SpaceX’s latest Starship test flight ended in a fiery explosion shortly after launch, scattering debris over Florida and marking another setback in the company’s ambitious plans for deep-space exploration.

Orlando International Airport officials announced they were briefly under a Federal Aviation Administration "ground stop" because of space launch debris.

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down and broke apart.
