Nevertheless, the rocket lost contact with SpaceX engineers as it descended back to Earth. The last image of the broadcast, which showed the rocket’s heat shield flaring with friction, cut off abruptly.
Afterwards, SpaceX revealed that the ship failed not make it through the final part of the journey. It was predicted to land in the Indian Ocean with a splash.
The US (FAA) declared shortly after the accident that it would look into the unsuccessful re-entry. This step is customary whenever a space flight goes wrong.

Although Starship is only a prototype, its advancement is essential to NASA’s intended moon missions and Musk’s personal space travel goals.
NASA chief Bill Nelson referred to the event as “a successful test flight” on the social media platform X, which is owned by Elon Musk.
CNN — Launched on its third test flight from the Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, the SpaceX Starship rocket accomplished several milestones on Thursday morning before most certainly exploding.
An integrated flight test lasting almost an hour was conducted on the deep-space rocket system. At the end of the mission, the massive spaceship was supposed to splash down in the Indian Ocean, preparing it for future, more difficult test flights and, eventually, a mission to send NASA people to the moon.
However, the team lost contact with TDRSS, or the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, and Starlink, SpaceX’s internet service, at the same moment after descent.

SpaceX Rocket Reaching for orbital Velocities
According to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, one of the main objectives of these initial test flights is to propel Starship to orbital speeds or speeds fast enough for the spacecraft to establish a stable orbit around the planet.
Generally, it takes beyond 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) to accomplish such an accomplishment.
