SpaceX Starship Launch "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly"

Post by SlipperyStream47 »

I watched Starship's launch live this morning. It was electrifying to watch...until 4 minutes after liftoff, it went into a spin and experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." :laughroll: That was pretty entertaining. At any rate, this was certainly one pretty large albeit wobbly leap for humanity.

If they had had people on board they would certainly have got away from it all, including all other parts of themselves.

Well NASA is still in the lead for the Moon.

I personally like the whole race for the Moon Part 2.

Maybe I will get to see a man on the Moon in my lifetime.

I've already seen that. I was born in 1965, Graham was born in 1969 and only narrowly avoided being called Neil :)
