SpaceX has been forced to ground its Starship rocket while it conducts an investigation into an incident during its most recent test flight.
"
""“A return to flight of the Starship Super Heavy vehicle is based on the FAA determining that any system, process, or procedure related to the mishap does not affect public safety.”""

"
Is the world’s most powerful rocket hitting a wall similar to the engineering limitations experienced decades ago by the Soviet N1?
"
"“High frequency and reliability launches of Starship – as a must for delivering big promises such as orbital data centres and moon and Mars landings – are still out of sight,” the commenter added."

Nachlese Starship IFT-12
"
".. SpaceX hat es geschafft, dass Triebwerksausfälle nicht mehr zur Explosion führen. Das war es aber auch schon. Es sind die neuen Raptor 3 nicht zuverlässiger als die Raptor 2 und damit schwebt über jedem Start ein Damoklesschwert. .."

It was the afternoon in the USA when SpaceX conducted a new flight test of its Super Heavy rocket and Starship prototypes, launched from its base in Boca Chica, Texas. This is the 12th test involving the entire system of Elon Musk's company, which is supposed to revolutionize space travel with an unprecedented transport capacity and being totally reusable.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

SpaceX successfully launched a revamped “version 3” Super Heavy‑Starship on May 22, 2026 from a new, reinforced pad at Starbase, Texas, testing more powerful Raptor engines, upgraded control systems, and numerous safety and reliability enhancements. Generating up to 18 million pounds of thrust—about twice that of NASA’s SLS—the 33‑engine Super Heavy first stage lifted the 407‑foot vehicle skyward, and after 2 minutes 24 seconds the Starship upper stage separated and ignited its six Raptor engines. Although the booster completed its boost‑back and splash‑down in the Gulf, engine trouble prevented it from reaching its intended target, and the Starship upper stage proceeded on a sub‑orbital trajectory, releasing 22 Starlink satellite simulators before preparing for a planned re‑entry and splash‑down in the Indian Ocean. The flight also featured tests of in‑space engine restart, thermal‑shield stress, and structural‑limit maneuvers, as well as onboard cameras transmitting imagery via the Starlink network. This milestone advances SpaceX’s goal of a fully reusable launch system for large satellite constellations, government payloads, and eventual crewed missions to the Moon—supporting NASA’s Artemis program—and sets the stage for future orbital refueling tests.
