Debris from SpaceX rocket’s disintegration causes flight disruptions
WASHINGTON — SpaceX’s colossal Starship launch system lifted off on its seventh uncrewed test flight Thursday, with an upgraded version of the megarocket embarking on the program’s most ambitious flight to date.SpaceX was able to duplicate its prior feat of catching a booster that returned to Earth. But 8.5 minutes into flight, the Starship spacecraft itself was lost.“Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn,” the company shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “Teams will continue to review data from today’s flight test to better understand root cause.

Power lines, hikers, arson: Inside the effort to uncover what sparked LA's fires
LOS ANGELES — The hiking trail through Temescal Canyon in western Los Angeles is a favorite of locals.Towering above the twisting roads and manicured homes that make up the Pacific Palisades, urban hikers seeking an escape from America's famously gridlocked city have a clear view of the pristine waters of the Pacific.Now the green, brush-lined path in the canyons is grey and burned as far as the eye can see.Yellow police tape surrounds the path up to the trail. Police guarding this area are calling it a "crime scene" and prevented BBC reporters, including me, from getting any closer.It's where investigators think the deadly blaze that destroyed so many homes in the area may have started.A similar scene is playing out across town in the north of the city. There, the...
