SpaceX loses control of Starship in space in testing failure

Elon Musk's SpaceX loses contact with its Starship rocket in space on March 6, 2025 during its eighth test mission, dooming a satellite deployment demonstration in the company's second consecutive Starship failure this year. The failure is another setback for SpaceX's whirlwind Starship development program. Musk, SpaceX's CEO, has pushed for swift advances in the rocket's development in 2025. But a failure in Starship's first attempt to launch since exploding in space in January puts a dent in Musk's development vision as he aims to build a rocket capable of sending bigger batches of satellites to space as well as humans to the moon and Mars.
