Should have waited until July 4th.

Elon pushed too hard trying to play. My dick is bigger than yours with Jeff Bezos‘s blue origin. And SpaceX is paying the price for his poor little butt hurt ego. LoL. Elon shouldn’t be let within 100 miles of NASA! 🤘🏻🤟🏴‍☠️🖖🏼😹

The fact they have to tell people to look up is hilarious 😂

I’m not gonna say it’s a good thing when a rocket disintegrates, but it really is something to behold

ignorantme.bsky.social•40 days ago

And so goes democracy

mathsboi42.bsky.social•41 days ago

Incredible

joenaples.bsky.social•41 days ago

Wow!

coccoside.bsky.social•41 days ago

Wow this actually triggered me and I don’t say that lightly. Gen X probably understands what I mean.

shaenon.bsky.social•41 days ago

Nope. Still can't handle it.

thebestchaos.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yep. I remember watching the Challenger in class and then immediately after, “Ok, well, take out your math books” like we hadn’t just been completely traumatized!

coccoside.bsky.social•41 days ago

It’s one of those GenX moments where we were all massively traumatized and never allowed to be like ummmmmmmmmmm wtf! And I don’t think younger generation understands how this event was hyped and we all watched real time without the outlet of social media to mourn together.

Alas, a lot of us Millennials got to watch Columbia under similar circumstances.

eye0fthest0rm.bsky.social•41 days ago

Oh yeah. We were watching it live in elementary school

darthbek.bsky.social•41 days ago

It's exactly why I came to the comments. This is the first thing I saw about it and was immediately looking for the AV cart.

coccoside.bsky.social•41 days ago

I immediately went to look what payload this was and if anyone was onboard and held my breath while doing it.

Omfg too soon. That and Columbia.

After an early morning launch at Cape Canaveral.

Hope that debris doesn’t hit anyone or any neighborhood

Another billionaire who is playing with his rockets instead of working to help with climate change solutions. If anyone could help advance our hope to bring down our carbon footprint and save our planet, it's Musk.

jac666.bsky.social•41 days ago

No! Don't look up! Haven't any of you ever read The Day of the Triffids? 😵‍💫

eurdemres.bsky.social•41 days ago

Omen.

molochchild.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yeah sure

tiagorcruz.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is going to delay the next test flight

astrojaz.bsky.social•41 days ago

by quite a bit

tiagorcruz.bsky.social•41 days ago

Apparently some debris fell outside of the area there were expecting. This is really bad.

bobmacw.bsky.social•41 days ago

Too bad a chunk didn’t land on Elon. Oops, who said that.

evinyard.bsky.social•41 days ago

Unfortunate that it exploded. Out of context, this is beautiful to watch. I'm glad it was unmanned. Do we know why it happened?

nerdotim.bsky.social•41 days ago

Which Direction was that Debris heading? Looks like west into the sunset? From it taking off from Texas you'd think it might be heading out into the middle of the atlantic but in the photo it looks lit up more near the ground and sky in the direction it was heading. Starship 7 took off at 5pm.

notkaspeck.bsky.social•41 days ago

rapid unscheduled disassembly.

superfly247.bsky.social•41 days ago

Luckily the billionaire in charge will pay for the cleanup.
(Sarcasm, he’ll never pay a dime)

venomouscritic.bsky.social•41 days ago

that looks so cool🤩

mikebrady.bsky.social•40 days ago

Another successful booster return though, which means each launch costs a fraction of those in past times.
