💨 Abstract

SpaceX launched its Starship rocket for the eighth test, successfully catching the Super Heavy booster, but the Starship disintegrated less than ten minutes into the flight. The incident occurred due to several engines stopping and the vehicle losing altitude control. Elon Musk's company will review the data to understand the root cause and improve Starship's reliability. The disintegration caused temporary airport groundings in Florida and debris was seen over the Atlantic Ocean.
