Wow another one? That’s crazy it’s like 2 days in a row.
NASA [paid $2.6B](https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD_80MSFC20C0034_8000_-NONE-_-NONE-) for this over 5 years. Where is DOGE indiscriminately canceling government contracts left and right?
Thank goodness we are gutting NASA so we can double down on shartship
I always find it weird how media is making headlines about no one getting hurt in rocket explosions. It’s completely normal and not newsworthy that no one is getting hurt of course, since these rocket tests always happen far away from people because it’s always standard procedure to assume it might explode at any moment.
Fun fact: I doubt they have to report injuries or deaths in Starbase, TX
That’s four catastrophic failures in a row. This supposed Mars rocket has been in development for twelve years, clearly it is never going to Mars. It has yet to even reach Earth orbit. Soon it will be quietly forgotten, like his much-vaunted hyperlink…
Even in this incident, the failure started in Starship not the booster. I actually wanted to be wrong, but I always thought that ascent vehicle was a bad idea.
