A camera on the rocket froze not quite six minutes into the test flight, and dense fog in South Texas obscured views of the ruptured rocket. Ad“Another exciting test, as we say,” SpaceX launch commentator John Insprucker said as he concluded the webcast.

Two older NASA landers are still humming along on Mars: 2012′s Curiosity rover and 2018′s InSight.
