Just heard on the Ytube that another Space X "Starship" just exploded in a static launch pad test...

No passengers but Musk and his companies continue to be big losers....(maybe except for Starlink)....

That is his mantra.

He did it to our government and he will do it to everything he has a hand in.

He believes he is a visionary, the superior human being who is always right. The One who will lead mankind into the future.

If folks suffer, what does that matter in the arc of history? His vision must be fulfilled.

for a static fire test. Explosion appeared to originate in the upper section of the vehicle.

This has huge implications as it also appears to have destroyed the launch tower and surrounding facilities.

For some reason however, I'm feeling a strange sense of satisfaction...

I used to give the Space-X employee's a pass ... after all what high-tech CEO isn't a complete jerk? But after the last few months, I have nothing but disdain for anyone working at Space-X or for Musk in any capacity.
