This is the best summary I could come up with:
The recent second test flight of the SpaceX Starship/Super Heavy rocket was a perfect example of Elon Musk’s philosophy of technology development.
The Starship’s second stage failed to separate from the Super Heavy, sending the whole stack tumbling in the skies over the Gulf of Mexico until ground controllers sent a self-destruct signal to destroy it.
As SpaceX engineers pour over the data from the second test and devise further fixes, the FAA has opened its own investigation as is standard practice.
The statement suggests that SpaceX engineers have an understanding of what went wrong that caused the Super Heavy and the Starship to explode and what needs to happen to fix the problems.
The first people to walk on the moon will include the first woman, the first person of color and, possibly, the first British citizen in keeping with NASA’s policy of making Artemis an international program.
He is published in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, The Hill, USA Today, the LA Times, and the Washington Post, among other venues.
The original article contains 799 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This sumarry is erroneously mixing up events from the first and second flight test.
