Summary
SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft exploded in space minutes after launching from Texas, marking the second consecutive failure this year.
The rocket spun uncontrollably before breaking apart, with debris seen over Florida and the Bahamas. The cause remains unclear, though multiple engines shut down before contact was lost.
The failure raises concerns about setbacks in Elon Musk’s Mars rocket program. The FAA temporarily halted flights at major Florida airports due to falling debris.
A similar Starship failure in January scattered wreckage over the Caribbean.
This is not news
Wake me up when a space ship does not explode, so that for once SpaceX crew will not be cheering
Reminder that SpaceX is owned and run by scammer Nazi Elmo Musk who literally lies about everything. Musk is gutting government subsiding everywhere yet SpaceX floats on billions of dollars to blow up rockets. Waste? Naaahh.
Fuck SpaceX, its a scam just as the rest of Elmo
It’s news because it’s dropping hazardous material over populated areas.
Waitwaitwait, you’re telling me Elon Musk runs SpaceX???
Friend I get what you’re saying but this newest explosion is quite literally news, and pretty much everyone here knows that it is news that affects the asshole raping our country right now, which is why it is such newsy news. So I am not sure what your point is.
