Not A Good Week For Rockets | This Week In Spaceflight

This week in spaceflight, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 booster fails to land successfully after a long streak of successful recoveries, ending in a dramatic explosion. We dive into what happened, the implications for upcoming missions, and whether the FAA will ground Falcon 9. Plus, NASA has finally set a return date for Starliner, but with a twist—Butch and Suni won’t be returning on Starliner but on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon instead. We also cover the latest news on NASA’s Europa Clipper, which is back on track after resolving concerns about radiation issues, and much more, including updates on the Peregrine, KAIROS, and ABL anomalies. Join us for a comprehensive recap of all the major spaceflight stories this week!
