It’s an ex Starship

Meanwhile, Musk was focused on harassing firefighters and cheating in video games instead of his rocket business. Classy.

The booster catch at the launch pad worked, but the upper stage of the ship is lost.

Sucks, but I admire their willingness to build, test, fail and reiterate in rapid succession.

That’s why NASA’s SLS costs billions of $ to launch and only flew once, while SpaceX built the heaviest rocket and launched it 7 times in a fraction of the cost of 1 SLS launch

Oops.

The booster returned and will be reused, meaning Musk can have frequent launches and sort out these problems to start his Mars exodus: 3 launches every 2 days for 20 years each carrying 100 elite survivors of climate breakdown. The next phase in human evolution. His plan.
