CNN: SpaceX’s Starship Loses Control in Space, Makes Uncontrolled Reentry over the Indian Ocean

EXCERPT:

UNKNOWN: "All right, so we are 42 minutes and change into today‘s flight test. You‘re seeing the light show start as starship is getting closer to its reentry. If you‘re just tuning in, we were able to successfully make it to orbit, run into a couple of issues as we‘ve coasted to our entry point over the Indian Ocean. At this point, we had lost attitude control of the ship and entered into a spin. The team made the call to do what‘s called passivate the vehicles, so we're essentially venting all of the remaining propellant overboard, and it‘s going to make an uncontrolled reentry. Important to note: this is a contingency that is planned for, and we clear the zones in the Indian Ocean where these entries could take place. So we‘re not going to come down exactly where we would have had nothing happened, but we do clear a tremendous amount of space out in the Indian Ocean in the event that we run into this. You always -- we understand that there are always risks, essentially, with these flight tests, with the hardware, but we don't really accept any compromise when it comes to protecting people."
