During Starship's 14th test flight, several engines on the upper stage and the booster failed. The propulsion malfunctions could have consequences for NASA's planning of its Artemis moon missions, which rely on a variant of Starship as a lunar lander. Observers are watching how SpaceX responds and whether the failures will push back timelines for returning humans to the moon.
