SpaceX’s giant Starship rocket, which exploded after launch, has now come under the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (Faa) scanner for reportedly spreading plumes of potentially hazardous debris endangering human lives as well as habitats of animals.
On April 20, the first flight test of SpaceX’s fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket, built to take humanity to the Moon, Mars and beyond, lifted off successfully.
Shortly after, it exploded and failed to reach orbit. However, the blast meant the test flight was successful, according to the company.
“The Faa will oversee the mishap investigation of the Starship/Super Heavy test mission,” the regulator said in a statement.
“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,” it said, adding that this is standard practice for all mishap investigations.
