Every failure gets you closer to success.
Hey SpaceX, learn something from NASA. They canceled flights until the weather cleared.
On engine relight looks like only one raptor relight, causing hard landing, in the fog. Will be interesting to see after fog clears
I just missed it live, looks like Tim Dodd on Youtube’s camera was hit by debris. He’s bummed, and I am too.
Next one, SN15, is a major update. But if they can’t land that one, I really dunno how long they can keep this up.
A Parachute would be cheaper than a entire Spaceship, but that’s just me. #;^)
In the immortal words of “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”
From the ashes of failure grow the roses of success.
SpaceX officials revealed that they had not updated to iOS 14.4.2 prior to the launch.
JK
Elon Musk is no doubt a great man. Yet his desire to take a one way trip to Mars reflects a not so subtle death wish and severe conflict about the meaning of his life on earth. His accomplishments should be analyzed to contain flaws and strategies that will result in their ultimate failure.
These are throwaway test Rockets
Actually, I wonder what stainless steel scrap is going for these days. Seems like SpaceX is generating an awful lot of it. They're probably depressing market value in the area due to the glut.
All aboard! ;^)
Here’s something else that was shared to me this morning. Elon apparently tweeted this today after the big boom...
Elon Musk (@elonmusk) Tweeted:
Please consider moving to Starbase or greater Brownsville/South Padre area in Texas & encourage friends to do so!
SpaceX’s hiring needs for engineers, technicians, builders & essential support personnel of all kinds are growing rapidly. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1376901399867441156?s=20
You go first.
No you go first.
No you go first.
Future astronauts on first manned flight on the Starship rocket.
Sure hope he is better with the other reporting he does.
From what I gather they lost telemetry at the re ignition phase after flipping over and it may have auto destructed at altitude. Interesting views of flashes and flames on one engine and lots of what looked like propellant flowing past rocket, I think it buckled during the gliding flip over phase. Exploded say around 400 meters or so off ground by the debris field and time to ground impacts.
You want to do something new? Rapid prototyping is the only way to go. Managers hate it, LOL.
