SpaceX Launch Mishap Under Federal Investigation.
TL;DR
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has grounded SpaceX's Starship following the rocket's explosive first launch, which spread plumes of potentially hazardous debris over homes and the habitats of endangered animals. The FAA has stopped SpaceX from conducting any further launches until it has concluded a "mishap investigation" into Starship's April 20 test launch. SpaceX's launchpad was also left with extensive damage that includes charred, twisted metal and shattered concrete.
