On January 16, a SpaceX rocket called Starship exploded during a test flight. The explosion created a lot of falling debris. This debris was seen in the sky over some islands. It looked like a light show, but it was dangerous.
Three planes with 450 people were flying nearby. They had to change their paths quickly to stay safe. Air traffic controllers worked hard to keep the planes away from the falling pieces.
SpaceX did not tell officials about the explosion right away. This made it harder to keep people safe. Some people are worried that SpaceX is not being careful enough with its tests.
