The failed launch of SpaceX's Starship rocket from Boca Chica in South Texas last week didn't just explode the world's largest rocket. It caused more environmental damage than expected.

The monster-sized, stainless steel, uncrewed spacecraft cleared the launch tower but failed to separate from its booster, spinning in the air before succumbing to a blast of flames.

NPR's official Twitter feeds have gone silent. The news organization cites the social media platform's decision to question NPR's editorial independence through a series of inaccurate labels.

Musk said the factory is operating at a huge loss after Shanghai, home to one of Tesla's largest battery producers, instituted a near-total lockdown in the spring.

Musk says he will review and directly approve any requests for employees who wish to be exempt from the company's return-to-work policy, according to leaked emails reported by Electrek.

SpaceX plans to launch rockets near Brownsville, Texas, and send the first person to Mars from there. Seven years after breaking ground, residents say the only thing skyrocketing is housing prices.
