Starship UNSCHEDULED TOTAL DISASSEMBLY illustration
BREAKING: In another spectacular double failure, both the first and second stages of the world’s largest rocket ever exploded after launch some minutes apart, raining millions of pieces of toxic debris over hundreds of square miles of the Gulf of Mexico.
Luckily on this occasion the ‘Masterpiece of US Ingenuity’ was flying empty, although any brave US astronauts could have reached as far as somewhere in the Bahamas or even Puerto Rico, if they could have ejected before the whole contraption burst into smithereens of fiery exploding toxic trash.
Saturday’s demo lasted eight or so minutes, about twice as long as the first test in April, which also unfortunately ended in an explosion. The latest flight came to an end as the ship’s engines were almost done firing to put it on an around-the-world path.
At nearly 400 feet (121 meters), Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, with the goal of ferrying people to the moon and Mars.
You can watch the historic moment Starship explodes again in UNSCHEDULED TOTAL DISASSEMBLY
The latest débacle follows the explosion of the Minuteman 111 US Nuclear Missile Test (without its bombs) on Nov 1st 2023. Anti nuclear heroes celebrated that perhaps the US Nuclear Arsenal will not work, saving the planet! Alas, with THOUSANDS of thermonuclear warheads under Biden’s thumb, if just 1% actually work they would murder us all.
Dear NASA. could you point out to your technical wizards that your landing gear looks only suitable for FLAT GROUND. The moon’s surface is reportably quite bumpy, looks like your rocket might just fall over, and anti-American traitors might laugh at you..
‘SpaceX‘s main goal for Saturday’s explosive launch was to achieve separation and prove “hot staging” works’. The Starship mega-rocket achieved another major milestone in both getting ‘VERY HOT‘ and successfully ‘SEPARATING‘ into myriad ‘multiple autonomous modules‘. 18/11/23

Within a few seconds, the booster exploded. “That was another billion $ wrinkle SpaceX will have to iron out since it wants to land its Super Heavy boosters in one rather than a million pieces for reuse”.
The Starship module , however, kept trucking toward space — until….. something tragic happened….
that’s all folks…

Cool story, bro.
Of course, microplastics are now endemic, and are existing by the billions in every living thing on the planet, with repercussions unknown. But Ms. Thunberg’s problem with Big Oil isn’t about plastics; it’s about the four million metric tons of excess CO2 the burning of those fossil fuels injects into the atmosphere every single hour of every single day.
Four. Millions. Tons. Every Hour.
