Update May 27, 8:42 p.m. EDT (0042 GMT): SpaceX launched Flight Test 9 of its Super Heavy Starship rocket at 7:37 p.m. EDT (2337 GMT; 6:37 p.m. local time in Starbase, Texas). The Super Heavy booster successfully separated from the Ship upper stage, but was lost above the Gulf. The Ship vehicle failed to deploy its mock satellites due to a stuck door and suffered fuel leaks that led to loss of attitude control. The spacecraft fell back to Earth in an uncontrolled tumble over the Indian Ocean.
