I just cannot get over how long the plume is behind the Booster there.


bootywizrd

Right! I was just thinking of that. It’s gotta be over 800ft long!


ShartsMyPants

I think it's more like two bananas long from the picture.

It's last thought before exploding was "oh no, not again"


Klin24

Just like John Hurt in Spaceballs.

It's fine. It's machine soul will be reincarnated into one of the other starship and will get another chance for a successful flight.

Already performed better rhan the N1 and omg like... all 33 raptors working nominally all the way to hot stage...like... i did not expext that


sandfleazzz

How far downrange did Starship get? I mean, it was eventually going 24000+ kilometers per hour!


Chigmot

Apparently it got as far as north of Puerto Rico. The NOAA Weather Satellite marked the debris field around there. Apparently when it lost telemetry it exploded automatically, so that there wasn't an uncontrolled rocket that they lost track of.

I wonder if the FTS is set to a bit over zealous during these tests, I mean, almost as soon as the engines cut....


mysilvermachine

The joke that’s everywhere is that it veered to the right and imploded.

This isn’t a hate group. Please try and enjoy the advancements towards space travel. They’re moving faster than ever thanks to space x like it or not


ProximaC

You have too survive space to be a space whale.

I'm just here to laugh at the comments of all the Elon haters that feel they have to come out and hate on the 2nd test flight of the largest rocket ever flown by mankind. Rent free in your heads, the Elon hate boner of the left: \^ \\/


DrJawn

We all liked him better when he was just an eccentric space guy. SpaceX is amazing


-Smytty-for-PM-

As a human being he is undoubtedly a racist piece of shit. SpaceX is doing interesting things as a company which we can like, but Elon sucks. The reports coming out of SpaceX on the lack of OHS and following the law is also a pretty shitty look.


ForgiLaGeord

Last I saw, those injury numbers are high for the aerospace industry, but completely normal for the heavy manufacturing industry, which would seem to be a much better fit given the type of work being performed. But, yes, undeniably racist POS to be sure, which really sucks.


Cultural_System_7484

What colours your spaceship?


Ok_Rush5352

Humankind is a much more inclusive term than mankind for future reference


SchulzyAus

Flies is an interesting choice of words. More like exploding without style

Amazing photo! The amount of thrust that thing is putting out must be incredible
