SpaceX given federal approval to resume Starship megarocket test launch after spectacular explosion

Since 2023, SpaceX has conducted eight Starships tests with half ending in significant failures. Two recent test launches have ended in explosions with debris raining down over the Atlantic and Caribbean. Due to the potential danger of airborne debris hundreds of commercial aircraft were either delayed or diverted to avoid the risk of collision.
