SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded on Thursday minutes after lifting off from Texas, dooming an attempt to deploy mock satellites in the second consecutive failure this year for Elon Musk’s Mars rocket program.
Several videos on social media showed fiery debris streaking through the dusk skies near south Florida and the Bahamas after Starship’s breakup in space, which occurred shortly after it began to spin uncontrollably with its engines cut off, a SpaceX livestream of the mission showed.
The failure comes just more than a month after the company’s seventh Starship flight also ended in an explosive failure. The back-to-back mishaps occurred in early mission phases that SpaceX has easily surpassed previously, indicating serious setbacks for a program Musk has sought to speed up this year.
It pisses me off that I’m rooting against Space X, a company with an unarguably cool mission and product. Fuck Musk.
Going to space under capitalism makes no sense.
Why should space exploration need or want a profit motive?
Create an anarcho-communist society where we firstly house, feed, and educate everyone. Explore space for the pure purpose of exploration in conditions where we can all collaborate without the need of competition and destruction.
Whats cool about mining colonies on other planets? They will probably send
slavesprisoners there.There is NOTHING cool about SpaceX and there never was.
Musk claimed it was “Plan B” but there is no fucking Plan B, if we destroy the earth that is it!!
Musk and Trump are the idiots in Don’t look up! And the movie nailed it!
He will just make you a slave there, dont buy into this bullshit
