So? ....Everyone is excited because it exploded?
Very unfortunate 🥲

It’s ok. They thought it would explode on the launch pad. Starship 25 is ready to go!
Hey, thx for the zap mate! 🫡
Ahhh.
Well, then exploding 25k from 🌏 ,
I suppose is a win?
...Who funds SpaceX?
Wasn’t the rocket supposed to separate?!
Yep, that was what went wrong.
Yes, he should have separated. Some engines failed to fire and lack of power caused spin and subsequent explosion. It could also be that they detonated it from the control center to prevent it from causing damage to the ground. The Starship has a bomb system that can be activated remotely. However, as I said before, they thought it would explode on the ground. There was little chance the launch would go well. This is only the first test. It was still a success!
Doge maybe.
Well, it got off the pad and about 40 km up in the air. So, the heavy lift booster works. One step at a time I guess.
It’s an Agile mindset, don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good. 70-80% is still moving in the right direction.
420 celebration 🍾
I remember the first time I saw one of Space X’s test flights a few years ago… I had to wait for 30 something years to feel that kind of excitement again. I was 6 when the Challenger accident happened.
