SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight

It's not perfect, but capitalism is the best system we've got. It is only through competition on the free market that we would arrive at a space program this efficient and innovative. Imagine if the government tried to do this! They would've blown up a 100 rockets by now with nothing to show for it, and it would've cost tax payers billions of dollars. The innovation of SpaceX is humanity at it's finest. For thousands of years we've looked up at the sky, and wondered what's there, and now, thanks to the engineering chops of Elon Musk, it is within our grasp. Imagine that, sending a person to space. Maybe someday we'll even be able to put someone on the moon!

It's getting more efficient by the day. They used to have to launch it into the air before it had blow up. This way it saves time

MAYBE if we Cut the FAA and OTHER Regulatory agencies it'll not Explode next Time?

It’s not a big deal when you’re blowing up someone else’s money with no real accountability.

People really put the faith of the entire American space program on Elon. It would be funny if it wasn't so stupid.

My feed rn:

that's how we know Musk isn't a Nazi, Nazis could make rockets.

/s

(he is a nazi, just an incompetent one)

I think Honda has begun building spaceships/rockets too. Think they chose to build the type that don't explode. link

“Look at what I can do” -Elon musk while throwing a Nazi salute

If you told me that I'd be cheering for space rockets exploding 10 years ago I would have called you crazy. Incredible how much damage that fiend has done to our society.

Whoa. a subpar Elon project? SAY IT ISN'T SO!

The next explosion will occur on the assembly line. Now I call that progress!

good.

sad that he wasn't on it though.

Was he on it? If he was this is a complete success.

If he wasn’t.

Better luck next time I guess?

How many times does this gotta happen before we start calling them missiles instead of rockets?

Waiting for the SpaceX bros to tell everyone how this was actually a good thing because it was supposed to happen and means everything is going well.

It's not a starship, at best it's a low Earth orbit ship.

We can't even handle being a multi-country species, maybe Elon should dial back the sci-fi "multi-planet" miniseries playing in his head...

I miss Reddit so some musky can tell me about how blowing up your spaceships is part of the engineering process and how this is good.

they were funny

It's kinda fun to be living in a time where rockets regularly blow up again. Apart from, you know, everything else going on and not wanting astronauts to die.

I'm all for mankind colonizing the stars, but I don't want that A hole down a K hole Elmo involved in any way. I don't trust the cunt not to have a back door into the colony, that he opens whenever his fee fee's get hurt, or if his K hole runs dry.

It’s certainly not Honda-level reliability.

Surely they will blame on immigrants too...

Have they published its drug test results yet?

Unplanned rapid disassembly?

I now have the Street Fighter voice in my head going:

"Honda Wins!"

For the killjoy that will come pointing out that SpaceX is at another level of development etc., yes, I know that. Japan also has a constitution written by the US that doesn't permit them to have long-range missiles.

Thoughts and prayers... lol

hehe

Good, eat a dick, Elon.

At this point I'd expect some brain leak from SpaceX. For some, no amount of money is enough to continue to work for a company associated to that toxic twat.

Whoop whoop! I hope it caused a lot of damage.

Ive only ever heard from third parties that spaceX sucks to work for because they way over work you. Idk if thats actually true. But this kind of thing makes me wonder…

oh no! anyway...

That's better efficiency. It gets to the blowing up part faster than before

They never even made it to the launch.

is this normal i don't know anything about housing cocks

Getting it out of the way so the engineers can enjoy the long weekend.

Musk's starships are blowing up like his reputation 😂

NASA should partner with Honda.

How much taxpayer money was tossed at the fucking bottle rocket failure?

If I worked building rockets for him, I'd make sure they didn't lift off too.

I've been wondering why they don't blow up more regularly. I imagine a few long range sniper shots would make them explode easily. They should be relatively easy to hit, seeing how big they are.

Damn, looks like I didn’t get my wish: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/19193050

Iterations are getting more frequent, which is a good sign, right? Right?

Well at least it was a decent looking explosion?

Is the bee okay?

The thumbnail had me reminiscing of the poster for The Descent

Break out the marshmallows

At least they didn’t wreck (more of) the environment and nearly down passenger planes with this one.

Progress!
