Elon Musk’s SpaceX Rocket Explodes 4 Minutes After Take-Off
HTML-код

- Engineers at SpaceX cheered as their $3 billion Starship rocket headed into outer space. However, four minutes into the take-off, disaster struck. The rocket started to flip and then exploded mid-air. Elon Musk was in a command center watching his $3 billion rocket go up in smoke. However, he's putting a positive spin on the failure, tweeting "Learned a lot for next test launch in a few months." Inside Edition's Les Trent has more.
I'm now always going to refer a crash/explosion as a "rapid unscheduled disassembly"
Reminds me of George Carlin and his skit about euphemism.
it was a entanglement
I have launched quite a few rockets (you know, Estes)...I so considered it a victory when I actually found one.
😂
@@LitheApo check out what Carlin says about the space people.
For everyone who isn’t into the space industry; this is the most powerful rocket to ever lift off.
And explode!
I loved the kaboom part. Thanks musky
For those who don’t know, the test lift off was great and rockets exploding is very common so this thing getting off the ground is an absolute astonishment
Yea I tho k they said that in the video lol
@@JOSHIDATRUTH yea, I don’t know, I didn’t watch the video.
For those wondering, this is very common in the space industry, Most new rockets don't work first try.
SpaceX just need to prove it could get it could get past the launch mount.
i think spacex might have had a bit of corporate sabotage in their tests also...
@@sspacegghost Haha why would you say that??
@@h.a.l.3980 oh i think some of the early tests might have had outside interference. Theres billions at stake here. the bigger the pie the bigger the lie. Theres footage of that silver drone thing flying into frame at high speed during an early launch and this is tech warfare. its not beer and skittles.
SLS went to the moon and back on its maiden flight.
@Michael parks yea nasa has the most experience in the game, they went through 10 years of testing for the orion module alone.
One of the heaviest objects just launched in a practice run. Practice makes perfection.
Yeah that's how it works.
At this point we USA needs to copy China's technology if we want to survive for few more years.
Perfection? 😂we US need to copy China's super higher technology if we want to survive few more years 😮
@@davidfognini8526 super higher?
@@davidfognini8526Calm down there buddy bot they're gonna find out lol 😅
This was one of the biggest successes to ever happen in the space industry.
🤨🤨
@@moonsun6161 my thoughts exactly.
so successful to make a rocket that fails and explodes and would kill anyone on board 😂 can’t you at least give him another try before calling it a success
@@droo9466 successful because the most powerful rocket ever built carrying a skyscraper sized metal spacecraft was able to successfully take off. Do you guys honestly think that everything should go perfectly on the first try? All of the obstacles already tackled….. yeah I would call that a success. I’m pretty sure Thomas Edison made dozens of unsuccessful light bulbs. Most medication trials fail in their first stages, only to prove in later stages to be life saving. So yes, a success to anybody that isn’t narrow minded.
@@moonsun6161 yup, I stand by it
This wasn’t a failure at all. Inside edition please research more thoroughly.
It was said before the launch that the starship only had a 50% chance of reaching orbit.
SpaceX will take the tremendous amount they learned from this test flight and use it to rapidly build and improve many new starships.
Not surprising since they hate tesla
Trial and error.
@@FO0TMinecraftPVP fax
Indeed, most engineers said it was going to blow up. Inside edition is the matrix
Its not failure its a Tactical Failure 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even though it exploded it was super cool to watch it launch and disintegrate on the livestream hopefully the Starship can do a full test flight this year that would be awesome
It wasn't meant to enter space this was a huge achievement. Heaviest rocket ever got off the ground. Chris Hadfield said it was enormously successful.
My dad works there and they got very useful info from this
@@FIr3BLZ tell your dad to thank the tax payers.
@@TheLinuxYes will do
@@TheLinuxYes will do
“Rapid unscheduled disassembly” is the fanciest way I’ve ever heard “It fell apart” put into words
Supposedly they hit the abort button which causes it to blow up an apart to prevent it from hitting something it shouldn’t. They hit the button after the booster didn’t fall off like it should have and thus they aborted as now the rocket is caring a lot more weight then projected for the next stages.
He risked $ 3 billion for that
@@onidoremc9490 when you’re worth $185 billion? That’s pocket change
@@Truckerintheusa $3,000,000,000 loss for someone who is worth $180,000,000,000 is actually a pretty big loss.
@@Cynlixal the rocket was not 3 billion. it is worth 47 million. the program as a whole is 3 billion
This review of the situation did so little justice to what was achieved today, it may seem like a failure but a lot of critical data was gathered today make this a monumental success - especially if you've been following the starships journey in development.
what kind of critical data
@@FireIsTheCIeanser agree, here's an example of 'critical data '---- 3 billion would have gone a long way in helping those in dire need on planet earth .
@@berenlevia8486 You can help by donating all the money in your bank account to a great cause. Help the needy, don't let those greedy companies do all the work.
@@ployter94 i donate to the needy through validated charities , how much is between God and myself .
my point is man is NEVER going to make it to mars , use the money it takes to blow up rockets that can't even make it to the stratosphere to help people on earth .
@Beren Levia hey, if you want, you can donate minimum 50% to all that if you really want to be righteous
I thought the orbital test flight was too early, almost seems like its rushed. The fact that the whole rig manage to launch and last 4 minutes is very impressive.
its the spacex way! go watch their grasshopper project or barge landing project
Mission failed successfully
Exactly one less fake attempt 2 go nowhere
True
It was a successful mission, they got valuable data from this
Butt hurt democrat
@@joeurbin7235 nope, i heard the rumbling of the launch from my house this was very real
it's not a failure. But it's heaviest rocket they could lift a ton up in the air. it's pretty good... it can't be done cheaper. it could carried 100 people in that rocket.
It's a Big failure, we US need to copy China's super technology if we want to survive for few more years.
" it could carried 100 people in that rocket."
to their deaths?
@@justanobody0 we gonna need space graveyards in the future
@@justanobody0 bruh obviously it takes time before the Starship vehicle is rated safe for Human and manned crew mission. This test was the first. Not everything should be successful on the first attempt. Take example with SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Falcon9 have done a magnificent 200 total flight records. When it was first created, it also exploded and failed just like Starship. But they have completely mastered the trick after 5-6 years of service.
or it could blow up and be a 3 billion dollar casket for 100 people
You literally could refer to every explosion in history as a rapid unscheduled disassembly 😅
On August 6, 1945, Hiroshima had a rapid unscheduled disassembly.
They call it a "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" because they blew it up on purpose after the booster wouldn't separate from the Starship.
Thank you. This was a huge success. People just hate Elon and will detest any success surrounding him.
@@jspur22 Well he is a right wing fascist cult member
@Raiden yes it is. it managed to fly for 4 minutes. a starship able to carry hundreds of people. this IS a huge succes seeing how it could have exploded even before takeoff etc. for a first flight, this is amazing
@Raiden to space
@Raiden maybe the mars someday. even if its not gonna be this model, it brings us closer to a model that can, as we now know what not to do
It was a autonomous scuttle charge that blow up the rocket (the abort system)
It was put there to make sure that if something were to go wrong, the massive rocket doesn't end up going intercontinental in hitting something like a city
Should have tried to hit Kim the rocket man
@Baracka Flaka Flame Its called FTS(Flight Termination System). All Orbital rockets have them, not just Space X. Even the Space shuttle had it, and It is mandated by law for safety reasons on the ground.
@Baracka Flaka Flame what's the alternative? Critical failure, rocket crashes into a city and now instead of 100 dead crew we have 1000?
can never break the firmament
NEVER
To those thinking this was a failure. This was not at all a failure. The part where they said people groaned, was not true. That was the start of everyone cheering. They managed to gather critical data from this. This launch was an extreme success! And it went much better than was anticipated.
Critical splatter
They cheered cause their workplace is cult like. If it had fallen over, exploded and caused a fire they still have kissed Elon's @$$. At $3 Billion per launch they better start getting it right or this could all go "Las Vegas Hyperloop" real quick
I wouldn’t call a rocket exploding right after it launches a success.
That doesn't make for good "news"
@@user-lr9cw9bb3k it’s the heaviest rocket ever by FAR, it wasn’t even expected to come off the ground, this was a great success
For everyone who isn’t into the space industry; this is a rocket
Thanks for that - I was wondering.
ohh wow i thought that was a submarine
@@pintificate 😂😂😂
@@victor_wet_bananas 😂😂😂😂
is it not a firework?
Im so happy to have seen this thing launch today. I think it was a spectacular event overall. Lots of data goes a long way towards making future launches better. Congrats to Elon musk and the Spacex team.
You mean the data for the CO2 emissions? It's a good thing that the super-rich have an expensive hobby in times of climate change and that the press reports uncritically.
make sure mommy doesn't find that sock....
It was only the separation that failed wasn’t it? The launch etc was good but they purposely returned the rocket, when they did that the booster was meant to come off the main front rocket. Kind of a big thing to leave out in a news report
The craft lost control during the flip before the stage separation. Launch was a full success
Think some engines didn't work ?
@@huntersway7892 Yep. 6-8 shut off. Reckon some of the launch pad (Now deceased) is responsible for that.
It was supposed to separate above 90km, it wasn't even halfway there.
Let’s be honest here, it hit the firmament.
😏
"Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly"
Sounds like something Putin would say 😂
or something Elon Musk would say
NASA has been using that phrase for a long ass time. He didn't invent it. Kinda sad he's getting the credit for it.
I watched this live with my class. We were all really disappointed that the Starship rapidly disassembled. But we all realized that it was better for it to disintegrate over water than crash into land
You know... they said they didn't expect it to make it all the way but hoped it would... don't make it seem like it was a failure. They tried hard to put that thing into space but stuff like that will always be inevitable when trying to succeed 100%. Especially when your building a rocket ment to go farther than any other space craft has taken humans. Honestly I admire that it made it as far as it did. Just a shame that it couldn't make it to stage 2.
The rocket got through the hard part, it is just that the stages did not seperate when they should have. It’s still a massive success as the hard part is the bottom stage but it seems they’re almost there with it.
Not a failure, it was a success! It was a success due to the data that SpaceX was able to collect, and this is a MASSIVE milestone!
Agreed
yes, you can lear about it, but, it was a failure, come on.
True
@@NN-mi8hv bruh lol it was a success, they got data and that was what they were trying to get
Really? IT WAS A BIG GIGANTIC FAILURE, we US need to copy China's super technology if we want to survive for few more months.
I literally live 30 mins away from Space X and I heard it when it exploded in the air 💀💀
Love a guy who always turn lemons into lemonade. Just another day at the office, great positivity!
It didn't explode, I think it wasn't releasing and to make sure it didn't crash on land close to people, they initiated the self destruct. Regardless, a HUGE success in space exploration
A rapid unscheduled disassembly. Lol awesome.
"this rocket will take us to Mars" No, this rocket would take you 4 minutes into the sky until you die in a fireball.
Most expensive fireworks ever
of course testing is always neccessary, but come on i was hoping it lasted longer
Failure or not, im glad i dont pay $3 billion for my fireworks :P
They wasted 3 billion while I pawn my stuff to pay rent smh
This thing is HUGE!!! The fact that it was designed and built, then launched and went for over four minutes before "something" happened in flight, is a success.
There is a LOT going on; not just a huge flame coming out and propelling it upward like a fireworks display... So much more is going on and critical data will be analyzed to improve the next test in a few months. This was a $3 Billion dollar rocket. If it was NASA, it would be $50 Billion.
Yeah right, the only way NASA can go to the moon for real is asking China for a ride when China go to the moon buddy.
@@davidferrari7543i think their buikding rockets to go to mars to
The biggest task is to get that thing off launchpad. They did.
Everything after that, for a test flight, is icing on a cake. Why stage separation failed will be figured out soon!
Bravo, SpaceX
And you expect me to believe we landed on the moon and walked on it over 50 years ago? 🤣
This rocket is MUCH larger than the other rockets were. It is going to take trial and error if we want to do that again, let alone with a rocket 5 times the mass. And yes, we do expect you to believe we got to the moon over 50 years ago because it is common knowledge that it happened.
It wasn't an explosion, it was just the rocket taking itself apart faster than the eye can see, and it sometimes leaves behind traces of this in the form of a cloud and some fire.
And what part of the rocket is still worth something?! 😆
They launched it with the intent of having it splash down in the ocean and letting it sink. The rocket was going to be lost anyway so any data they could collect only helps to improve the next launch!
Yeh massive fail in my eyes.
@@zeta472 well then you obviously didn’t understand the point of the launch
@@zeta472 do your research, you obviously do not know anything about the launch plan
@@robberyplan enough to know it was embarrassing 👍
@@zeta472 its called trial and error. their development methodology is through practice, instead of theory.
Absolutely historic event👌💪👍💯,imagine a machine that tons of wieght and most heavy rocket lifting off to orbit 4 minutes thats amazing👏👏💪👌💯💥♥️🎉.Failure is normal for,but when you practice it repeatedly it turns perfect soon.
They weren't even expecting it to take off the launchpad(Stage 0) everything that came after taking off was a bonus as they put it cause Starship wasn't meant to survive which is why it didn't include any landing legs or any other system of landing in 1 piece and they still got tons of data so they can analyse it for future flights this was just a test.
There seems to be a glitch in the rotation meter.
It hit the firmament 😂 .
yup
only news report on the launch ive seen that actually did their research and knew what they were talking about instead of just calling it a "failure"
lol they called it a 3 billion rocket which is wrong.
@@robinelliott-ni2eh i take it back kek
They need to get in contact with the aliens and learn the formula to floating and hovering
“Can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.”
A 3 billion dollar vision 😵💫
Yet when it’s done it’s gonna be cheaper than any Falcon 9 because the only cost after it’s built would be the fuel while the Falcon 9 needs some refurbishments after it’s return
That's the estimated cost of the program. This test is in the tens of millions.
Looks like that's why Elon fired more than half of Twitter's employees.
He was saving money for this explosion 😆😆😆
@@armorkinggaming1933 😆😆😂😂
Its easy to justify the cost. Just fire a bunch of useless, worthless and freelancing twitter staff that serve zero purpose to mankind. Easy ❤
*China:* hehe, made in China.
*America:* Mission failed, we will get em next time boys.
You did not even mention what was the test.
This was the first test of the full stack (booster+Starship). It was supposed to test whether the engines will work, it will lift off and go up. Which it did.
Anything else would've been a bonus. The were already pretty high, I think the next in the sequence should have been the stage separation (again, something not tested yet) and it did not happen.
Personally, I would not have been surprised it the rocket exploded on the launchpad. This is a big success although it ended in RUD.
This is like watching your new Tesla explode because you plugged it in backwards and being happy about it because you now know how which way is up the next time you have to charge your car.
Yeah... except the Tesla isn't an unmanned prototype. This is a test article, and even if everything had gone perfectly (well beyond expectations), both stages still would have been destroyed upon impact with the ocean.
tell me you know nothing about engineering without telling me you know nothing about engineering (I’m assuming this is satire btw)
They hit the glass dome ;)
Rapid unscheduled disassembly is brilliant lol
🗿 thankfully no one was injured in the process
I love how optimistic Elon is about things like this. It makes me wonder how much better our own lives could be if we took that same approach to even the simple things in life
Delusion is a great drug
nah. we're too busy caring about things that have no significance in our lives. you'll see it in this comment section. full of people who care too much about elon and what he does with his money.
@@squidjames7735 Considering they went from a single engine giant tin can about two years ago.

Better not be a failure just like the Challenger or Columbia disasters. It’s a dangerous launch! 🚀🔥
Failure is the only way we learn. If everything was right the first time then there would be no room to grow, improve, and adapt. Risks have to be taken.
You really cant compare what happened to the shuttles to what happened today….different launch systems and different goals heck you really cant compare the shuttle disasters to one other (other than them being the two oldest in the fleet and NASA view on safety protocols in 1986 and 2003 respectively)
I can’t wait to see what happens next great step for human race

It's an inside joke, it's not meant to hide anything.
You can't exactly hide a 120m tower spinning in the sky and then exploding. 😂
By the way, the explosion was triggered remotely by them as part of the abort system: you can't have an enormous cylinder, full of highly flammable substances, just tumbling out of control at supersonic speeds.
Its a BIG step to our future
Wait a minute... I just lit a rocket... ROCKETS EXPLODE!
Reminds me of when Squidward pushed the flag twirlers to the limit and they slammed into a blimp. IMAGINING ELON CURLING INTO A BALL AS SOMEONE PLAYS A SAD TRUMPET SONG IS HILARIOUS
Let's conquor planets, before fixing our own planet.
You need to learn we're past due for another extinction level experience. We need to occupy other planets if we hope to save ourselves.
That’s the thing we can’t
We can't "fix" our planet. It's not a snap decision like that. You think we're just a few important people's signatures away from fixing ALL of our problems. Such naiveté. Besides there's 8 billion of us, we can focus on multiple objectives.
not a failure, they made great strides today, and it wasnt an explosion, they set off the self destruct themselves
Isn't this the rocket he wants to send us to mars in.... Yeah we good

No, no it was rapid unscheduled disassembly.
The planned course for it was to bellyflop in the pacific anyway lmao
No the figure is wrong. SpaceX is a private company and they do not disclose their financial information publicly.
$3 billion, if correct, is for the entire program. Not for this one (one of many) test rocket.
