SpaceX Starship Engine Failure May Delay NASA Moon Missions

During its 14th uncrewed test flight from Texas, SpaceX's Starship experienced a failure in one of its three main Raptor engines shortly after separating from its booster. This malfunction cut the mission short by several hours and could complicate NASA's plans to use Starship for astronaut missions to the moon as early as 2028. Starship aims to carry large payloads and safely return humans, a goal not achieved since 1972's Apollo missions.
