The Federal Aviation Administration did, too. The FAA halted flights, including at Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, after SpaceX confirmed that its Starship launch experienced a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” during its ascent. Translation: The rocket blew up.

The Federal Aviation Administration briefly ordered flights departing from airports in Miami, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach to stay grounded Thursday evening after a SpaceX Starship broke up following a test launch, marking the second SpaceX test flight in a row to encounter a mission-ending issue.

SpaceX's eighth flight test of its Starship spacecraft ended with a "rapid unscheduled disassembly," the company said. Contact with the ship was lost about nine minutes after the launch.
