Since no major damage was reported, this probably won’t affect the schedule much…
I mean, Trump will fix that in like 3 days. Elon fucking has an office in the WH
It’s not Musk’s Starship, for Christ’s sake can we stop doing this?
After how many failures like this they finally pump the brakes? This should’ve happened a long time ago, SpaceX needs to get its house in order and perhaps admit they need to go back to the drawing board on Starship.
Ironic, the same people who say „Musk isn’t the reason XYZ is successful“ are quick to point out „Musk is the reason for XYZ failure“
An investigation like this is standard procedure any time a rocket launch doesn’t go 100% to plan. Blue Origin also has an FAA investigation right now because they failed to land the New Glenn booster.
These investigations happen all the time. This is a nothing story. It will be over soon and Starship will launch again in a month or two.
They do this after every RUD, and have done it on basically every starship flight
I remember when Tesla (and others) started sending self driving cars onto the streets thinking, are people ok with being unpaid/unwitting human subjects in their experiments?
As I watch Space X achieve progress through repeated system level failures, I’m left thinking, how is space X allowed to keep doing this? You look at the launch that destroyed the pad. Debris was raining down over a large area and the nature preserve suffered a lot of damage.
Then there’s this. The explosion happened over a populated area. The debris then traveled beyond the populated area. With different timing debris is raining down on a populated area. Debris sank into a very delicate Caribbean ecosystem.
It just seems to me that in the name of big showy launches they’re not doing the basic test bed level assurance testing that could prevent these massive system failures.
