A lot of ignorant posts in this thread.
This was the FIRST test launch. It’s called R&D for a reason (research and development) for those who don’t know.
Musk literally said he would be happy if it didn’t blow up on the launch pad. Some of the engines didn’t even cut on.
They will take the data from this and fix shyt. And do it over and over and over again until it’s perfected.
And it blew up because the auto self destruct engaged. They just built the largest rocket in human history and launched it. That’s a feet in itself.
Do y’all even know how many rockets NASA crashed in the beginning or when Space X first launched
Rocket science is as old as airplanes.
You act like this is some new technology.
The Boer said we would be launching manned Mars missions this year but here he is blowing up rockets on the launch pad.
It’s like some of y’all want to be conned.
