The new version of Starship will be tested again in four to six weeks. A third consecutive failure could indicate fundamental problems with the updated design.

Uh no 4 out of the past 8 ships exploding already did that. NASA never had a failure rate even approaching that.
Elon has a habit of building things that like to burst into flame
NASA had one explosion & the whole program was shut down until the problem was fixed. Musk is a spoilt child & just keeps throwing tax payers money at it. 50% fail rate - even worse than Tesla!
Well I mean that’s what you get when you put a low IQ nepo baby living on inherited wealth who’s never designed or invented a single thing, has no engineering background and never had a job in charge. If he wasn’t born rich he’d be living in an old trailer
So was the First Lady.
Barron Trump is an anchor baby.
And I can’t be the only one who gets major serial killer vibes from him, right? Dude is SO creepy
It’s a good thing government is paying for this waste, inefficiency, and corruption.
Let all watch the pretty sparklies while mumps, measles, and viruses rage! And they’re raiding the treasury and dismantling financial and safety protections.
That "We The People" are paying for this collasal shitshow is an insult to the American people. When NASA has an incident they dig in and correct. These fuckers just fire another test costing us peons billions in tax dollars.
At least now nobody cares about the environment, the damage to other things around the path flight and who cares our government is wasting billions with each failure.
all these destructive tests are brought to you ,the American Taxpayer, BY you the American Taxpayer
Take the billions back from this asshole every time his "tests" fail.
It's the Soviet N1 but with even stupider parameters. Of course there are "Fundamental Problems". But Elmo The Boi NotSee can't understand that he can't just buy a clue no matter how much money he steals via DOGE for SpaceX.
The fundamental problem is the same as Tesla I should think! 🙄
Musk’s Starlink is based on the old Soviet tech (of course he’s Putin’s boy!) - this was never stable & Musk hasn’t the patience to allow scientists to make it so - even if they could. Russian scientists spent decades & failed 🤷♀️
The US must be made to pay compensation to all who have been adversely affected by the explosions. An international inquiry should be held to determine whether there was negligence, or worse still, recklessness.
What investigations? Who is left to investigate. Musk knew exactly what he was doing. He doesn't care if people dies, as long as he makes his billions.
I'm a huge sci-fi reader, love it. Looking at stuff like this makes me think we will never achieve true spaceflight. Both technology and idiocy will forever hold us earthbound.
Don't call it starship. That his marketing name for what is a rocket. Period. A rocket. You know, like Nasa used to make, except theirs didn't keep blowing up. And the one time it did, the whole program shut down until the flaw was resolved. But not Elon. He gets to keep wasting our tax $$$
Am I correct that this last one that blew up was supposed to be held back until they found out what caused the first explosion? I understand Musk pressured to FAA to give him permission to override the order. So that's going to happen a THIRD time? You know, we taxpayers are paying for this.
How in the name of Apollo is four to six weeks enough time to tear down the plans of a whole rocket, troubleshoot and test all the systems, devise and test the solutions to any found problems, commit to the solutions, then building a new rocket?
Why hasn't anyone hacked SpaceX and Starlink yet?
Where are the worlds great hackers?
Someone should shut down Starlink for good.
Along with all musks other corrupt nazi businesses.
Musk is the ultimate Illegal immigrant, the apartheid nazi himself.
Biggest thief of US taxpayer money in history!
What's the environmental damage for all of these break-ups in the atmosphere? How much of this will rain down on populated areas, causing long-term sickness? If NASA had done any of this, they would have halted all launches until investigations uncovered the issue. Not for fElon of course.
That’s not true. Look, the guy is a Nazi. It shouldn’t matter if experimental rockets fail or succeed. He’s still a Nazi, either way, and he’s been working with the conman from Mar a Lago to dismantle the federal civil service, foreign aid, and scientific research for weeks.
Your tax dollars at work - the Ketamine Kid is having fun blowing up billions of dollars, not just the rocket itself, but everything else that goes with it, and we're paying for it, because SpaceX has very lucrative government contracts.. how many of these things does he have?
Can't wait for the story out of SpaceX about how Musk pushes to cut every corner, about how engineers are made to work impossible hours to meet impossible deadlines, and everyone is too afraid to speak up about problems-- you know, exactly like he runs DOGE
Elon—the motha fuckin Nazi bitch CEO—is selling snake oil with his “Mars colonization” idea. There is ZERO fucking chance humans will ever live on Mars before we destroy Earth. Don’t buy what he is selling. #fuckelon #naziCEO
Crazy how these assholes want to turn Mars into earth, instead of preventing earth getting turned into Mars. And the insanity gets support. What an insane timeline we're living in.
Exactly. Because a spacecraft with big enough solar panels to get to Mars is unworkable, much less one that could carry enough food and water. That's what I've read.
Maybe they should ground all flights around Florida and the Caribbean during this launch. And people in the area should take shelter in their bomb shelters they don’t have.

maybe a big piece will fall on maralagos. one can hope

So pretty, the sparklies.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Fuck Elon!

So progress isn't measured by competence, planning, and successful results? Just time? Fascinating.
Measuring progress by time is certainly one way to extend those contracts.
Yeah, that kind of irresponsibility tracks for Musk.
Far less likely to blow up the atmosphere like a poorly written Bond villain.
Period.
We lost 1 Apollo craft in 1967 during testing.
And 1 aborted mission.
Elon is going to get someone killed.
NASA would've been sunk on the third explosion.
2nd: Fraud
3rd: Abuse
