I expected it to blow up at Max Q, honestly. And fact that it didn't break apart during those unanticipated flips is amazing. I can't even begin to imagine the stress that put both vehicles under.

I actually thought it would explode as it was doing its first 'spin.' Not sure how it survived that, or the second one. They aren't designed to survive that type of centripetal stress.

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly is an OUTSTANDING phrase.

I kind of love that Starhopper is going to just sit there and take all of this abuse. It'll be a great reminder someday of all the work that went into getting the real thing done.

What could not be immediately discerned from the ground is that a handful of the Super Heavy first stage's 33 Raptor engines failed in the early moments of the flight. After about two minutes, more engines failed. Before the end, when the rocket reached a peak altitude just short of 40 km, as many as eight engines appeared to have gone out. As you said DaFace, that's not a good number.

How about the James Web Space Telescope causing all of our best scientists to question the theory of the Big Bang; it seems that, again, what the consensus believed about a popular theory is going to require some rethinking.
The science is not, and by the definition of science, ever settled. |
