The November test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket, although successful, ended in flames. Much was speculated on social media about the cause, but only now we finally know what actually happened.

We have a bunch of launches next week but you'll probably be more interested in the Starship launch that happened this weekend. SpaceX managed to pull off an impressive launch after a failure before.
We have three launches from SpaceX this week. There will be two Falcon 9 launches and a Falcon Heavy launch. Unfortunately, there are no Starship launches this week but check the recap video.
SpaceX has launched Starship with the Super Heavy booster for the first time. While it did perform an incredible launch, the mission failed when both parts of the rocket blew up at a 30 Km altitude.
We have a big week coming up as SpaceX will attempt to launch its Super Heavy rocket carrying Starship. Starship will do a lap of the Earth before splashing down in the sea just off Hawaii.
This week, Rocket Lab will reattempt to launch NASA's CAPSTONE mission and there's a slim possibility we could see the first launch of SpaceX's Super Heavy rocket carrying Starship.
The CEO responded to a fan on Twitter, saying that the company's offshore launchpad could be operational next year. It will be used as a launch platform for the Starship spacecraft.
SpaceX has successfully completed a soft landing of its Starship rocket which will take astronauts back to the Moon later in the decade. This is a major leap forward for the company.
It's a quiet week in terms of rocket launches this week. If we are lucky, we should see SpaceX launch its Starship SN15 from Boca Chica, Texas, as it attempts to perform its first smooth landing.
The week will see SpaceX take more astronauts to the ISS, a Helicopter fly on Mars, and possibly the first successful landing on SpaceX's Starship after it was selected for NASA's Artemis missions.
NASA has announced that it has awarded SpaceX a $2.89 billion contract to continue developing a human landing system ready for the 2024 Artemis 3 mission which will return Americans to the Moon.

SpaceX's Starship SN11 mission turned into a catastrophe today as the firm attempted to launch in low-visibility conditions. Despite the thick fog, debris could be seen falling after the mishap.
The next week will feature an interesting launch from Blue Origin, the firm owned by Amazon's Jeff Bezos. Astronauts will practice getting aboard the craft ready for a crewed mission in the future.
SpaceX is planning to launch its Starship SN11 sometime this week. The firm still hasn't performed a perfect landing of the craft but it has been improving its technique after each test.
In the upcoming week, we have several rocket launches due. The most interesting will be the maiden flight of Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket which is launching from Vandenberg AFB.
Elon Musk indicates that the SN10 engines lacked thrust. The rocket landed at 10 m/s, damaging some parts. It also used "Helium in header" to atone for SN8's explosion, but that was also problematic.
SpaceX has finally managed to land a Starship rocket, however, several minutes after, the vehicle exploded due to a fire which managed to reach the propellant which subsequently ignited.
There are three rocket launches expected this week. Rocket Lab is launching several satellites, Iran is re-attempting to launch its Pars 1 satellite, and SpaceX will try to land Starship SN10.
After several scrubbed launch attempts, SpaceX finally got its Starship SN9 off the ground today thanks to good visibility and wind conditions. Unfortunately, like SN8, the rocket failed to land.
Starship SN8 executed an almost perfect high-altitude flight test before plummeting towards the earth at a velocity greater than the intended threshold. SpaceX and Musk extolled the test as a success.
In a job listing for a Resort Development Manager by SpaceX, the company states that its launch site in Boca Chica Village will be a 21st-century spaceport and the company's first resort.
For its second cryogenic pressure test to failure, the SN7 prototype for Starship was taken beyond its limit. The fuel tank 'popped' and was soon engulfed in white, thick plumes of nitrogen.
Elon Musk confirmed that the floating spaceports would be refurbished oil platforms complete with a hyperloop for transportation to and from dry land. They will be intended for the Starship rocket.
In a company-wide email, Musk urged SpaceX employees to shift gears, invest significant time, and focus primarily on the Starship initiative henceforth to dramatically accelerate its progress.
Shortly after completing the static fire test of the Raptor engine, the SN4 prototype for the Starship rocket exploded on the test stand. An uncontrolled leak seems to be the culprit.
The Users Guide describes the crewed and uncrewed payload configurations, information on Acoustics, and the various Environments of the Starship rocket. No pricing details are given, however.
