For the first time in more than three years, SpaceX is bouncing back from a failed rocket booster landing. The company snapped a streak of more than 260 consecutive, successful landings of its Falcon 9 first stage booster when it attempted to land the booster used on the Starlink 8-6 mission, tail number B1062.

The former flight leader in the Falcon feet was attempting to land for a 23rd time when it had its off-nominal landing, which resulted in it bursting into flames on the SpaceX droneship, 'A Shortfall of Gravitas.'

After briefly grounding the Falcon 9 rocket, the Federal Aviation Administration approved SpaceX to return to launch on Aug. 30, hours after the remnants of B1062 were brought into Port Canaveral.
