SPACEX has destroyed the competition for large commerical launch. ULA only survives because massive $$$$ transfusions from NASA and DOD. How many engines and rockets did they blow up during development and testing?

I’m assuming this was in Midland, Texas and not West, Texas.
West, Texas -near Dallas- was the site of a large fertilizer plant explosion.

That’s why you have tests. The MSM can’t figure that out.

Cool. Where’s the media’s 24/7 mockery, scorn, and peal clutching? Oh wait, this was Bezos, not Musk. Never mind.

Was this explosion before, or after Blue Origin’s recent manned “flight”?

I was many miles away (near Glenrose), spending the evening with friends. I heard the explosion, marked the time, and began watching social media, including DFW Scanner’s facebook page. I knew this was something big. Within a few minutes the reports started coming in. Sobering day.

I went to Waco outside Baylor to try to distract the crazies from Kansas that were planning to protest the funeral, but the cowards never showed up.

Bezos’ penis rockets just can’t keep up with Elon Musk’s Space X.

ULA might have to beg SpaceX for engines

“heard the explosion”
The Bezos space engine or the fertilizer plant?

Only Elon Musk's rockets get press coverage when they fail in a test.

Only Jeff Bezo's rockets get press coverage when they have successful flights. SpaceX may have several successful missions in a day and may have already launched many thousands of satellites into orbit but you will hear nothing about that.

Midland IS West Texas. Dallas Is North Central Texas.

Well, slight correction... Dallas is ALMOST North EAST Texas.
