Starship's ninth test flight marked the first time reusing a super-heavy booster, part of its powerful rocket system. The unsuccessful test mission saw the spacecraft tumble out of control and break apart over the Indian Ocean. The booster was also lost after it exploded over the Gulf of Mexico. The FAA says the rocket is grounded until SpaceX determines the cause of the failure.
