    The FAA launching an investigation and grounding SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. The agency is taking the action after Wednesday morning's failed attempt to land a first-stage booster on a drone ship in the Atlantic. The booster that had just taken another batch of Starlink internet satellites into orbit suddenly tilted and caught fire.

    The grounding could affect the Polaris Dawn mission which uses a Falcon 9 rocket to get into orbit. That launch has now been scrubbed twice- the first time due to a helium leak and the second scrub due to weather concerns.
