It would be nice to see the explosion, but you(tube) put a fkin END CARD over it.
enhancer for youtube extension can remove those
all i can say is that i am glad this was not a crewed test flight
Too bad Trudeau wasn’t in it…..😉
@Demolition Dan shame you weren’t 😉
@Atlesi Feyst I wish you were in it ya goofball.
@Atlesi Feyst how old are you? You know nothing about rights and freedoms we used to have.
This isn’t even a full up version of the Starship. Just a prototype test article.
So…………… This was a success??
Its a test. Things break during testing. This is normal.
Task failed successfully
How many times did SpaceX try to land a Falcon 9 booster before success? They crashed and crashed. Why? They were learning how to do it. Now they nail every landing because they know how.
This launch is for practice and data. SpaceX did not expect a successful mission. If it made orbit, that would be incredibly special. If the booster then landed, that would be miraculous. This “failure” won’t cause any surprise or disappointment at SpaceX. Testing, Testing, Testing…
for some reason, it failed to separate so command center decide to abort and make it explode
what do u think would happen if this massive thing didn’t explode 35km in the sky but instead crashed down on Earth?
After making it do some cool flips.
@Jeff Wang That’s why it has self-destruct circuitry on board. Even the Space Shuttles had it – a fact not widely advertised. You can be sure that the explosion was deliberate – they had the telemetry, the vehicle was clearly failing, time to cut your losses
@613 Space X is gathering data for self landing for rapid re-use and that’s why star ship was rotating. never meant to reach orbit or separate.
The greatest teacher failure is (yoda)
The Kerbals would be proud. 👾
Icing on the cake😂
You couldn’t pay me to fly on a spacex rocket. The stories from engineers that work and worked for SpaceX are like a nightmare.
I heard the same stories from engineers working on the A-380. It is hard to distinguish how much reality is in complaints…
You mean out of the over 100 successful launches and landings they have had with crew in it and succeeded every time even reusing that same material. To bad.
Best rockets ever built. No one else can match it. This was a test and failure was expected.
The reporter has such a cartoony voice lmao
didnt check their staging
I’m sure that’s great for the environment.
lol
Oh no it has no effect on the environment!!!
The sooner we’re off this rock, the less you’ll have to complain about.
It produces the emissions of no more than 3 747s, plus materials are stainless steel and basic stuff. Try harder, this ain’t it chief
Now, who’s up for a trip to mars?
The fact a 50 story rocket was just cartwheeling for a minute before explosion is just awesome
Test to Failure , This test was a data mining extravaganza ! Well done Elon , well done SpaceX, You got this !!!!!
Uneven thrust as too many of the Raptors didn’t perform as indicated by the bottom view showing uneven Raptors firing.
As successful as Twitter….
4:07 icing on the cake?? looks like an expensive candle exploding in our faces
Spacex need to redesign launched pad , heat reflected from flame cause the metal of booster rocket to expand so Starship couldn’t separate.
We landed on the moon but forgot how to launch 😂
it is like watching Seinfeld episodes
