SpaceX Rocket Explodes, Raining Debris From Sky for Second Time in a Row
A SpaceX rocket exploded shortly after it was launched from Texas on Thursday, grounding flights and triggering warnings about falling spaceship debris.

No injuries or damage have been reported but images from those in Caribbean Sea island nations show fiery debris raining from the sky.
- The repeated failures of the SpaceX Starship raise questions about the company's ability to deliver on its ambitious plans for interplanetary travel and colonization.
- How will the success or failure of the Starship program impact the development of reusable rockets and the future of space exploration?
