Summary
SpaceX launched its seventh test flight of the Starship rocket, but lost communication with the upper stage of the rocket. Debris from the rocket fell into the Atlantic Ocean, causing the FAA to issue warnings to pilots. The rocket was set to reach space and then travel halfway around Earth before reentering the atmosphere. SpaceX aims to use the Starship for future space missions and NASA's plan to return astronauts to the moon.
