2024 Falcon 9 fails to land booster after Starlink launch, ending SpaceX's 267-successful landing streak.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched 21 Starlink satellites but failed to land the first-stage booster on a droneship, marking an end to the company's 267-successful landing streak. The rocket's first stage returned to Earth after the mission, attempting to land on a droneship in the ocean but tipping over after touching down. The incident, which occurred on August 28, 2024, led to the postponement of a similar Starlink mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. SpaceX is currently assessing the booster's flight data and status.
