SpaceX Starship Spins Out of Control in Ninth Test, Delaying Mars Mission

SpaceX’s Starship rocket, critical to Elon Musk’s vision of colonising Mars, spiralled out of control during its ninth test flight from Starbase, Texas, marking the third consecutive explosive failure. The 400-foot rocket, designed for lunar and Martian missions, lost contact 30 minutes into the suborbital flight, stalling progress for NASA’s 2027 moon landing plans.

Launched atop a reusable Super Heavy booster, Starship initially succeeded in reaching space, surpassing two previous tests in January and March 2025, which had resulted in explosions shortly after liftoff, scattering debris over the Caribbean. However, a fuel tank leak caused the upper stage to spin uncontrollably, and the booster ultimately crashed into the Gulf of Mexico instead of achieving a controlled splashdown.

SpaceX was unable to deploy eight mock Starlink satellites due to a malfunction in the dispenser. “Our on-orbit objectives aren’t looking great,” said SpaceX’s Dan Huot during the livestream.

Musk’s Response and NASA Implications

Musk, who postponed a planned Starbase speech on multiplanetary life, posted on X (@elonmusk) about a successful engine shutdown in space, claiming, “Next three flights will launch every 3–4 weeks.” Despite his optimism, the failure highlights engineering challenges for Starship, which NASA relies on for its Artemis III lunar mission, which is now at risk of delay, per CNN. The rocket’s heat shield tiles and re-entry flaps, untested due to the crash, remain critical hurdles.

Aerospace analyst Dr. Laura Chen from MIT notes, “SpaceX’s risk-tolerant approach drives innovation but struggles with Starship’s complexity. Repeated failures could strain NASA’s timeline.” X posts (@SpaceflightNow, @NASASpaceflight) reflect concern over delays, though some praise SpaceX’s rapid testing pace.

The Federal Aviation Administration has approved the launch after a two-month grounding and is currently investigating. Starship’s role in replacing Falcon 9 and enabling Mars colonisation is facing setbacks, but SpaceX’s iterative strategy continues to move forward.
