Florida flights disturbed after the spaceship explodes

The Starship 8 test vehicle from SpaceX blew over the Caribbean on Thursday and carried out the flights to airports in South Florida, which FAA described as the “falling space debris”. The explosion occurred about 20 seconds before the engines were to be closed in SouthXas in Southxas after a successful start in the SouthXas starting device. It happened in the area in which the Starship 7 was lost in mid -January. This mistake led to widespread disorders of air traffic in the Caribbean.

“Before the end of the promotion burning, an energetic event in the AFT part of the spaceship led to the loss of several raptor engines,” says a SpaceX explanation. “This in turn led to a loss of setting control and ultimately to a loss of communication with spaceships. The final contact with a spaceship came about 9 minutes and 30 seconds after the withdrawal. “

“All surviving debris would have fallen into the pre -planned rubble reaction area,” the explanation said. “There are no toxic materials in the rubble, and no significant effects on the sea species or water quality are expected. If you believe that you have identified a piece of debris, please contact your local authorities or the SpaceX debris hotline at 1-866-623-0234 or at recovery@space.com. “
