View of March 6, 2025, failure from Jamaica changing the flight path of many passenger jets.
“Although the vehicle’s first stage performed nominally during test flights in January and March, returning safely to its launch site, the Starship upper stage exploded spectacularly in flight twice. On both occasions, a fire developed in the engine section of Starship, and the vehicle rained fiery debris trails over the Bahamas and other nearby islands. Air traffic controllers diverted or delayed dozens of commercial airline flights flying through the debris footprint.” [ARS Technica, Eric Berger, Senior Space Editor, March 10, 2025]
