    SpaceX landing gone bad

    From yesterday. Go to 1:54:40 for the explosion. This is a test of one of the return to earth rockets for SpaceX. It doesn't return to good.

    "...if everything goes well then we will see Starship SN8 fly to an altitude of 12.5 km (41,000 feet) and attempt a record-setting "landing flip maneuver" on its way back to the base in Boca Chica, TX."

    "After a successful launch, the Starship rose and successfully maneuvered its way to the landing area. However, it appeared that the spacecraft didn't slow down enough for a proper landing, and it exploded in thrilling fashion. The moment recalls the many attempts we saw of Falcon 9 landings that didn't quite work out until, of course, they did."

    "On the live feed, SpaceX said the test was successful..."

    I saw that on the news yesterday. All I could say was one really big "ooops". Elon had a really good attitude that was really the reason why he is so successful...he treats his employees with hope and respect.
