The seventh test of SpaceX's huge Starship rocket was nothing short of exhilarating, with a fiery explosion and a successful booster catch.

SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy launch in 2018 caused 4,645 minutes, or more than 77 hours, of commercial flight delays.

Blue Origin, the rocket company founded by Jeff Bezos in 2000, waved off an attempt to launch its first orbital rocket. Blue Origin said engineers worked to troubleshoot an issue with the rocket but could not resolve the problem in time.

Elon Musk's Space X has launched a rocket carrying two lunar landers, which took off into space this morning (15 January). Blue Ghost and Resilience, built by private companies in the US and Japan, left Earth aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA ’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1:11 a.m. ET (6:11 GMT).

SpaceX successfully launched two spacecraft, Blue Ghost and Resilience landers, on a mission to the Moon from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The mission aims to advance lunar exploration with experiments on subsurface drilling,

Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin could revolutionize the space industry with its New Glenn rocket. Here's how it stacks up against SpaceX's Falcon 9.

In recent years, Space X has been a clear winner in space tech, even managing to catch a booster for the most powerful rocket ever built on a pair of ‘chopsticks’ last year, and stepping in to rescue two astronauts still stranded in space after the Boeing Starliner which carried them there was deemed not safe enough to take them home.

Firefly's Blue Ghost lander, originally scheduled to lift off in late 2024, is on its maiden voyage. The uncrewed spacecraft is expected to travel for 45 days before trying to touch down in early March. Its flight is the first NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services mission of the year .

Despite the spectacular failure, Elon Musk appeared to see the bright side, posting: "Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!"

Disruption from increasing rocket launches is becoming a growing issue for commercial airlines

Standing over 320 feet tall, it dwarfs the SpaceX's 230-foot Falcon 9 rocket, featuring a 23-foot diameter payload fairing designed to handle massive payloads — twice the volume of typical commercial rockets in its class.
