On February 2, 2026, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket experienced an upper-stage engine failure during a Starlink mission from California, preventing a controlled deorbit. While the 25 satellites were successfully deployed, the stage failed to ignite for its return, leading to a temporary, short-lived flight pause and subsequent FAA investigation closure.

Will something similar or worse happen again?
