      Don’t worry guys, I’ve been assured by everyone that Starship is only ~~1 2 3 4 5~~ 6 years behind schedule and they’ll get it all worked out soon.

      These regular explosions are all tests to see what happens if it explodes. These are successful explosions, stop asking questions. Stop it.

      I can’t wait to learn how this actually amazing and a sign of progress for Space X

      Holy cow that video is pretty awesome though. Elon makes the best fireworks.

      Totally normal, part of the process. We only need to do 37 more launches and have 16 more pad explosions and we’ll be all set to go to Mars!

      This is really bad. The V2 Ship has been cursed. Three failures in a row and now this.

      I hate Elon as much as the next guy but SpaceX was so fucking cool and it’s tragic to watch it just go to absolute shit

      On one hand I’m sad because space travel is so cool and SpaceX, which has pushed the way space flight is done forward, has become our only way to do it. On the other hand, I’m happy because Elon is having a terrible night and that fucker deserves to have a terrible night every night for the rest of his miserable life.

      There’s obviously a massive design flaw with this program. Even if each failure and explosion has different causes, there’s either a huge lack of quality control or something inherit to the design that causes all the ‚causes‘.

      Fail fast is a fine methodology for software development, but when it’s causing significant explosions that can get people seriously hurt, you need to reevaluate your process and you should be doing more unit testing, hardware in the loop testing, and various forms of integration testing before you get to stages of qualification and regression testing. If it wasn’t blowing up every ship, okay great, but at this point be humble and accept that the scope of smaller scale tests needs to increase.

      All those engineers and scientists that built the ship, so excited to see it fly, only to have it explode. Wonder what they’ll learn from this!

      What’s up with the comments? Does everyone hate SpaceX now because of Elon?

    19. DriftinFool on

      Someone should tell Elon that the fire is supposed to come out the bottom, not the top.

      I’ve got a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering, and can say with some professional certainty that the front fell off

      I really want Starship to succeed, just as a proof of concept. It’s not looking great so far and that’s just so sad but also fuck musk. But I feel bad for all of those great engineers. I wonder if the energy and quality of workers has gone down in the past few years?

      I don’t like Elon, but I’m not cheering for this to fail. There’s a lot of other people involved here, trying to build a future, living their dream. I don’t want to see that fizzle, because there’s not an infinite pool of money to fund this. It seems like it could work out positively, economically, long term, but if it doesn’t achieve that, then it’ll fail, and or someone else takes it.

      Like at this point, I would not be surprised to see China have the first moon base. But I just want to live long enough to see a base happen, because this could just be a phase, and then it goes away for another century or more, like Zeppelins.

      Wow, maybe if he’d been doing his job instead of firing people for doing theirs, they wouldn’t have ruined their dock and the entire neighboring ecosystem.

    25. q120 on

      Ignore Elon. The SpaceX engineers are worth the recognition. They designed the Falcon 9, one of the most successful launch platforms there is

    28. MGM-Wonder on

      Damn that looked cool! Looks like it all kicked off near the top 1/3 of the rocket

    29. Jaxraged on

      Surely they will get this figured out and get raptor 3s on super heavy with no shielding in no time.

    31. Local_Phenomenon on

      If the Bingo card game has a winning row I would bet it’s all rigged at this point. Way to go.

    32. Spud_Rancher on

      Is this rate of incidents an anomaly with space flight or to be expected? It seems that SpaceX was killing it in the launch game until hitting a bunch of failures recently.

      The top comments here show why Reddit is so lame now. It’s a space sub people….leave your politics at the door

    36. smitteh on

      That was kinda beautiful in a when it comes to big booms kinda way at least we got a cool video

    37. FordGT2017 on

      So many spacex haters. Come on they are pushing the envelope in space travel and exploration.

    38. staticusmaximus on

      Wow, hopefully no one was injured.

      That was probably top 10 coolest explosions I’ve seen on video, pretty solidly.

      Looking at all the comments I really kind of wish SpaceX didn’t get government money and hadn’t taken away some of NASA’s shine so maybe people would stop shitting on them as much lol

      They do a lot of cool shit, including this explosion

    40. UW_Ebay on

      Is it just me or does it feel like they may be having real issues with the starship?

    41. Gentlemanmax67 on

      It almost looks like the explosion didn’t start with the rocket, but in the tower (in slo-mo).

    42. Confident-Barber-347 on

      NASA’s SLS and Artemis may also be behind schedule and cost a ton, but I’ll be damned if that sucker didn’t make it all the way to the moon on the first try. Very different development approach but that’s pretty impressive IMO.

    44. thecatpigs on

      It’s funny how everything was going smoothly at SpaceX until the CEO came back.
