SpaceX finally flew its Starship mega-rocket to space for the first time, but it couldn't have done so without some crucial upgrades.

Francisco Cabada's skull was fractured and he remains in a coma after the January 2022 incident at SpaceX's Hawthorne facility, Reuters reported.

Starship could take humans to the moon and Mars in the next decade, Elon Musk says. Here's everything to know ahead of its second crucial launch.

Jeff Baumgardner, a physicist from Boston University, discussed the possibility of ionospheric holes occurring with Spaceweather.com

Severe weather at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida forced the Falcon Heavy launch attempt to be scrubbed on Thursday.

From Starship's explosion mid-flight to a destroyed launchpad and FAA safety questions, SpaceX's prized rocket has caused itself a lot of problems.

Starship made its first attempt at space and burst into a fireball on the way. Elon Musk tweeted shortly after the explosion.

Ex-SpaceX employee Laura Crabtree worked under Elon Musk for 11 years, training crew for space. She tested out the trainings for herself, she said.

Elon Musk said the launchpad could be destroyed if the Starship rocket fireballed on it, and SpaceX would have to spend several months rebuilding it.

SpaceX plans to launch its flagship megarocket, Starship, for the first time in April, taking NASA closer to putting humans on the moon again.

Richard Branson's Virgin Orbit filed for bankruptcy protection after laying off staff, not securing enough funding, and a failed UK rocket launch.

Relativity Space's Terran 1 reached its primary objective successfully but didn't reach orbit. The company's grand ambition is to reach Mars by 2024.

Elon Musk said 31 out of 33 engines on SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket booster fired up, but it was still enough to take Starship to orbit. Take a look.

Melissa Thorpe, head of Spaceport Cornwall, said she didn't look like the average spaceport director and has faced several challenges.

From the ISS, you can see many fires between the dark patches of rainforests and the light green areas of agriculture, Astronaut Matthias Maurer said.

Even though Virgin Orbit's rocket failed to reach orbit, residents believe the focus on Cornwall has been positive and could prevent a brain drain.

Richard Branson was said to be watching the Virgin Orbit launch from his private island, Necker, while 2,500 people gathered at Spaceport Cornwall.

The UK's historical space mission was going smoothly, until Virgin Orbit announced the rocket had suffered an "anomaly" and wasn't able to reach orbit.

Virgin Orbit crew will proceed cautiously around the launch in case winds or lightning set in, its CEO Dan Hart said.
