SpaceX's Starship spacecraft exploded Thursday during a flight test, raining fiery debris across the Florida sky.

It was the second explosion this year for the massive, 400-foot spacecraft.

Debris concerns caused the FAA to issue ground stops, delaying flights at Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach airports.

The SpaceX Starship's explosion was captured in photos and videos in Southwest Florida and across the Sunshine State.

Where did SpaceX debris land?

It's unclear where the SpaceX Starship debris landed.

"Any surviving debris would have fallen within the pre-planned Debris Response Area. There are no toxic materials present in the debris and no significant impacts expected to occur to marine species or water quality," SpaceX said in a statement.

"If you believe you have identified a piece of debris, please contact your local authorities or the SpaceX Debris Hotline at 1-866-623-0234 or at [email protected]," the statement continues.

What caused the SpaceX Starship to explode? What went wrong?

According to SpaceX, "Prior to the end of the ascent burn, an energetic event in the aft portion of Starship resulted in the loss of several Raptor engines. This in turn led to a loss of attitude control and ultimately a loss of communications with Starship. Final contact with Starship came approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds after liftoff."

"We will conduct a thorough investigation, in coordination with the FAA, and implement corrective actions to make improvements on future Starship flight tests."

Was anyone on the SpaceX Starship that exploded?

No. The Starship was unmanned, but it is being developed for future crewed missions to the moon and Mars.
