Guess they really do believe in ‚failure is not an option‘, it’s a requirement for progress!
For anyone keeping track, SpaceX has spent $10 billion on a rocket that has now failed 10 tests or test flights.
Imagine if that statement was „NASA has spent $10 billion on a rocket that has failed 10 test flights.“
That was a little more static fire than they planned for, so SUCCESS!
That’s gonna set em back a bit, having to rebuild stage 0.
The hate you would’ve gotten 5 years ago if you said the Artemis 2 SLS was probably going to launch humans around the Moon before Starship completes one full orbit around the Earth…
I know rocketry is incredibly complicated but SpaceX can’t seem to get out the rut they’re in at the moment. Starship failing is one thing but now the boosters are going up in flames too. Weird, especially after the start they had to the program.
It’s also been happening more since a certain someone decided to enter (and exit) politics. But that would be crazy…
Perhaps giving contracts to the kinda folks known for a „fail quickly and break stuff“ montra *isn’t* more efficient than it simply being done by NASA.
I wonder if the high turnover rate is finally getting to them.
I’m a newb at space stuff but I don’t think that is supposed to happen?
Looks like I’ll have to buy more paper straws
I love this for Elon. Tell you what: let’s tax billionaires like we did before Kennedy and do it ourselves, again.
What is their change control process, seriously!?
Very important science was done this day. We learned that space ship go boom and fire hot.
Sounds like infrastructure near the static firing pad [was likely caught in the aftermath](https://bsky.app/profile/punkey.org/post/3lrwprwoh3c2l)
つまり先日も彼らは「わーわー何それ？」と言ったんです。
It’s funny that the guy translated their dialogue without the tiniest trace of emotion.
And they also just blew up their test stand too. Lovely…
Idk why but Post Falcon Heavy space X has really just not been killing it in the development department.
Infuriates me that we’re cancelling SLS when this thing can’t seem to survive static test fires this late into development.
Move fast and break things isn’t really paying off.
I mean with all the Falcon 9 landing stuff they at least got their payloads to orbit first. This thing hasn’t even had a single successful flight and we’re not seeing many noticeable improvements imo.
I read that the explosion happened *before* they had started the static fire test, so they didn’t even get useful data out of it.
spacex somehow feels like they’re rolling the dice so many times until the right number comes up by pure chance. i would not trust them to be able to roll that number more than once in a row.
See so much hate from people that apparently don’t understand the scale of starship vs aything else thats ever been put into space in the past.
If it was easy, nasa would have already done it with the massive budgets they have had over the years.
Was that a starship ornw falcon pocket rocket?
At this point, I am starting to wonder if there is something fundamentally wrong with the Starship design. Some kind of brittle failure of the steel? Or hydrodynamic instabilities due to the scale?
Fluids like liquid oxygen has a lower viscosity than qater, and liquid methane has a much, much lower viscosity than water. Big tubes and big tanks mean that all the plumbing must have a weirdly high Reynolds number for a rocket. That’s probably not good.
I went from cheering for their successes to cheering for their failures. Thanks Elon.
Another recording of this impressive explosion:

Jesus Christ V2 is cursed. Starship V1 was doing so well each launch doing better than the last and V2 has been nothing but misery.
I don’t think there’s enough ketamine in the world that can pacify Musk tonight
This is the third video I’ve seen of the wrong video edited with white instead of the full explosion that makes it look targeted by something in the top left here’s the full video https://x.com/IntelPointAlert/status/1935550776304156932
It could be something going that direction … but why edit it?
Is there a particular reason they are doing a static fire at midnight?
After the success of the Falcon Heavy, Starship continues to do everything but follow in it’s predecessor’s trajectory. Clearly, bigger does not mean better. After 10 rapid disassemble incidents, you’d think they would go back to the planning and development stage.
The booster is pure awesome, starship on the other hand seems like a dumb idea. Multiple refueling to reach the moon? Make it multistage to reach a destination. I mean, the booster could be used for a lot more than sending Starship into orbit. Think, new space station, interplanetary ship, etc. Don’t get me wrong I love what the engineers at SpaceX have been able to do, but they at this rate we are never going to Mars or the moon when the second stage explodes almost always now.
If SLS and Starship were both to be axed, would we have any feasible path for returning to the moon?
Sometimes you learn more from your failures than you do when succeed. This is perfectly fine.
