"SpaceX lança missão ViaSat-3 Americas! Elon Musk atualiza sobre a missão AX-2!"
A transmissão começou há 16 minutos. A SpaceX tem como objetivo lançar o foguete Falcon Heavy com a missão ViaSat-3 Americas em órbita geoestacionária a partir do Complexo de Lançamento 39A (LC-39A) no Centro Espacial Kennedy da NASA, na Flórida. Também a bordo desta missão estão o primeiro satélite MicroGEO da Astranis e o satélite GS-1 da Gravity Space.

SpaceX Starship Launch: The Future of Space Exploration
SpaceX, the pioneering space exploration company founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk, has been making waves in the industry with its innovative and ambitious projects. One of its most exciting ventures is the Starship program, which aims to create a reusable spacecraft capable of taking humans to the moon, Mars, and beyond. Recently, SpaceX successfully conducted a Starship launch, marking a…
Yeah you don't need a flame diverter. Fuck that shit. Oh, for anyone that doesn't know what the super wise Elon Musk is talking about here when you have a MASSIVE rocket shooting out so much fire that it lifts itself into space that energy needs to go somewhere.
Here's a good demonstration:

Anyway, Elon is smart! He bought a degree in engineering or something because it's more efficient than actually going to college and learning things!
So he knows he doesn't need that shit.
Oh.
Okay so there was a teeeeeny little bit of damage. That doesn't look too bad. Wait are those stairs on the left? They are. Okay so there's a kinda big crater.
Wait.
Where did two stories worth of stuff go?
Well, here's a video of shit flying up and almost destroying the rocket, watch from about +0.06 to +0.09 to see enormous concrete chunks making it halfway up the booster.
Also it was raining concrete nearby. So uh. That's cool.

The weirdest thing about the SpaceX Starship failure is that it brings a lot of the craziness of aerospace into the public eye so people are focusing on unusual parts of the failure. Like please make fun of this launch, it’s hilarious and Musk sucks, but like. Why it was bad is more complex than just “it blew up” (even tho that’s kinda fun to poke fun at still).
Rapid unscheduled disassembly really kinda is a industry term (which is hilarious). Rockets are expected to blow up on first launch (which is kinda fucked). The fact that the rocket cleared the pad and made MAX-Q means that yes, it technically was a success (expectations are still that low for first launches lol. NASA Artemis SLS not blowing up earlier this year was honestly surprising).
Destroying your launch pad as part of the launch however?? Much less normal, much more bad than having boosters lose directional control causing a self-destruct. It causes WAY more unplanned money loss and damage to surroundings, and it’s not a “oops something went wrong” failure; it’s a “this will happen every time unless you change things” failure. Which. Means it’s really preventable. And should not happen. (And also loses Musk a lot more money than the expected loss of the rocket lol). Rocket explosion is more flashy, but that crater needs to be brought way more into the spotlight.
Awesome slowmo sped up 8x remix of spaceX and NO! The thing that is caught zooming above the cameras is NOT a UAP/UFO. Remember what we said, video is sped up slow MO remix at 8x.
