It's the latest in a string of setbacks for the mega-rocket, which SpaceX hopes to use to build Starlink and one day go to Mars.

    I think Honda has begun building spaceships/rockets too. Think they chose to build the type that don’t explode. link

      We shouldn’t be building rockets PERIOD. They cost too much and are eventually only going to serve trillionaires.

      FIX SHIT ON THE GROUND FIRST

      That said,

      They did a test from 300 meters, sure it’s cool but I think they have a LONG way to go before they are competetive.

        If you like SatNav, accurate weather tracking, and advanced intercontinental communication then ya like rockets ya dipshit.

        While Id be the first to ban private rocket launches outright, we shouldn’t abandon the advances of the space age because of them.

      Musk is going to be PISSED when he finds out there is no bureau of physics he can subsume or destroy from within. I believe one Rush Stockton came to a similar conclusion, if he indeed had time for that conclusion to even form before perishing.

    I now have the Street Fighter voice in my head going:

    “Honda Wins!”

    For the killjoy that will come pointing out that SpaceX is at another level of development etc., yes, I know that. Japan also has a constitution written by the US that doesn’t permit them to have long-range missiles.

    Was he on it? If he was this is a complete success.

    If he wasn’t.

    Better luck next time I guess?

      Elon is stupid, but I’m thinking he’s not so stupid as to board one of his own rockets.

          I mean, I wouldn’t either. I wouldn’t want to risk death. He knows it’s not risk-free.

    He excels at burning hunks of metal at extremely high temperatures. I thought the Cybertruck was the pinnacle but alas.

    At least they didn’t wreck (more of) the environment and nearly down passenger planes with this one.

    Progress!
