Well no one was hurt so thats a big bonus. It must be galling for US taxpayers who are paying for this shit show.
Maybe theu should restrict these pointless launches in case the debris falls on someones head ?
Lets hope its an illegal.

This is Starship, which is not actually in service for anything yet and undergoing test flights.

SpaceX is using the iterative failure method to develop Starship, same as it used for the Falcon series.

Are you talking about how SpaceX is paid to launch US payloads? because that is the Falcon rocket series, not Starship.

Taxpayers gave Musk billions to develop his chronically exploding rocket.

When Musk steps foot on Mars one day and propagates the planet with his offspring, he will drink your tears of hatred!

They are guarenteed to crash. I dont understand. Nasa cracked this in the 60s. What is so diffficult ?

Nope. Those are contracts for Lunar landers under development under the Artemis program.

SpaceX Starship - Wikipedia

As part of the development of the Human Landing System for the Artemis program, SpaceX was awarded in April 2021 a $2.89 billion fixed-price contract from NASA to develop the Starship lunar lander for Artemis III.[275][276] Blue Origin, a bidding competitor to SpaceX, disputed the decision and began a legal case against NASA and SpaceX in August 2021, causing NASA to suspend the contract for three months until the case was dismissed in the Court of Federal Claims.[277][278][279] Two years later Blue Origin was awarded a $3.4 billion fixed-price contract for its lunar lander.[280]

In 2022, NASA awarded SpaceX a $1.15 billion fixed-price contract for a second lunar lander for Artemis IV.[276] The same year, SpaceX was awarded a $102 million five-year contract to develop the Rocket Cargo program for the United States Space Force.[281]

This rocket is bigger and more powerful than the Saturn rockets, and will be partially re-usable.

Again, this is a rocket UNDER DEVELOPMENT you fucking limey retard.

It’s the same rocket. They’re using government money to launch these rockets.

DOGE needs to end the contract and get our taxpayer money back.

No, they are using their own money, the government contract is for a lander to be used with Starship.

There’s no lander without the rest of starship, so we are paying for it.

DOge was set up to channel money to Musk not stop it.

There will be a lander.

Starship will work by the time NASA needs it. Artemis is already behind schedule.

What good is a lander with no way to get it to the moon?

I swear. The starship HLS is the dumbest fucking contract NASA has ever made. We could have done so much actual science with that $3 billion.

Imagine if the world was run by people who were afraid to fail, like you? We wouldn't have progressed past the caves.

Stay in your cave, Neanderthal.

Your problem is that you don't understand much at all about anything really.

The reason NASA is using Musk is because he can do things so much more economically feasible and in less time as he is free from the dead weight of government bureaucracy.

I even know a guy who worked on the Shuttle back in the day. He said that the technology they were using was a decade old and was not really surprised that one of the Shuttles exploded with fatalities on board.

Tommy and his left wing loons were once celebrating Musk with his EV's and now they burn them.

Funny that.

Because it was supposed to work the first time? You do realize throughout history this is how innovations have been created, right? Do you think the Wright Brothers just built a plane and it flew?

Whether or not taxpayers should be subsidizing these innovations is a fair question, but it seems rather hypocritical to see a bunch of leftists criticizing this when they've been raising hell over Trump wanting to cancel research funding for Harvard. Do you want the federal government funding research and development or not? At least be consistent.

Let me see. Was this the first flight?

This was the 9th time.
