SpaceX ABORTS Starship's 8th Flight Test, a Falcon 9 EXPLODED, and FIREFLY LANDED ON THE MOON!

This week in space has been absolutely packed with major events! 🚀 I delayed this video to cover Starship's 8th flight test, but unfortunately SpaceX scrubbed it. However, plenty more to cover! Blue Origin sent another crew to the edge of space, Firefly Aerospace made history by becoming the first commercial company to land on the Moon, and a fleet of lunar payloads launched aboard Falcon 9. Meanwhile, China faced a launch failure, Soyuz had two successful missions, and SpaceX suffered a rare Falcon 9 booster loss.
