Those spacecraft probably just checked out the latest news and said, βnopeβ.
Space X sucks. We know how to get rockets into orbit. Weβve known how to do this for a while now. He is not going to get us to the moon or mars or any of that.
Looking at the video of this failure with several of the Starship engines cutting out early and the ship spinning out of control, it looked remarkably similar to the mode of failure on the last attempt. Funny because last time Musk confidently tweeted within hours of the failure that he knew exactly what went wrong and how to fix it. He said no FAA mishap investigation was necessary, and seemed to get his way.
I think we all know what the root cause of this failure was, though. Too much DEI at SpaceX! (Dipshit Elon Interference)
Man, rough day for privately-operated, Texas-based spacecraft:
That claim: Thatβs so Silicon Valley startup.
βUnfortunately, this happened last time, too, so weβve got some practice now,β Dan Huot, a SpaceX spokespersonβ¦
Sounds like Musk-written boilerplate response to SpaceX failures.
(Found this keeper meme!)
Sounds like something Trump would say. All fucking smoke and mirrors now.

Itβs almost like the whole βdisruptingβ space travel and privatize it is a bad idea, but that canβt be rightβ¦ Iβve been told that gubmits can do things like get men to the moon and such likeβ¦ /s
βhereβs why it mattersββ¦ it fucking doesnβt, Forbes Magazine. A bunch of rich assholes going into LEO for a few minutes is effectively meaningless, other than being a waste of everyoneβs time who isnβt a rich asshole. Doesnβt matter that itβs all women, since they are supporting a regime (via doing this via Blue Origin, Bezosβ company) that has made ALL women in America second class citizens.
But weβve all but given up on an actual space program, that is supported by the American people instead of fucking oligarchs, one that pushes the important boundaries of space exploration rather than feeds into ignorance about what we can do and learn from leaving our planet. Weβre not going to go to the moon, much less mars, with these chucklefucks dominating space and turning it into yet another place to rape and pillage in order to give the wealthy a new place to lounge around and lord it over the rest of us. At best, weβre gonna get mining nearby asteroids, until someone fucks that up, and it crashes into the planet, killing all of usβ¦
We donβt get Star Trek this way, we got every fucking corporate space dystopia insteadβ¦
Not annoyed with you @ObakeBakaNeko! Just with people not paying attention to some basic arguments made by sci-fi⦠In this case being - LETTING CORPORATIONS DOMINATE SPACE EXPLORATION WILL FUCK SHIT UP!
I was wondering what you would say, especially since this is an initiative by Mr. Bezos.
In the end, we will really live in a cyberpunk dystopia like Expanse, Total Recall or Blade Runner.
