The FAA has grounded SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets following a booster failure, emphasizing safety and the necessity of investigating the root cause of the incident.
The grounded Falcon 9 was intended for the Polaris Dawn mission, which would conduct the first commercial spacewalk, already delayed by previous technical issues.
During the recent launch, the Falcon 9 appeared to operate normally until an uncontrolled fire erupted as the booster attempted to land on a drone ship.
The FAA's investigation aims to enhance public safety and could significantly delay the planned launch of the Polaris Dawn, set for a commercial spacewalk.
