@TMZ That’s not a failure it’s SpaceX intentionally pushing the rocket to its limits to gather critical data and accelerate the next iteration toward reliable spaceflight. 🚀
@TMZ It turned into a massive fireball after someone at SpaceX said. ‘Test complete, Blow it up’. Just like every other test. This one just had better views. Nice clickbait though. Perfect for for TMZ.
@TMZ love how they deflect and say it was planned.. Are you serious.. If it was planned where are all these environmental groups and laws that protect our oceans. Seems like it would be harmful to the biolife
@TMZ Seeing a whole rocket turn into a fireball is still crazy every single time
But with Elon Musk and SpaceX, even the explosions somehow end up being part of the process.
@TMZ people in these comments are so retarded the expect something the size of a building that just came from the other side of the earth through re entry to land in the water and not explode when it tips over theres no way you people are that dumb
@TMZ It's not "Elon Musk's" rocket.
It's also not called "Elon Musk's SpaceX Rocket"
It's called Starship.
The explosion is not planned, but expected. And the least important part of the whole 1+ hour mission.
Yet another clickbait headline...
@TMZ In modern space engineering, controlled failures and planned explosions can still provide valuable data for improving future launches.
And rocket testing often looks dramatic because aerospace companies intentionally push systems to their limits during development
