FAA Records Reveal Risks from Starship Explosion
The rocket, launched from SpaceX’s Texas facility on January 16, malfunctioned mid-flight and disintegrated, scattering flaming debris across the sky. At the time, SpaceX founder Elon Musk remarked that “success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!”
In its Saturday report, the media outlet cited FAA records noting that “the explosion rained fiery debris across parts of the Caribbean region for roughly 50 minutes,” and warned that a strike on an aircraft could have led to catastrophic damage or even loss of life.
SpaceX dismissed the coverage as “misleading,” claiming journalists were “clearly spoon-fed incomplete and misleading information from detractors with ulterior motives.” In a post on X, the company emphasized that public safety remains its highest priority.
