Elon Musk’s SpaceX faced a third failure with its Starship test flight on May 27, despite reaching orbit for the first time. The spacecraft lost control and broke apart during re-entry. While the mission outperformed previous attempts, key issues like payload door malfunction and loss of orientation remain. Experts warn more setbacks may follow but note progress. SpaceX views failure as a learning step and remains committed to its Mars and Moon goals. NASA plans to use Starship for its Artemis lunar mission.
