I hope the CEO of that company is held responsible! He better have been concentrating on that company's operations and not slacking off, moonlighting, or dedicating his efforts to other organizations.
Space history: the reason why the soviets never made it to the moon was because their N1 rocket failed in flight four times, and their crewed lunar program scrapped. I gotta wonder if the same fate awaits Starship.
It could fall here in Slab City, California, and if it wasn't noticed at the time it fell, no one could tell where it is because there's so much debris in the desert. 🦋💙
That piece of garbage blew out over my state. DOGE rid themselves of oversight and destroyed all regulations in doing so. Now you’ve got a loose cannon doing what he pleases. Someone could have died.
It's Soviet cold war tech that failed to consistently work for their specialists, so Musk acquired the designs from Soviet engineers. Only the computer hard/software has been updated. It's a money pit it and only exists due to government subsidies and contracts. It couldn't stay afloat on its own.
Oh, we already know that. The only reason Tesla and SpaceX were successful at all is because they had a whole layer of executives whose only job was to manage Elon.
Is the DOGE logo on fuselage some sort of metaphor for work he’s doing elsewhere?
Perhaps he should slow down a bit on the quest to be worlds first trillionaire-haste makes waste you know…
Oh just wait until the low orbit Starlink satellites start to fall from the sky
( there betting they will burn up ..... guess again )
Tech bro geniuses
SpaceX said it suffered “a rapid unscheduled disassembly” so I’m not sure they are talking about a rocket or a meeting Trump may have had in the Oval Office.💥 🚀 🤯
I live right by Cape Canaveral, the mecca of space travel, and it does bum me out how tainted the company has become in my eyes (also, they work their employees to death & their safety standards are trash). At least there are others! Also, it's good to remember there's many moving nonMusk parts
Looking at all this SpaceX debris falling everywhere by Musky is like watching an irresponsible spoiled rich kid play with toy with no care of others. The problem is, this is a wealthy grown man boy who could less of the danger his "toys" put us in. America, we are in danger!!!
I'm not an expert in spacecraft, so does anyone know if resuable rockets or private companies doing it in general makes more sense fiscally than just letting NASA take the lead like beforehand?
Since congress really doesn’t give a shit about space travel, NASA’s rockets unfortunately turn into the crowning example of inefficient government spending. Just *launch tower* for their SLS rocket went from costing $400 million to nearly $3 billion.
And the Europa Clipper mission was likely made 1-2 billion dollars cheaper by flying on falcon heavy instead of SLS, and they didn’t even recover the boosters for that since it needed that much extra fuel.
Nah,this is a long game that Gingrich,Musk,and others have been playing for a long time. Cut NASA funding without upsetting all the space nerds and supposedly without killing jobs for rocket scientists by privatizing its functions. I used to buy into it, and stuff like the XPrize laid the groundwork
Before I had any conception of LGBT issues in a conscious way as a kid in the 90s (I’m talking about as a preteen, I did learn about LGBT issues later obvs) I was a Democrat because Republicans wanted to cut the NASA budget. But today space geeks are unfortunately likely to have been duped
Right, I have heard before how privatized spacefaring was done at the expense of NASA. I guess I'm just wondering if enough time has passed for data that proves it beyond a doubt.
Also, I've always doubted shiny objects or magic bullets that claim to solve big things and it feels like reusable rockets are this. I mean, is it more practical to reuse and upkeep the same rocket more than once?
There have been Falcon 9 boosters that have landed and been reflown over 20 times now and all of them were first launched in just the past few years, so that’s a good indicator on cost and reliability for them.
Like, i don’t think we have enough flights by Crew Dragons to really make a fair comparison with either the Shuttle or modern Soyuz (which has a surprisingly good track record, given the history of Russian space exploration) but the Shuttle’s repeated crew losses did not set the bar high
I have a letter from NASA. 1977. I had inquired about becoming an astronaut. And someone took the time to write me back and include a lot of very cool stuff.
No surprise why Musk ousted the head of FAA & fired 100's of other FAA workers.
FAA WERE investigating Musk after the last one exploded.
But sure let him police his own conflicts of interest.
See, then why was Elon directing the whole show, why did Trump say he was in charge on Tuesday, and why, for the first time, they’re saying other people are in control?
He is in charge of D.O.G.E. but he can only advise the POTUS. Just like SECDEF can only advise POTUS on defense actions. The POTUS has the final word, unlike the last administration, where everyonenin the administration made decisions.
DOGE is firing everyone and Trump said last night that Elon is the head of DOGE ...keep up, because you are showing way too much confidence in spreading your misinformation..
Why is it wrong for us to throw plastic in the garbage but okay for elon to scatter the earth and air with toxic chemicals and pieces of spaceships! 🤷♂️
The world is entering a downswing of history. I'm not ashamed to shill my dad's book that covers electricity, ammo, water, food, health, and sustainability. These topics are covered in ways that other books do not. Especially making, storing and using electricity.
Boycott him to oblivion
Make him suffer to remove himself by straight buffeting him
In buffet style to where he wished his brand styled of arrogance is considered unwelcome
It’s like a bad script for a James Bond movie. It would be rejected because it is totally unbelievable. Yet here we are? When does this end? Is it time to build a wall around America and cut off their internet? Just make America illegal? A danger to humanity? Why god? Why?
Can you imagine if one of his rockets explodes in space? A scenario similar to what the movie Gravity portrays could unfold. Get enough tiny debris circling the earth at high velocity. It could very well entomb humanity from leaving.
And given his motto of move fast and break things…it’s entirely possible…and even preventing new satellites from being launched for communications, GPS, weather, etc
Anyone else bothered by the environmental harm these explosions do? Like the debris can’t be good to just sprinkle over the ocean every time one happens.
Everything Elmo Musk’s unlegislated #DOGEbagHacks touch is failure & mass chaos! Now his 2nd #SpaceX Starship EXPLODES💥mid-launch, shooting🔥🚀 DEBRIS all over South Florida & forcing #FAA to SHUTDOWN air traffic ops‼️

Maybe, just maybe, the reason why NASA rockets don’t blow up, and SpaceX rockets do, is because the head of NASA isn’t saying “fuck it, it will probably be OK, what’s the worst that can happen, I’ve got loads of money”
I don’t think that’s going to happen. Rump has most of congress in an iron grip, Elmo is running rampant like a hyperactive toddler who runs around pushing buttons to see what they do.
Our democratic electeds are mostly inert, with just a few shining exceptions.
Seriously can the Ketamine Kid actually do anything right? He is leading Trump around by the balls and he is just as incompetent! Republicans are such a mess!
Actually, we are all on board a Space X aircraft in which Putin has brilliantly sabotaged to crash and burn in spectacular fashion!🔥 Unless, politicians and judges act accordingly to stop it!
We should have a campaign to convince Ketamine Ken Doll that it would be truly superheroic, patriotic, and manly and masculine and macho for him to ride his own rocket into space and back. Gaslighting - but in a righteous way!
He's NEVER getting in a rocket. He doesn't want to go to Mars. He wants to send US to Mars. Read "White Trash" by Nancy Isenberg & substitute Mars for America & oligarchs for royals.
Ya know he's BULLSHITE 'cause real evil genius would be 1st to get his Neuralink that could make him "superhuman".
Oh yeah, that’s the one. He fired all the ATC & now wants to replace them with Starlink employees. Weren’t they investigating him for an incident just like the one tonight? Oh yes, I do believe so
Elon Musk is the personification of the Fermi paradox. It is guys like him who support idiots like Trump who finally cause a species not being able to colonize space because of self destruction by stupidity.
Ever since Elon talked about joining DOGE, SpaceX hasn’t had much luck launching a rocket. I think it’s time he takes his techbros back to the office and get back to their day jobs.

He had...
STOP-NO-STOP
Gack I hate this timeline.
Billions in subsidies, ZERO accountability. Musk gambles with the sky, and we’re stuck in the fallout. 🌎🔥
When does reckless ambition become a public hazard? 🤔
Answer: Yesterday.

Just found it @ Claire Berlinski.
Truly terrifying stuff. 😡
With ALL information you want.
For ANYTHING.
It hurts, because I love rockets, I love space exploration, but he just ruins everything he touches.
If Musk left or was forced out(and the company culture improved re: regulations/worker safety/etc), I'd be happy to start cheering them on again.
Going to the Stars
In Pieces
NASA
Needs Another Seven Astronauts
closest pieces to me so far have been Falcon upper stage tank and bulkhead about 80km away.
And I live on the other side of the planet...
And that kind of does aggresively… color my willingness to say SpaceX hasn’t done decent work
The SPACEX blow up is symbolic of the damage prez Elon is doing.
Geez
If only god could send us a sign eh?
😳
FAA WERE investigating Musk after the last one exploded.
But sure let him police his own conflicts of interest.
This is propaganda, out and out.
The answer is, Elon was in charge until they got in trouble and now they’re lying.
Dumps too busy wheezing round a golf course or playing race cars ffs
Maybe DOGE should look into that.
Only one class in America gets socialism, the rest of us aren’t worthy apparently.
Yeah, I know. Both are wrong.
“We are all in another debris field of another SpaceX mishap every single day.”

The country has had a devastating mishap!
Our democratic electeds are mostly inert, with just a few shining exceptions.
But Elon wants us to trust his rockets for human travel?
Him first.
