The explosion of a huge SpaceX rocket above South Florida led to massive headaches for air travelers who were forced to endure unexpected delays due to the company's latest mishap on Thursday.

Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, 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.

SpaceX’s latest Starship test flight ended in a fiery explosion shortly after launch, scattering debris over Florida and marking another setback in the company’s ambitious plans for deep-space exploration.
