SpaceX's Starship program encounters another hurdle as Flight 9's upper stage disintegrates during reentry, while its booster explodes over the Gulf of Mexico. The Federal Aviation Administration's investigation into the mishap has concluded, granting clearance for Flight 10—a mission now complicated by the explosion of its designated vehicle during static-fire testing.
The company's iterative 'build-fly-fix-repeat' approach continues to drive rapid iterations, with May's booster reflight demonstrating progress toward reusability. Yet the persistent loss of Ships in flight raises questions about operational timelines for NASA and commercial payloads. SpaceX has invested over $7.5 billion in the program according to Texas regulatory filings.
