SpaceX is two for two when it comes to blowing up Starship spacecrafts in 2025.
  • SpaceX’s eighth Starship launch ended in a “rapid unscheduled disassembly”.
  • The company reportedly lost communication with the rocket before it began tumbling and eventually, blew up.
  • The Super Heavy Rocket returned to Earth safely and was caught by Mechzilla.

    If SpaceX could do this shit in a way that’s more respectful to the environment and other humans then I think it’d make a lot of sense.

    A lot of the early US space program used what is basically iteratively design. The military wanted big nukey rocket quick like what for to exploderate the Ruskis, and even NASA was honestly pretty cavalier until the Apollo 1 tragedy.

    This doesn’t excuse SpaceX for their shit at all. Find a way to do this shit safely or don’t do iterative design.
