Debris from the rocket's upper stage may have caused property damage, prompting an investigation into Starship's "rapid unscheduled disassembly."

SpaceX launched 21 of its Starlink internet satellites early Jan. 21, five days after a test flight of the company's Starship megarocket ended in an explosion.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has suspended SpaceX rocket flights following the explosion of the upper stage of the Starship/Super Heavy. An investigation is necessary due to the space debris that fell to Earth after the explosion.

President Donald Trump's new administration is likely to do away with the White House's National Space Council, a cabinet policy panel that lobbyists at Elon Musk's SpaceX have been pushing to axe, according to three people familiar with the plans.

Donald Trump is planning to scrap the White House’s National Space Council following pressure from an Elon Musk lobbyist, according to reports.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX could threaten the US Space Council’s longevity under the new Trump administration. Lobbyers and Trump's aids have reportedly been pushing to axe the group as they see it as a waste of time.
