SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down

The SpaceX's countdown got down to the 40-second mark, but it was halted because of issues with the 403-foot (123-metre) rocket, the world's largest and most powerful

Williams and Wilmore have been stuck in space since June last year due to technical problems with Boeing's Starliner which took them to ISS

The spacecraft — a new and upgraded model making its debut — was supposed to soar across the Gulf of Mexico from Texas on a near loop around the world similar to previous test flights

The two landers rocketed away in the middle of the night from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center

The astronauts just got an extended stay in space—again! Their homecoming is now postponed until spring, marking 10 months of orbiting the Earth aboard Boeing's Starliner capsule

Training includes familiarisation sessions with the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and various onboard systems of the International Space Station

GSAT-N2 High-throughput satellite onboard a Falcon 9 rocket has been injected into the desired orbit, says New Space India Limited

Soaring nearly 400 feet (121 meters), the empty Starship launched at sunrise from the southern tip of Texas, near the Mexican border. It arced over the Gulf of Mexico, similar to the four previous Starships that were destroyed shortly after liftoff or while landing in the sea. The last launch in June was the most successful to date, completing its flight without exploding.

The Europa Clipper mission was scheduled to launch on October 10 from NASA Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida, aboard SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket, to conduct an in-depth investigation of Jupiter's icy moon Europa. However, with Hurricane Milton approaching the storm-battered Gulf Coast, a state of emergency has been declared in parts of Florida, causing a delay in the mission.

Empathy, morality and ethical education are crucial to avoid repeating humanity’s darkest chapters

The NASA-SpaceX mission successfully reached orbit after launching from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This mission is notable as it marks the first human spaceflight to take off from Space Launch Complex-40. "The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is en route to the International Space Station (ISS), with the new crew expected to arrive at the orbiting lab on Sunday, September 29, for a five-month science mission," NASA announced on X.

Isaacman became 264th person to perform a spacewalk since the former Soviet Union scored the first in 1965

Both the astronauts, including Butch Wilmore, emphasised the significance of fulfilling their civic duty despite being in orbit

Unlike his previous chartered flight, tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman shared the cost with SpaceX this time around, which included developing and testing brand new spacesuits to see how they'll hold up in the harsh vacuum.

Starship, the world's most powerful rocket, is set to send humans to the Moon and eventually Mars. On X, the tech billionaire announced, “The first Starships to Mars will launch in two years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens.”

NASA says it's too risky to bring them back in Boeing's troubled new capsule, and they'll have to wait until February for a ride home with SpaceX

As Boeing works to resolve Starliner’s issues and bring Wilmore and Williams home safely, the dark side of space capitalism is coming to light

NASA to take a call on Saturday on the new capsule to bring two astronauts from the ISS, where they've been waiting since June

The astronauts left for the orbiting laboratory on June 6 aboard the Boeing Starliner after lifting off on June 5 from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida in the US
