Starship

Musk explained it exploded after a 40-second delay.

Federal agencies say debris from the blown-up spacecraft spread across hundreds of acres.

The rocket failed to separate from its booster.

A successful launch is crucial for planned Moon missions.

The rocket could fly as early as Monday morning.

The company is waiting on regulatory approval for the rocket's first orbital test flight.

The Astrolab FLEX can transport cargo, equipment and people.

The landmark test still brings Starship closer to its first orbital flight.

The company first filed paperwork for the flight in 2021.

“Today’s test will help verify a full launch countdown sequence," SpaceX said.

The Artemis missions will spend the rest of the decade setting up humanity's first extraterrestrial outpost.

The Starship's first orbital test flight has been delayed many times in the past.

Dennis Tito plans to visit space — eventually.

It's one step closer to Starship's first orbital flight test.

It could push back SpaceX's plans for the Starship's first orbital test flight.

If the spacecraft explodes on the pad again, it could impact critical ISS infrastructure.

It reportedly didn't submit the environmental information requested by the Army Corps of Engineers.

It now hopes to complete the assessment by April 29th.

That's assuming there isn't yet another delay.

The assessment won't be completed until March 28th.
