The FAA suspended flights at several Florida airports following the explosion of SpaceX's Starship during its eighth test flight. After launching from Brownsville, Texas, the rocket disintegrated around eight minutes into the flight, leading to flight halts in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, and Orlando due to potential hazards from falling debris. The incident has sparked scrutiny over SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's ties to the White House, including the implications of his federal contracts amid ongoing budget cuts affecting agencies like the FAA.
