It’s actually quite impressive that the ship made it this far. Obviously it would have been better if the booster hadn’t blown up but they were trying a different way of separating the two stages (the last time both the booster and the ship blew up) so they were probably not surprised it didn’t go 100%

Yeah, seems like the payload made orbit, so this can be counted as a win.

I'm conflicted about these things - I was a fan of Spacex when they were shaking up the complacent defense contractors and engaging in pretty solid engineering. Now though, it's a toss-up between cheering on spaceflight and cheering on when something explodes in Musk's face.

The previous failure was 100% on Musk's arrogance. They tried to launch a Saturn V class rocket from a poorly reinforced pad with no flame diversion trench and no water deluge system. People warned him this would go poorly, but Elon knew better. Shrapnel from the obliterated launch pad damaged a few engines before the rocket even cleared the tower and things got worse from there.

I wish the government stepped in and took SpaceX away from this walking security risk. From all I've heard from behind the scenes Spacex's successes were in spite of Elon, not because of him.

They never received data from the second stage apparently, so they called it and blew the ship rather than let it fly off-course.

If I recall correctly, musk can’t even be in the same room when engineers talk about SpaceX technology because he can’t get a security clearance.

As I understand it, the "second stage" was "Starship", like, the thing they expect to send people to Mars in, that catastrophically exploded minutes after separation, there wasn't a payload or a third stage, the second stage was it. Also, it didn't make orbit.

Please correct me, I know you will.

hey it got further than the last one, that's total progress

just gotta launch a few dozen more starships and eventually one will not blow up. gotta break a few eggs to make an omelet

CNN Live Feed posted:

The Starship system made it much further into flight than the first attempt in April, but ultimately ended in another explosion.

The rocket and spacecraft safely lifted off the pad, with the Super Heavy booster igniting all 33 of its engines. During the last attempt, multiple engines shut down prematurely.

Then, the Super Heavy booster and Starship spacecraft successfully separated, as the Starship lit up its engines and pushed away. That process ended up destroying the Super Heavy booster, which erupted into a ball of flames over the Gulf of Mexico. But the Starship spacecraft was able to briefly continue its journey.

A few minutes later, however, SpaceX was not able to regain a signal from the vehicle. And the company confirmed on its livestream that it was forced to trigger Starship's self-destruct feature.

It sounds like after separation they just had no telemetry from Starship and just called it.

It was the fight termination system, so intentionally blowing it up so that something worse doesn't happen. No word yet on why that triggered.

That said, the first flight they tried to trigger the termination system on the first flight when it started tumbling and it didn't do anything which is the single biggest failure of the entire company. When you need to invoke the FTS if drat well better work or you have no business flying a rocket.

Maybe I poorly phrased that. "Spacex will spin this as a win" , is probably better.

Seems the whole thing ended in failure, according to latest reports.

Wait so the second stage lost contact, and is now in pieces, but they don't know if it broke up or if the onboard system intentionally destroyed it?
How can you not know that? If you're attempting to sling that thing over the 3/4 of the Earth, "Duuuhhh, we don't know where it went" should not be an option!

I love the idea that SpaceX views rocket launches as reiteration opportunities at the cost of tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars and not failures of validation

Like, no, Honda doesn't start crash testing cars early in the development tests to make sure they don't explode in normal operation.
