During last week’s launch, the Super Heavy rocket boosters successfully separated from the spacecraft before falling into the ocean. Then, SpaceX lost control of Starship midflight, and the company does not know exactly where it ended up. Since then, residents near Matamoros, Mexico, say millions of pieces, big and small, have been washing up on shore.
