At least the rest of the booster is unharmed
They will learn from this failure.
no fatalities = a goodDay (Y)
N1 of America!
Twitter's plan to sell a shit company chocked full of bots to Elon.
Watch the long version. Post anomaly, It looks like they lost ground control of ability to de-tank. Either they blew the switching control or the aft lox fill umbilical itself. It appears they are dumping raw lox through the mains and then that caused another propellant fire along the cross deck feed lines. What a disaster. That launch mount steel will have cracks wide enough to stick your finger in. FAA approves these Space-drunk-cowboys ? We’ll need more cash, boss.
STRONG!!!!
That is the sound of the preparation of progress.
@ 1:15 is that a bird or a butterfly?
Перший блин завжди комом
Ahahhahaha lol, I remember that the head of Roscosmos said "let them fly on their brooms" it seems to be becoming true
It was a big BOOM
У ракеты просто несварение желудка…
Rocket flying is basically having such blasts countinuously, in the right time and the right place.
Did the concentrated fumes and lack of oxygen cause this explosion? What I found curious is, the upper portion of the rocket released a cloud of smoke at the same time as the explosion. Watch it again and look towards the upper portion, is that a weak seam? Is that showing another questionable problem? Remember when the Challenger launched you could see a puff of black smoke of the weak O-ring that failed causing the disaster that soon followed.
This is why it's a test
Made in China
LOT OF DEBERY!***8888***
Too much weight, too large to be functional even if successfully iñ orbit
Should of use electric
That explosion could be traced back to a diversity hire.
Great fire suppression system
They should learn to work first
Something something environment something
Bam. Was that 33 raptors merely burping?
NasaSpaceFlight got the best angles of b7 explosion video out there. Labpadre was behind the SpaceX crane lol.
Amazing the force of that, looked like about 3 engines tried to light.
Couldn't happen to a better company.
Well technically its a bfr with a big bang to back it up k
Almost looked like an intentional safety test.
Good! All we need now are 1500 of those mini explosions to align in sequence. Mars, here we go!
Cool.
fucking insane
Damn! We have been waiting over a year to see it launch. Obviously better now than when it launches, but daaaaamn!
This is what happens to evil people who promote freedom of speech.
If you look back to the beginnings of NASA, it was supposed to be civilian run. But none of the Aerospace Companies would risk it. So to keep JFK happy the Government took it over.
Finally some new SpaceX-explosions. I was missing these really much
Not in my state, (Unspecified). All solar dealers refuse to sell, they only 25 year lease, take all the benefits, leaving the home owner with the frustration of a lowered resale value. Since the seller keeps all the rebates there is no choice other than to pay the Lease Fees. No such thing as free. The home owner gets no rebates, no discounted (sell back options.)
Kerbal Space Program

Nice, Musk. Explosion was great. Show must go on.
This would have been embarrassing if this was an actual launch attempt…
You have to blow up a few to get that sweet sweet insurance money.
Its fun to see that the folks at Space X grapple with decades old technology.
That's the sound that comes from my house after eating enchiladas….
I don't think a rocket engine is supposed to detonate.
This is why they have road closures
It’s terrifying that that’s Just a taste if it’s power, imagine all those engines with a starship ontop with cargo or 100 crew onboard. This is a true symbol and what people will remember about the early 21st century. None of those dinky pods.
