Starship Flight 7

"rapid unscheduled disassembly"

they did it!

"Rapid unscheduled disassembly"

@elonmusk Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity.

Apart from obviously double-checking for leaks, we will add fire suppression to that volume and probably increase vent area. Nothing so far suggests pushing next launch past next month.

Musk've had Cybertruck QA team on this one.

Musk is going to end up killing a lot of people unintentionally.

Can someone tell me what's the point of all this? To export capitalism outside of solar system?

beautiful although one wonders what they're trying to escape

Every one of these are like right out of a sci-fi novel. It makes me truly excited for our future in a way little else out there does.

Between this, AI (even in its current LLM form), and mounting evidence suggesting the entire solar system is teeming with at least microbial life, we are going to become an interplanetary species far sooner than many “skeptics” imagine.

We are just one more lander / sample mission / whatever away from having solid proof of life elsewhere in the solar system. That is gonna jumpstart all a huge race to get humans out into deep space to check it all out.

People worry about AI stealing their jobs… don’t worry. We need that stuff so humans can focus on the next phase of our history… becoming interplanetary. Your kids will be traveling to space and these (very overhyped, don’t get me wrong) LLM’s will be needed for all kinds of tasks.

It sounds crazy but I maintain it’s true and will happen sooner than you’d think.

Hi there

I like how chopsticks catch (a very impressive feat) completely distracts everyone from totally fucked timeline and already spent budget on mars mission. Its like any criticism is being drowned in loud cheers. Only time will tell, but I hope I will be wrong on this one

4M viewers. comparable to top politics events.

ship looks to be lost. this was the main part, so it's almost complete failure.

Starship test successfull: - engineers did that Starship explodes: - Musk's failure!
