This is honestly getting pretty funny.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Gonna get even funnier when Ketamine paranoid Musk realizes the genius rocket scientists he hired might be sabotaging his Wernher Von Braun ambitions.

Eric Berger: "SpaceX had a small issue during a rocket test. In other news, SLS deserves to be defunded to the total amount of $0"

I already saw it, but the post is supposed to be an article. That could have additional info.

[–] PagPag@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not much to it

“A SpaceX rocket being tested in Texas exploded Wednesday night, sending a dramatic fireball high into the sky.

The company said the Starship “experienced a major anomaly” at about 11 p.m. while on the test stand preparing for the tenth flight test at Starbase, SpaceX’s launch site at the southern tip of Texas.

“A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for,” SpaceX said in a statement on the social platform X.

CEO Elon Musk ’s SpaceX said there were no hazards to nearby communities. It asked people not to try to approach the site.”

The company said it is working with local officials to respond to the explosion.

Can you read the article? Does the link work for you? I was not asking about the incident, I know roughly what happened.
If the link doesn't work, it is not referring to an article.

Rule 6.

Thanks, I just found out it's location restrictions.

[–] PagPag@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, I pasted the text in my prior comment.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

That's not really news.

Wake me up when a SpaceX rockets does NOT explode, that's news

[–] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You would be woken up pretty frequently.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I think you're missing the point where rockets blowing up is a bit of a tradition nat SpaceX, much MUCH more so than at, say, NASA 60 years ago.

NASA definitely wasn't cheering every time one of their shitty rockets blew up as they actually knew what they were doing
