FAA orders investigation into SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket landing failure

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has been grounded, at least for a while.

A Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched 21 of SpaceX’s Starlink satellites into orbit this morning (August 28), sending them into orbit on the rocket’s record-breaking 23rd first-stage mission. However, the booster hit a snag during its return to Earth, flipping over shortly after landing at sea on a SpaceX drone ship.
