Another iteration and another test launch, duh

As much as I really really hate that asshole, this was a success. The hot staging technically worked and the Starship got to space. Iterate on the booster top heat management and fix whatever went wrong with Starship and it will be fine.

Oh, I know this one! The third explosion, right?

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Comedy comes in threes. They’re practically obligated to explode the last one.

Shortly thereafter, MuskBoy blaming it on a particular religious sect

They should optimize for neat explosions.

Kinda what rockets do

[–] sirdorius@programming.dev 12 points 10 months ago

I would say the rocket is ready for billionaires who want to beta test it.

Fuck Musk, first and foremost, but this flight has been a success, they have successfully separated the booster which was very cool to see.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Paywall.

I guess it's the good old 'fail fast' strategy.
