Elon's New Starship Takes Off & Explodes

The new spacecraft had some teething issues. Half the rockets didn't fire up, but it will be the largest spacecraft ever and will significantly lower the cost of bringing cargo to space...returning man to the Moon. It has enough capacity to deliver the current ISS in one shipment. Impressive.

Curious to see how much today's test launch cost, and if anything was salvageable.

The engines were salvaged intact. With all experiments there is much to be learned by failure. The next iteration is being readied.

Yes, you can draw everything up on the computer and run simulations for years, but you are always going to find out something when you finally fire up that bad boy.
