Starship engine failure may affect NASA's lunar program

SpaceX's new generation spacecraft "Starship" experienced an engine failure during its 14th unmanned test flight, which may impact NASA's timeline for crewed lunar landing missions. Starship is one of the two spacecraft selected by NASA for its bid, with plans to carry out crewed lunar missions in 2028.

Although multiple objectives were achieved during the test mission launched in Texas, a propulsion system failure led to an early termination of the mission.
