It's like watching Wiley Coyote trying to catch the Roadrunner.

They push the envelope. These are all test flights with brand new technology so they are expecting many big booms.

That is a shit ton of excuse making.

At least people aren't dying.

I think what SpaceX is doing is cool... Just seems like I see a lot of video of their rockets blowing up.

On a separate note, I've never seen a launch.  I'd like to one day.

i had to laugh at "rapid unplanned disassembly."

it's still weird to me that there isn't a launch tower. reminds me of those old mercury redstone rockets in the early days of nasa.

those landings are just just plain sexy. well,except for the blowing up rapid unplanned disassembly part.

What does Albert Pujols' career have to do with SpaceX?

Man, @Tank I think you've had too many of those pumpkin beers.

If they know how the rapid unplanned disassembly occurs, then they just need to do the opposite.

SN11 heading out to the launch site.

That rocket looks like a grain silo on a farm.  I keep waiting for a cow to walk in front of it.

It looks like something out of a 1950's b film.

absolutely agree with both accounts. the first time i saw it i thought we were being trolled. "no, come on, that thing?? where's the REAL rocket?"

I said the same thing, and I think it was Lhalo that pointed out that this is only part of the rocket.  This is only the final stage or something like that.

This is just to test the flaps and landing capabilities. The final product will have a booster (middle of the picture).

Starship SN11 just blew up in flight. 

[gotbeer]

That doesn't sound like a step in the right direction.

Just found this video of SN11.  From NASASpaceflight.com.  Go to 2 hours 44 minutes.  Geeks getting a hard on.

Not space X.  But what goes up, must come down.

Rocket debris from China's space station launch is falling back to Earth — but where?

 

 

[T.G.]

The debris from that space station is headed for the elbows of Angels' pitchers and hitters.
