This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
So maybe working your engineers 24 hours a day isn't a great idea?
So you're saying this was an extremely hardcore explosion?
HARDCORE TO THE MEGA
Oof
Word on the street is that Starship was going to blow the whistle on Boeing.
In the early days of Starship I was a little bit optimistic. The "move fast and break things" strategy had quickly succeeded when SpaceX was trying to land boosters, so I was hopeful that each exploding Starship was one step closer to a working spacecraft.
But at this point it's just sad. I don't see anything resembling progress.
I think the boosters were a "fake it till we make it" thing that luckily worked out. I don't think Starship will ever make it into space.
Also this is just an engine test at McGregor. They used to blow them up much more often as they were finding the limits. Nowadays it's much less common, hence why it's news when they broke one.
