alone in a van for hours. Stage one landing leg deploy is now grounded after this failed landing. The FAA is now investigating what caused this Falcon nine booster to explode overnight. It was landing on a drone ship after a Starlink launch when it burst into flames. This is actually the second time in just the past month that the FAA has grounded SpaceX. And as Fox 30 Five's Esther Bauer explains, this means the upcoming crewed missions could be delayed. Space X is grounded for the second time in just a matter of months by the FAA. A rocket booster trying to land back here off the coast of Cape Canaveral ended in a fiery explosion. Now, upcoming crewed missions could be in jeopardy. A fiery fallout for space X when a Falcon nine booster bursts into flames and falls over while landing on a barge and was destroyed. Destruction isn't common for the SpaceX giant. SpaceX had successfully used this booster 23 times and had done nearly 260 booster recoveries since 2021. Maybe we can say it's just an unfortunate incident, but yeah, you're right. When you have people that are working on so many missions at once, you can have checklists and things that maybe are not completely completed as they should be. SpaceX is swamped with missions right now. Just overnight, they were trying to launch a historic crewed mission and two Starlink missions in a matter of hours. The Polaris Dawn mission was canceled because of weather safety concerns, and the second Starlink launch never happened because of the explosion. Three launches like too much to do in one night. To me, it's too much to do, especially when you have a human launch. Human launches are now in limbo. It may delay things a little bit. The FAA grounding the private Polaris mission and NASA's crew nine launch could all be pushed back. Both used SpaceX rockets to lift off. Right now, no new launch date has been set for the Polaris Dawn. Crew nine is set to lift off next month. Maybe. The FAA says a return to flight of the Falcon nine booster rocket is based on the FAA determining that any system, process, or procedure related to the anomaly does not affect public safety. I think NASA relies too much on SpaceX setbacks for SpaceX to impact the entire industry, because no one is launching as much as they do. Experts say more diversity in launch providers is needed now more than ever. If one goes down and has an issue, then the other one will still be good. And this booster explosion comes at a time when SpaceX is trying to figure out how often they can reuse rocket boosters. Experts tell me the company is trying to get that number up to 40. But this booster failed
