SpaceX can’t launch its giant rocket again until fixes are made, FAA says

Associated Press  

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX must take a series of steps before it can launch its mega rocket again after its debut ended in an explosion, federal regulators said Friday. FAA official said multiple problems led to the April launch explosion, which sent pieces of concrete and metal hurtling for thousands of feet and created a plume of pulverized concrete that spread for miles around. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said in the accident’s aftermath that he improved the 394-foot rocket and strengthened the launch pad. SpaceX said fuel leaks during ascent caused fires to erupt at the tail of the rocket, severing connection with the main flight computer and leading to a loss of control.
