SpaceX may have lost its Starship spacecraft after it separated from the Super Heavy rocket booster, which exploded midflight after liftoff from its South Texas launchpad.
SpaceX’s Starship rocket system reached several milestones in its second test flight before the rocket booster and spacecraft exploded over the Gulf of Mexico.
I don’t believe that’s true, some of the debris more than likely made it back to the ground over the ocean. There are weather radars that picked up the debris and they don’t scan super high up into the atmosphere.
It blew up about 3000 km/hr short of orbit, so thankfully all of it has burned up in Earth’s atmosphere already :)

You’re right, that’s my bad. I just meant to say the debris hasn’t gone into orbit.
