    First rule of rocketry, always assume it will explode.

      This was a test run not too far from the real launch. This was not one of those launches where they expected a massive explosion from testing.

      If we killed all billionaires now, only more would rise in their place. We need to fix the system that bred these people.

        When i see bezos and musk, specifically those two fucks, I don’t see any problem in them flying to apace on Spaceship or New Glenn.

        Just imagine burning bezos flying through the air in a livestream. I would pay to watch that!

    Scott Manley has a couple of things to say about the fallout. It’s not good.

      Nobody was hurt. As a general rule nobody fuels a rocket without planning as if it’s going to explode in exactly this fashion. The pad didn’t survive, but nobody was anywhere near this thing when it blew up

          Yes, and they have a plan for what happens if the rocket explodes. It wouldn’t be completely safe against an explosion this intense, but the dragon capsule (like all manned vehicles, aside from the very notable exception of the space shuttle) can eject itself from the rocket to protect the crew from explosions

        Well, there’s “as a general rule” and then there’s “A billionaire wanted to save a negligible amount of money”, I personally assume the latter when talking about these parasites
