Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!
So where is Starship now?
Did the Ukrainians, Europeans, Russians, ChiComs, Norks, Soros, WEF or the Democrats shoot it down?
I’m going to be the “conspiracy theorist’ here. That’s two Starships that they lost right about the same time in the flight.
Given what the Liberals and Democrats have been saying and implying about Elon and everything he does, I am beginning to wonder if, and I hate to say this, that there is a mole or something over at Starbase in Texas, and that SABOTAGE may be involed.
(Starship)
And we can build this dream together
Well it IS rocket 🚀 science so ...
That’s the right question.
One of them more likely than the others...
second one in a row of those, right? Do they have another vehicle to fetch the astronauts Biden abandoned?
You’d have to be pretty dumb to think being a saboteur involved in a Musk corporation, and not think you’d get caught. Don’t mess with the DOGEmaster
Ahem, coughcough, and other throat-clearing noises...

Except they were crashing well before Elon’s apparent political flip.
>>SABOTAGE may be involed.
There is telemetry involved on everything. If something is being sabotaged, it’d be quickly identified and the saboteur will be caught and spend the rest of his days broke and in a small locked room to which he won’t have a key.
“second one in a row of those, right? Do they have another vehicle to fetch the astronauts Biden abandoned?”
No there was one in between this one and that one. Yes they have a different rocket system that goes to the space station
“...and that SABOTAGE may be involed.”
My first thought as well.
If sabotage were involved, the thing to sabotage would be the catching of Super Heavy Booster. That thing losing an engine at the last minute would take out the Texas launch facility.
Fai Mao, Test 7 also had a successful catch of the Super Heavy booster, but the Starship broke up over the Bahamas. This time Test 8 also had a successful catch, but Starship made it further into the flight before failure, but not much further.

thanks, so the one in between didn’t have the starship go to pieces?
Fai Mao is mistaken.
The one between was perfect or nearly so.
