Starship Flight 12

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered SpaceX to investigate a Starship booster mishap during a test flight, which resulted in the vehicle losing control and crashing into the Gulf of Mexico. The incident occurred during Starship Flight 12, prompting the FAA to classify the launch as a 'mishap'.

SpaceX scrubbed its first Starship Flight 12 launch at the last minute, disappointing attendees including rapper Nicki Minaj who was present for the event. The Starship V3 megarocket failed to launch as scheduled, marking another delay in SpaceX's ambitious rocket testing program.

SpaceX is preparing to launch Starship Flight 12, which includes a Starship V3 test. The launch will feature a Starship ship and Super Heavy booster. A new launch date has been set for the test.
