activated a debris response area, allowing it to direct aircraft traffic to exit a designated area and prevent others from entering to avoid possible debris. According to the administration, several aircraft were diverted due to low fuel while holding outside impacted areas. Investigations like these can often lengthen the time between flight tests as officials try to determine what went wrong during Thursday's test. SpaceX has been hoping to increase the frequency of Starship flights. On Thursday Musk posted on X that "Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity." He said there's nothing to suggest delaying another flight test beyond next month.
