Nearly two months after an explosion sent flaming debris raining down on the Turks and Caicos, SpaceX launched another mammoth Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact minutes into the test flight as the spacecraft came tumbling down.

I hope he gets Trump to go up in a Starship.
You build a rocket that can do better please. Show him how it's done.

He'll probably blame it on DEI

Musk won't give you a doublewide either.

He literally also is making manufactured homes now

We should go back to funding transgender rockets and feces art and calling that a success.

feces art…
If that is a thing, I may have created a masterpiece.
I hear that it just missed Mar-a-Lago. Rats!
Oh yeah, what a loser. From 2011 to May 2020 the US was totally dependent on Russia to shuttle people and supplies to and from the International Space Station. Elon Musk singlehandedly changed that.
I know you think that isn't a big deal, so imagine this: in 2022, Putin waited until the crew up there were running low on supplies and then invaded Ukraine. Then he threatened to cut off US access, since in this scenario SpaceX wasn't around. It would've been politically unthinkable for Biden to just let a couple American astronauts die in space, their bodies unrecoverable for possibly years, so Putin might've strongarmed Biden to sign an agreement not to give Ukraine weapons. Poof, Ukraine loses within 18 months.
And how about Starlink? I live out in the boonies, but Starlink gives me reliable wi-fi (save during intense storms or hurricanes, and even then the outages don't last all that long). There's no other option as good as it for where I live, and the same is true for maybe a couple million other customers.
And it was true for Ukraine in 2022; there was no available alternative to Starlink at the time. The tens of thousands of units shipped have proven crucial to their national defense, thus to the security of Western democracies at large. At the height of the Mariupol siege in 2022, the defenders' only way of communicating with the outside world was through a Starlink terminal. And yes, I'm sure you'll moan endlessly about that one time Musk briefly flipped the switch, giving no credit to all of the other countless times Starlink did its job as advertised. Again, Musk didn't buy SpaceX from someone else; he built it, and by extension Starlink, from the ground up.

They just need something to sperg off on, it doesn't matter that it was a test rocket and that many times they purposely blow up test rockets to establish safe operating limits. That's why it's a "test rocket"
There's not many left on the left that are free from brainrot.
But some people see an explosion on libtard corporate news and assume it’s just a total disaster, without understanding that testing is all about finding and fixing weaknesses.
As for the broader point, it does feel like a lot of people these days are more interested in dunking on things than actually understanding them. Nuance is in short supply. Bunch of people on this site that pretend to know science and technology and don't care if called out on it.
