Bad Starship launch today (non SpaceX assessment)

1. Eloon's gadgets fail again...for the richest guy in the world he sure has a lot of flops...

Lucky he inherited that emerald mine (not really the source of his fortune, he coded software and earned money that way)...

5. He bought other people's work with

the fruits of stolen South African labor. Capitalism at its essence.

I doubt if his tech skills are more than base-level grad school.

2. Looked pretty successful

It was able to accomplish it's primary mission of getting into the proper suborbit and releasing it's payload. The starship itself got through it's extreme stress testing unscathed. The new launch tower worked fine. It's with the reusability and relaunch abilities that gave it trouble and those are important goals to meet for it's mission.

Overall the Starship is trying to make breakthroughs that no one else has done before which is amazing.

3. I thought the launch and the starship portion

was pretty good. Just the boaster took a crap.

Figures crossed for success in the future. I am a lover of space so that is what I am rooting for.

4. Better they have the problems now before they put people

on the Starship.

6. Disappointed

I clicked it, expecting a starship lunch. Very much wanted to see the Cake of Trek.

Booo.
