Air safety regulators have temporarily halted the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches while they investigate a failed landing on Wednesday. The Falcon 9, on its 23rd flight, was carrying Starlink satellites.
The booster, which landed on an Atlantic ship, tipped over post-touchdown, marking a rare glitch for SpaceX’s reusable rocket.
The incident affects the already delayed Polaris Dawn mission, which aims to achieve the world’s first commercial spacewalk.
