US: SpaceX Launches Starship on Ninth Test Mission From Texas 3

Elon Musk’s Starship rocket launched for its 9th test flight from Texas on Tuesday, May 27, but lost control mid-flight due to a leak, making a safe landing unlikely, according to SpaceX. The Super Heavy booster carried Starship toward space, where it flew for under an hour before issues arose. A payload door also failed to open, preventing the release of dummy satellites. The flight followed previous high-altitude failures earlier this year.
