After launching on Thursday, the Starship rocket caught the booster back at the pad but lost contact with the ascending spacecraft as engines went out. Officials for Elon Musk's company confirmed that the spacecraft was destroyed.

In a two-for-one moonshot, SpaceX launched a pair of lunar landers Wednesday for U.S. and Japanese companies looking to jumpstart business on Earth's dusty sidekick.

The mission to take four astronauts on a trip around the moon and back, previously targeting a launch at the end of 2025, has been delayed until at least April, 2026.

A NASA astronaut — who was not identified — was kept for observation for an unspecified medical issue after landing Friday.

Three NASA astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut splashed down off the Florida coast early Friday, capping a nearly eight-month science and research mission to the International Space Station.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Tuesday it's proposing the civil penalties because of the company's alleged failure to follow licensing requirements.

It was the first time SpaceX aimed for a splashdown near the Dry Tortugas, a cluster of islands 70 miles west of Key West.

An internet entrepreneur and a SpaceX engineer have become the first private astronauts to walk in space.

New spacesuits, untested astronauts, and a lot that can go wrong make this five-day mission unusually complex, but with a potentially great reward.

The Federal Aviation Administration opened the investigation after a rocket booster toppled aboard a drone ship after it was returning from lofting SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites into space.

Three days after launch, the crew will attempt an ambitious and risky spacewalk -- the first for an all-civilian mission.

Since the astronauts arrived at the space station in June, Boeing and NASA have been investigating issues on the Starliner spacecraft, including helium leaks and faulty thrusters.
