SpaceX’s Starship rocket system reached several milestones in its second test flight before the rocket booster and spacecraft exploded over the Gulf of Mexico.

It is quite the accomplishment to get to the Karman Line though so credit to SpaceX’s engineers.
On the one hand I want to enjoy Musk failing, but at the same time I want to praise the people who are putting all their time and effort into the project, so this comment speaks to me.
Really? Because I’m actually pretty pissed off that a shit load of American tax dollars went to this fuck face’s shitty corporation instead of NASA just so he could do everything as cheaply and shittily as possible and it could blow up like the dumpster fire it is as a result. May as well have had that Nazi fuck burn the money on a live Twitter feed while he laughed in our face and flipped us all off.
Take a break dude
Yeah, I was venting. I took like a two day break lol. That guy really pisses me off.
One of the risky things is that second stage blew up in LEO, potentially causing a lot of issues with debris. We are yet to see the real consequences.
It blew up about 3000 km/hr short of orbit, so thankfully all of it has burned up in Earth’s atmosphere already :)
