Hope US Tax payers aren’t paying for this $3B science project. We have a fentanyl crisis for Pete’s sake. Mars can wait.

FAA has grounded Starship as it conducts an investigation into the reason behind the explosion
A very obvious fake celebration for a very obvious failed launch. The SpaceX program is costing taxpayers billions of dollars. How dumbed-down, and stupid have we become, when so many people are going to fall for this b.s.. Did the SpaceX crew receive a bonus for their fictional celebration, and fake smiles, or are they all afraid to lose their jobs if they don't follow orders to 'Celebrate even if the mission fails, because American taxpayers are watching, and we don't want to lose support for our farcical, batshit-crazy SpaceX program.' Clearly, all that matters to these assholes is money.
What a dumb crowd there 😂😂😂
Putin did it!
Should've had Megahertz
Bozos big mad
Will never break through to the firmament
They know
Musk is the new face of NASA for the fools- he is a serpent
Why are they cheering over an explosion?
Employees/fans obviously pre-programmed to cheer no matter what. What a joke.
Washington Post and an Video with 720P , oh my God what a Hoax.🤮😵💫🤯
I know this has not much to do with the video but a fond memory from my childhood.
This 2 stages remind me, my brother and my friends back then, we managed to make a 2 stages cartoon rocket. We used a paper tube as a launching pad, below the tube there was a piece of tile and some sulphur which ignites and accelerate the rocket. We used phosphors as a propulsion to the rocket that we have cut of from matches, we used overall 38 boxes. The paper rocket was about 35 cm in length and about 5 cm diameter. We used pins at the bottom to fix phosphor in place and have access to the propulsion. Unfortunately we forget to put stabilizer on the rocket so the first stage simply exploded in the tube after launch and knocked the second stage in the air, about 10 meters high where the second stage caught fire and was violently spinning and shaking like a proper firework, shooting flaming phosphors in circles for some seconds and then the remains of the rocket sadly landed. We collected the body of the rocket for studying and monitoring purposes that we kept in secret, (in a top of a tree nearby) sadly all the data was stolen. We managed 2 other launches with more success but with the same material and method. Do not do it at home or anywhere, at launch a meter wide fireball will come out at both ends of the tube (if you do it properly only at the bottom) :DDDD
The amount of people that don't have a clue what a test is or why people cheered should probably watch something that actually makes sense to them.
Surface heat reached to very maximum stage and basically booster rocket was embedded to starship seperatin points and during seperating, booster keep pumping extra heat thermal way and that ignited starship fuel…it is an thermodynamic problem…heath did not transfer to atmosphere to cool down and starship looks like very anorthodox design like a male organ.
Dit it have any CO2 emissions ? How meny hazardus materila fell in ocean ? Aaa ? Yes Western hipocracy.
Anyone can build it, it's not rocket science 😉
The fact that a rocket ship can explode and people can applaud because they know there are no people in said ship is truly something special.
It was way more successful than what a lot of people wanted. Sorry media.
More information now, so what is not mentioned amidst all the cheering and clapping is several engines failed on launch. There are 33 and I suspect what caused the flipping, when that began, up to 8 engines malfunctioned. So yes it cleared the platform, but not really anywhere near sufficient to label this a success, unless of course, just getting off the platform was the goal.
This is the only thing I ever seen that spins as fast as this is my dog trying to shake off a dingleberry.
Pov: doge going to the moon
It's interesting how they put FAILURE into words…. What an excitement, NOT!
If it was a prototype that's likely to fail, I wouldn't tell the world about it.
The best bit was when it exploded
Its actually impressive that it withheld those flips
No worries … the American taxpayer will buy another one.
😒 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🚀
Poof of concept
the expression on the musksrat's face when it broke…..was cathartic
There were 13 Saturn 5 rockets. I had use ChatGBT to find no Saturn 5 exploded. So, fifty years old technology worked better Spacex? Currently, Spacex has exploded 210 rockets. You say Spaces is learning. No. We know how to make rockets. Spacex is taking money away from people who make rockets, and joining it to people who make bombs. Hey, they do make profit. You can Cheer that you idiots.
Does anyone else find the girl's reaction to the rocket disintegration completely over-the-top? Given what we know about Musk's personality and how he intimidates his workers, it's hard to believe that anyone would genuinely celebrate such a failure. It feels like Musk imposed a mandate to spin any failure into a celebration for the sake of image.
Literally the point of a test flight. Too bad it didnt make it but still pretty damn cool.
Maybe they needed more heat shields, a different ignition sequence and been on time! I didn't get that time inconsistency 🙄
Edit; Those wiggles were satisfying 🌚 my gosh this crowd's energy you would think they actually did sth😂 anyway jk, it was still a success generally
Pretty good for a first test.
There’s no such thing as failure. Everything you do in life produced a result. Results are data that you collect and attempt again with a better method.
