In a post on X, Elon Musk’s SpaceX seeks to clarify the role the company is playing in effort to modernize systems at the Federal Aviation Administration.

SpaceX said it has lost contact with its massive Starship rocket during its highly anticipated test launch on Thursday evening.

SpaceX has launched the eighth test flight of its Starship megarocket. The mission is designed to achieve objectives that weren’t met during a previous fiery flight.

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, Musk’s company, SpaceX, launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down and broke apart.
