SpaceX's Starship rockets are grounded pending investigation after test flight

SpaceX's Starship program has temporarily halted all flight tests following an investigation into the rocket's recent orbital test flight. The company is currently reviewing data from the flight, which experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" shortly after launch. This incident marks a setback for the ambitious Starship project, which aims to be a fully reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle.

The grounding of Starship flights is significant as the vehicle is central to SpaceX's future ambitions, including lunar missions and Mars colonization.
