"SpaceX's Starship Launch: Review, Failure, and Grounding"

Elon Musk reviewed the debut launch of the Starship rocket and said that the vehicle's flight slightly exceeded his expectations and that damage to the launch site was not all that extensive. He expects Starship to fly again in as few as two or three months. Musk spoke for about an hour during a Twitter spaces event, responding to questions from several journalists and spaceflight enthusiasts. The rocket's flight termination system was initiated to break up the vehicle before it veered too far off course, but there was about a 40-second delay in the initiation of the system and the rocket breaking apart.
