Jan 16, 2025, 11:14 PM
SpaceX's Starship Flight 7, launched from Starbase in Southern Texas at 4:37pm CST, has failed during its re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. The spacecraft, identified as Starship 33, broke apart, with debris observed re-entering over the Turks and Caicos Islands, creating a spectacle reminiscent of a meteor shower. This event marks another step in the development of the Starship, despite the failure, as it achieved new distance milestones before the incident.
