We've been expecting Starship to explode on the pad at some point, and that just happened. Not sure how much fuel was in it, but it seems to have pretty well demolished the launch facility. Hope no one was caught in the blast.

(Edit: Apparently explosion was at a test site some distance from the actual launch facility, where accidents are not unexpected. An opportunity to collect data on conditions that cause the entire rocket to explode.)

SpaceX’s Ship 36 explodes on the ground

«Move fast and break things», could easily become the «infinite monkey theorem».

Still holding my breath for #NASA to announce delays to the #Artemis program due to #SpaceX failure to meet schedule milestones.

Well, c'mon now, let's forget Moon-landing and such trivialities and move straight to colonizing Mars. What could possibly go wrong?

Would you not trust billionaires with your life?
