„Herzlichen Glückwunsch an @SpaceX zum siebten Testflug von Starship und dem zweiten erfolgreichen Booster-Fang.
Raumfahrt ist nicht einfach. Es ist alles andere als Routine. Deshalb sind diese Tests so wichtig – jeder einzelne bringt uns auf unserem Weg zum Mond und weiter zum Mars durch #Artemis näher.“

I really wish these launches weren’t framed up as simple pass/fail. As long as no human life was lost, every new launch is testing new things, collecting more data and advancing progress.
It’s like saying you went for a run and got a muscle ache. That doesn’t mean the exercise was a failure.
Maybe not the best analogy, but you know what I mean?
Did it have a payload? If not, it’s a test. If it did, it’s a failure to launch.
Rocket that is meant to carry future people explodes dramatically on ascent…successful test boys
They didn’t meet a single objective regarding the ship and it fared much worse than flight 3-6. The debris came down outside the exclusion zone which is incredibly dangerous.
They will find and fix the issue.
The booster did what it was supposed to do as it always does but that’s secondary now to getting a working and fully reusable ship.
This flight was an overall failure.

How does this impact SpaceX’s ability to provide a lander for the Artemis 3 mission in mid 2027? Do they still have to be able to fly a bunch of flights in rapid succession to fill up a propellant depot and fly an uncrewed test flight in two and a half years?
