At this point I’d expect some brain leak from SpaceX. For some, no amount of money is enough to continue to work for a company associated to that toxic twat.

They don’t pay that well.

I’ve been wondering why they don’t blow up more regularly. I imagine a few long range sniper shots would make them explode easily. They should be relatively easy to hit, seeing how big they are.

They never even made it to the launch.

Unplanned rapid disassembly?

Ive only ever heard from third parties that spaceX sucks to work for because they way over work you. Idk if thats actually true. But this kind of thing makes me wonder…
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’ve heard the same. I’m sure it certainly doesn’t help, but I think also what they’re trying to do is really difficult

Fairly sure they “saved” hundreds of thousands in wages only to lose millions to billions in material. An engineer working 80 hour weeks month after month isn’t nearly going to be as productive as one doing 40hr weeks, no matter how many hours they put out. There’s actually a point where it turns negative and every extra hour put in detracts from output, not to mention long-time wellbeing and development.

I now have the Street Fighter voice in my head going:
“Honda Wins!”
For the killjoy that will come pointing out that SpaceX is at another level of development etc., yes, I know that. Japan also has a constitution written by the US that doesn’t permit them to have long-range missiles.

Hardly. Honda have just replicated what Falcon 9 has been doing every week for years.

Here comes the killjoy!

oh no! anyway…

That’s better efficiency. It gets to the blowing up part faster than before

Getting it out of the way so the engineers can enjoy the long weekend.
pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 day ago
What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn’t believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees.
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Nah, their rocket blowed up. It’s time to get stinko!
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 day ago
If I worked building rockets for him, I’d make sure they didn’t lift off too.

Well at least it was a decent looking explosion?

Iterations are getting more frequent, which is a good sign, right? Right?

Musk’s starships are blowing up like his reputation 😂

Is the bee okay?

At least they didn’t wreck (more of) the environment and nearly down passenger planes with this one.
Progress!

Rocket fuel is toxic. Don’t cook with it. Don’t touch or breathe it. Don’t even look at it.
Once it’s burned it’s mostly safe, aside from the usual problems with combustion products.
