Woah! We should DEFUND MY CHILDS EDUCATION and give THIS Company BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of Dollars instead!
Get in the starship, Elon!
couldn’t have happened to a nicer nazi.
So how much carbon emissions did this release?
Not much more than if the test was successful. The fuel would have burned either way.
I guess if the rocket hadn’t disassembled itself, then it could be used again.
I think static fire is part of the testing to proceed to a launch? So, now they have to build another and static fire that as well in order to get back to where they should be.And presumably a launch pad
Reason number 75 people should always be well clear of these tests. When you build a rocket, you are essentially building a guided bomb that you are crossing your fingers doesn’t explode outside the chamber.
Russia lost a good chunk of their rocket scientists in the early 1900s when a blast from one of these took put everything within like a mile radius.

Yup, except for the really important guage that is installed on the pad, that only Elon musk is smart enough to be able to understand.
He absolutely has to monitor that guage in realtime.
