Im not a fan of elon when it comes to politics, he's kind of a child when it comes to that. But we are watching the research and development phase of starship so these kind of mishapes are to be expacted. Part of the proces
Elon is a POS but yes, they caught a f ing 70 m rocket put of midair and the new design of the upper stage exploded providing data. Remember when Starship was only exploding years ago? You test, see what goes wrong and fix it and test again until no more things go wrong. This thing will make orbital launch cheaper than FedEx transatlantic. I hate the guy but Starship will be revolutionary even more so than Falcon 9 which reduced the cost of access to space by 10 fold from 20k per kg to orbit to 2 grand. Starship can do it for 100 bucks and it can launch 10 times the payload of the Shuttle. So yeah this was a big success, booster catch validated. Upper stage needs some work.
@ I wouldn't bet on that in this case. The vehicle had not reached orbital velocity and unlike satellites and other space debris are designed NOT to burn up. At the very least heat shield tiles would probably survive, and there are some high pressure containers made of carbon fiber.
@@misty7005no, it does not dude. They recovered THOUSANDS of pieces of Shuttle Columbia all over from TX to FL and in the Gulf. And Columbia broke up significantly fast, and much higher up. The targeted site is in the most remote part of the Indian Ocean with a big exclusion zone for a reason. Very little marine or air traffic. Because stuff survives ALL THE TIME. What, they don't have school where you live?
Elon to employees:" You guys (shakes head in frustration)! I go to meddle in other country's politics for just a little bit.. and #7 explodes!!" On a serious note, I am looking forward to the Starship #8 launch already.
How many crashed rockets is that now? Is this the Kerbal Space Program approach to rocket design-fire it off and see what happens? Let me remind everyone that, according to the original plan, SpaceX’s Starship should be on Mars by now. Instead, they can’t even get an unmanned, empty rocket to orbit and back. If I had invested money in this project, I wouldn’t exactly be thrilled to see it literally set on fire like this.
Yes, they are making money on Starlink. But making money in one sector doesn’t excuse failure in another. Let’s cut through the bs and stop pretending Starship is some grand success or part of some "5D genius R&D scheme." Can we all just acknowledge the plain and simple fact that this is a screw-up? That’s all I’m asking.
@@isakrynell8771 [Can we all just acknowledge the plain and simple fact that this is a screw-up?] That they caught the booster is not a screw-up. That makes this mission NOT a "plain and simple" screw-up IN TOTALITY. The upper stage fire was certainly a problem; whether it was a "screw-up" or not I guess depends on how you define "screw-up". One thing I found remarkable was that one of the 13 inner engines failed to relight for the boost-back burn, but actually did light for the landing burn. I would have expected SpaceX to disable that engine after the ignition failure. The failure to relight is not a big deal; one reason to use many small engines rather than fewer large ones is to provide redundancy and engine-out capability.
@disorganizedorg Let’s all agree on one thing: when a rocket repeatedly explodes, that is not a success. Yet, we’re being told to believe otherwise, and it seems like many people actually do. We also need to acknowledge that Starship, as a whole, has been a failure so far. It hasn’t come close to fulfilling its goals and is wildly off its original timeline. That doesn’t mean it can’t eventually succeed-I doubt it, but then again, I’m not a rocket scientist. All I know is that you couldn’t get me into a Starship even with a gun to my head. It’s pure luck that catching the booster worked. Betting the entire program on something so risky without first proving it was even feasible is insane and irresponsible.
@@happymelon7129 that one wasn't completely harmless... just lucky this was the Caribbean sea. And seeing how close Texas is, starship disintegrated on its way up, this time?
This rocket ship, is suppose to be the largest rocket ever launched into space. The payload capacity? Enough to carry lots of stuff to the moon. Lunar Landings are no small feat. The Japanese attempt crashed into the moon, leaving a tiny crater.
So the takeaway here is if you’re going to take a space trip on the MuskAir Express make sure you’re sitting in ‘booster’ class, it’s the only part that comes back.
BTW do you know why Muskie never shows the interior o his rocket during reentry? Becuse its in red glowing hot with 1000 degrees inside. He referred to stainless steel as an excellent material for his rockets because it conducts heat excellently, with the minor problem that it cooks anything inside.
Anything with Eloni’s fingerprints on it - I’m out. You are supporting Red Hats & fascism doing anything different. And if your’re one of the 40,000 using a cyber truck you deserve to be laughed at by everyone else on the road. And when you park? We’re waiting to see what shoes you have on and your plastic flower in your buttonhole.
@ Is it yours? As in you paid cash not financing in any way, shape or form?. I’m impressed. Poor choice by the auction sales, off road tests and ….. simply being a practical work vehicle. If the boss turned up in one of those on a job I was paying for, I’d be questioning my judgement. Anyway. Best of luck. Truly.
that pretty stupid statement if thinking that cus he bought a account that why SpaceX rocket failed. gaming is chicken feed compared to spaceX btw Elon doesn't run that company Glen Shotwell does you know this if didn't game so much.
The ps shaped pile of rubbish malfunctioned but maybe its supposed to do that as these days parallel universe "truths" prevail. Very inefficient though...
The program is doing well and has met most of its preliminary milestones. This flight was about practicing payload deployment in orbit of imitation Starlink communication satellites.
Elon caught cheating at Path of Exile 2 video game.
operation was successful but the patiet died
why would you paint such a target on your back!🤣🤣🤣
Cue the Musk fangirls claiming this is a success
Do you think your insulting tone somehow invalidates what they have to say?
Failure is a part of success 💪🏻

Reusable boosters = profit ;p

Practice Makes Perfect!!
As a Jamaican, Elon Musk needs to keep his shit from falling anywhere near Jamaica and I'm sure my Caribbean bros and sis agree.
All the debris fell within the marine exclusion area.
you do realise it all burns up in the atmosphere, school ain’t a thing in jamaica huh
@ I wouldn't bet on that in this case. The vehicle had not reached orbital velocity and unlike satellites and other space debris are designed NOT to burn up. At the very least heat shield tiles would probably survive, and there are some high pressure containers made of carbon fiber.
M8 considering how he started to get himself involved in so many other countries when nobody asked I doubt he will listen..

What, they don't have school where you live?
Elon, Donald would be very impressed if you took him on a tour of Mars. Or the Sun, if you use your Tesla self-driving technology.
Please Mr. Musk, take astronaut training, then take the first manned flight (one way) to Mars. That will be your best contribution to humanity.
I am sure this is in no way indicative of what DOGE will do to the economy of the United States........
Optimus Prime, we have awaited you.
*Boieng:* We had a small leak, but the craft was otherwise safe (might as well have ridden it home).
*SpaceX:* Hold my beer! 🌠
Even failure looks beautiful
Best new years fire works show ever

SpaceX make billions off of Starlink and you'd be making bank from that not starship is in AlphaState and will be for few more years.
@@rory-redwhat? lol that isn’t an arguement to this. Star link is internet services, not space exploration

Beautiful
What? lol
Elon musk wants to be like Wernher Von Braun but not when it comes to rocket science more on the ideology & fascist side
Von Brain built them, he wasn't the finance guy. That was Hitler.
Also lots of his blew up.
So your ideology is labelling others'ideologies?
@@Mukajovari ouch Triggered ❄ 🤣
I love this comment! Best one I have ever read!!!
spectacularly ?if Chinese , the media will talk about the reentries as "risk"
July 24, 2022 , Uncontrolled reentries of Chinese rockets pose a risk to people and property on Earth.
March 27, 2021 , Falling SpaceX debris puts on a light show in the sky.
@@happymelon7129 that one wasn't completely harmless... just lucky this was the Caribbean sea. And seeing how close Texas is, starship disintegrated on its way up, this time?
And this is how we learn
Waste of taxpayer money...next time man it with Elon
"That blowed up good......REAL good!"
A billionaire's display of fireworks.
remind me of the Columbia space shuttle
Thank God no humans inside it
Should've let master gamer Elon steer it
Its burning harder than Elon Musk on Thunderf00t's channel....
Hahaha! Space X is a joke
SpaceX alone launched 86% of all tonnage to space in 2024. China (the whole country) spending north of $12B USD a year managed only something like 8%.
I'm sure they're devastated that you feel that way.
WONDERFUL! Well done Elon. Maybe you can get more federal funding to cover the loss.
This rocket ship, is suppose to be the largest rocket ever launched into space.
The payload capacity? Enough to carry lots of stuff to the moon.
Lunar Landings are no small feat.
The Japanese attempt crashed into the moon, leaving a tiny crater.
"Masterful gambit sir!"
From failure to perfection in few years, for those wondering, this scenarios just like in real life, teach you more than a perfect flight 😉
I'm sure it's unrelated, but that made me want Nacho Cheese Doritos and a Mountain Dew and to listen to The Yoohoos "Up Goes the Rocket"
So, are they going to clean up their trash.
A captain always sinks with their ship. Not this time
Finally some good news.
That thing is unreliable, its safety/success is based on a dice roll.
Autobots…
Let's roll on. I am Optimus Prime.
So the takeaway here is if you’re going to take a space trip on the MuskAir Express make sure you’re sitting in ‘booster’ class, it’s the only part that comes back.
RIP Percy Verence.
Literally, the incoming administration.

He referred to stainless steel as an excellent material for his rockets because it conducts heat excellently, with the minor problem that it cooks anything inside.
The skin is the same for both payload bay and tank walls. You think they can keep oxygen and methane liquid at "1000 degrees or more"?

That's why the U.S is successful, they take high risk until they succeed...
Yeah, like Stockton Rush.
KARMA
Opps.. 🤦♂️🙄
SpaceX released views from Starship entering orbit during "Live Broadcast" yesterday. Were they lying 🤨
It's incredible stuff, god-like even, but I can't help but wonder if it's not a massive waste and there's nothing worth fighting for out in space.....
Trying to cheat the gaming community has consequences :v

So sad 🔥🚀
So yall still believe that the moon landing happened? 😂😂😂❤❤
The program is doing well and has met most of its preliminary milestones. This flight was about practicing payload deployment in orbit of imitation Starlink communication satellites.
This project has not acheived milestones, is years behind schedule, has wasted $3 billion and cannot achieve orbit. So stupid.
You mean if failed again and is years behind schedule?
What preliminary timeline they met? According to Musk he should have sent a cargo mission to Mars in 2018 buddy...
From a science fiction movie? lol no. It's a rocket....
