I won’t lol at Elon on this one. It’s the purpose of testing. I think it’s great that the private sector can bear this sort of R+D venture.japhy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 9:27 am Another big day for Elon....
In a series of tweets, SpaceX said that it would learn from the test and that “success comes from what we learn”.
“As if the flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly before stage separation,” it said.
That definitely sounds exciting.

what ever happened to all the bombshell info he was going to release?
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

I watched live online. It was kinda cool. They did say no matter the outcome, it will be a success. I think they knew it would disassemble. One commentator said that exact phrase a minute after it blew up.

Were the Fauci Files on board?
Damn it, those were going to be really exciting I heard.
I saw the worst minds of my generation empowered by madness, bloated farcical naked,
dragging themselves through the whitewashed streets at dawn looking for a grievance fix.

Nothing would have been as exciting to me as if Musk was riding solo when it blew up.
Not that I would have been happy nor am I wishing death upon the man, it just would have been "exciting" to me. Sorry, I guess I am honest to a fault.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed when the Seattle Kraken introduced whatever the fudge this is as their mascot.japhy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 2:41 pmOne would almost start to think that the only Kraken we will ever see is the one Ray Harryhausen made.
I haven't looked but I fully expect someone has referred to the SpaceX vehicle as Elon's big black __________ exploding. My guess is that played some role in Elon's "excitement" today.

Pretty impressive. Hard to put a negative spin on this no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on

Is there a thread for all of us to vote on the truth? I thought so.

let “the people” determine the truth?

awesome
…when it lifted off Thursday, the nearly 400-foot-tall Starship scattered debris for hundreds of yards like mortar fire, leaving a crater under its launch mount, dents in nearby storage tanks and questions about the extent of the repairs and when SpaceX might be able to attempt to launch again.
The public road that bypasses the site was closed much of the day Friday, making it difficult to assess how widespread the damage was. But videos shared on social media showed a piece of debris slamming into a van several hundred feet away.
Shrapnel also struck the nearby beach and pummeled the shoreline, making it seem like a war zone. Splashes from debris plummeting into wetlands can be seen on multiple sides of the launchpad for 10 or more seconds after the launch. The cloud of dust thrown up by the rocket wafted into communities miles away...
