In the sub head and article claims stage separation failed. The main failure here is space.com journalism. The vehicle simply did not reach the stage separation altitude/speed so stage separation was not initiated. This lack of understanding or care in research destroys any credibility this...

"practice... sleeping" LOL! this astronaut malarkey is tough! I guess it does need testing but didn't they sleep during the trip to the station?

Wow, that is very cool. The streamers coming off the nose cone look slower than I would expect, anyone got any idea what the altitude and atmosphere density is?

Sadly the millions of us in built up areas already see very little of the night sky due to light pollution, we will not notice the slightest difference.

I agree it's a big concern for some, time will tell. Hopefully the mitigation SpaceX is undertaking will be effective.

Hi How so? Are you thinking of the space debris issue? Don't . From that point of view the starlink launches are good, the second stage deorbits itself right away and the sats either deorbit at end of life or sooner due to drag if non functional .
