GREAT WORK MISTER MUSK!

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:

youtube

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.

Great job Elon. Amazing work.

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…

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.

#spacex #starship #elon musk #pausing my fandom content for a rocketry rant #tbh the memes and jokes are iconic #really did blow up in spectacular way #so weird seeing a launch so focused on by the public eye #sucks that Musk is the reason why #i have thoughts

SpaceX Launches Starship Rocket Into Space on 3rd Test Flight

SpaceX's Starship megarocket, the world's largest and most powerful rocket, reached orbital speed for the first time Thursday in a historic third test flight from South Texas.

Hundreds of Spring Break spectators, rocket launch chasers and SpaceX fans gathered along the southern shores of South Padre Island and surrounding areas to witness the third test flight of the biggest rocket ever built. About 5 miles (8 kilometers) south of the crowds, SpaceX's massive Starship vehicle lifted off this morning (March 14) at 9:25 a.m. EDT (1325 GMT) from the company's manufacturing and test launch facilities near Boca Chica Beach.

"Starship reached orbital velocity," SpaceX founder Elon Musk announced on X (formerly Twitter) after liftoff. "Congratulations SpaceX team!!" The launch occurred on the 22nd anniversary of SpaceX's founding in 2002, the company said.

Neither the Starship vehicle nor its Super Heavy booster survived all the way through to their intended splashdown, but SpaceX officials said the test flight achieved several of its key goals during the flight.

POV you're on the Perihelion's Space Tindr profile and it's making you pass a quiz about identifying Space OSHA hazard warning signage with a score of at least 90% before you can swipe right.

#murderbot #i've elected to lean in to the ARTfucker bit it's a good bit #check the image alt text to review some hazard warning signs! edumacational!#i know it can't be on Space Tindr because its existence is a secret and that's very sad for it #risking it all for that stussy (starship pussy)#jury's still out on what precisely stussy entails but that's half the fun #i did like the tag on my last shitpost someone added about the debris deflector array being its dick #ART will call it anything except a rail gun i swear #yeah babe what if i disrupted your structural integrity with a tungsten rod launched at Mach 7 haha just kidding...unless?

Hot Staging

Allegedly, Starship's next test flight will see the upper stage engines ignite while the booster is still attached. The plume is meant to escape through slots cut into the interstage.

I prefer the clean, bold look of the first shot, but the alternate one strikes me as a bit more likely...
