Elon Musk's SpaceX's Starship test flight ended in failure as the spacecraft exploded and broke apart, following a suspected fuel leak in the engine firewall.

Footage of the incident, captured by a family vacationing in the Turks and Caicos, showed the wreckage leaving behind what one of the onlookers called a “rainbow” of debris.

The SpaceX Starship suffered an explosion during a flight test from Texas, impacting nearby flights. Concurrently, a scientist in Belgium is developing a scent to solve cold cases. Meanwhile, archaeologists in Pompeii have unveiled an opulent bath complex.

The Federal Aviation Administration has paused SpaceX's the launch of its Starship rocket as the U.S. agency oversees an investigation by the private company of the breakup after a test launch Thursday.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Friday it will oversee an investigation by Elon Musk's SpaceX into an explosive Starship test flight the previous day that forced airlines to divert dozens of flights to avoid debris.

The incident in which a SpaceX rocket broke up after launch demonstrates the challenges the FAA will face as the number of commercial space flights increases.

The FAA is requiring SpaceX to investigate what caused its latest Starship launch to end in an explosion before it uses the spacecraft again.
