SpaceX pulled off its “chopsticks” catch of a Super Heavy rocket booster but lost the Starship spacecraft on Thursday during the vehicle’s seventh uncrewed test flight.

Debris from Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship explosion has spread debris across parts of Turks and Caicos, according to some residents. That's more than a thousand miles from its launch in Texas. NBC News' Marissa Parra reports.

SpaceX is set to launch 27 of its Starlink internet satellites Sunday (Jan. 19), just two days after a test flight of its Starship megarocket ended in an explosion.

SpaceX launched Starship on Thursday for a seventh test flight, after weather concerns pushed back an experiment that will feature the spacecraft’s first payload deployment test, and while it successfully caught the Super Heavy Booster, Starship lost connection and “experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly.”

The rocket company said the space vehicle came apart during its ascent. Videos posted to social media showed debris streaking through the sky.

The "rapid unscheduled disassembly" was likely caused by a propellant leak, Elon Musk said, and was captured on video by spectators on the ground.

Dramatic footage showing streaks of light zipping across the sky surfaced online following Elon Musk's Starship explosion over the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX's seventh Starship test flight will now launch no earlier than Thursday, Jan. 16, at 5 p.m. EST (2200 GMT).

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says his players proved him wrong with a late win at Brentford. Airspace over the Gulf of Mexico is closed, grounding commercial flights, after debris from the failed SpaceX Starship rocket launch fell from space.

SpaceX's extraordinary journey under Elon Musk showcases milestones in affordable space exploration, including Starship's successes despite setbacks.
