SpaceX Starship 9 breaking apart
- Thread starter rockytopva
- Start date
Engineers wondering why does Starship keep exploding? “I’m not surprised that they are having these issues,” says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer and astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. That doesn’t mean those issues will perpetuate forever, however. “They will probably eventually get Starship working, but it is going to take a lot longer than they are thinking, because it is such a step forward,” he says.- Why does SpaceX's Starship keep exploding?

Engineering product design is an iterative, refining activity. It is for the same basic reason that the inadequately-tested covid mRNA drugs - not only new drug products but a new technology - saw the drug industry and their bioengineering throw caution to the winds. And now it is no surprise that the dark side of the 2020 hype is surfacing.
It is for the same reason that Boeing will be having 787 Dreamliner crashes, or near-crashes, because of their incomplete product development process in engineering design. Having acceptable product development processes in engineering matter. At a larger scope, these are a few of the symptoms of the ongoing crash of Western civilization.

Musk has gotten too impatient and now blows them up *before* the flight starts.
I'm sorry, McDowell, what "step forward"? Even as designed, it can't make it to the Moon on a single launch and require refueling. (And *that* would require a "leap forward".) We can already do that.

Not directly related, but now that Elon's buddy has been un-nominated for NASA, Transportation Secretary Duffy will be taking on NASA in an acting capacity.
