What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

During its 15th test flight from Starbase in southern Texas, an unspecified problem with the Super Heavy booster forced SpaceX to divert it to an offshore splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. This prevented a planned twin capture of the rocket's components. Despite the booster recovery failure, the Starship spacecraft successfully entered Earth's orbit, completing 14 orbits before its planned return.
