It’s considered the workhorse of space – but now the Falcon 9 rocket has been grounded by US regulators.
The entire fleet has been grounded after a booster exploded on touchdown.

Telstra, x and this. What a failure.
Calm down with the clickbait headline drama queens!
Just a simple latch failed to lock one of the landing legs in place causing the rocket to just simply fall over after a 100% successful landing!
Probably was worn out from all the landings over the years of re-use! 🤣😂
Not that any other companies have this issue as their rockets don't have landing legs as they still can't achieve a successful landing and their for their rockets are way more expensive and cannot be reused!
Also I very much call lies on the grounding of the Falcon 9 fleet over such a small issue that is completely unrelated to payload / cargo safety!
Regulatory over reach! 0:54
Friz caput
Poor Elon, he told NASA that Starship would do an unmanned moon landing in 2023 and now his only successful rocket is grounded. Space flight is really difficult, maybe not as hard as live streaming a Trump interview on Twitter, but I'm sure one day this genius will figure it out.
Acting like this has never happened before is weird
Far out the media is full of it … seriously lets ground all the cars because one malfunctioned. All other boosters crash land by design and they keep flying ….
And they don't ground NASA for the thousands of space debris landed in the ocean, okay…
