The Federal Aviation Administration is calling for an investigation into the mishap involving SpaceX's Starship, which went out of control during this week's flight.  

During Tuesday's test launch from Texas, the world's largest and most powerful rocket lasted longer than in the two previous unsuccessful demonstrations, both of which ended in explosions over the Atlantic. This time, the spacecraft traveled halfway around the globe before reaching the Indian Ocean, but it ultimately spun out of control and disintegrated.  

On Friday, the FAA confirmed that there were no reports of injuries or damage to the public.  

The first-stage booster, which had been reused from an earlier mission, also broke apart during its descent over the Gulf of Mexico. However, this was part of an intentional high-stress test that had received prior approval from the FAA.  

According to the FAA, all debris from the 403-foot (123-meter) rocket's two sections fell within pre-approved hazard zones.  

Before another Starship launch can proceed, the FAA will supervise SpaceX's internal investigation into the incident.  

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has expressed his intention to accelerate the frequency of Starship test flights, with the long-term objective of sending missions to Mars. Additionally, NASA is relying on Starship as the vehicle to transport astronauts to the moon within the next few years.
