Dramatic footage showing streaks of light zipping across the sky surfaced online following Elon Musk's Starship explosion over the Atlantic Ocean.

While the Starship is lost, the mission's first-stage booster successfully returned to the launch tower, where it was caught by the tower's robotic arms.

SpaceX plans to build a new vertical integration facility in Florida by Aug. 2026 for Starship assembly and integration.

Elon Musk's space exploration business, SpaceX, got a lot of headlines late last year when it was valued at $350 billion -- a gain of more than $100 billion from its previous valuation, according
