Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Meh, this is why you do testing on the ground. In the movie "First Man", Neil Armstrong (as portrayed by Ryan Gosling) says, "We need to fail. We need to fail down here so we don’t fail up there." I don't know that the quote is exact but I think it was typical of the attitude in Apollo. This test didn't cost any lives and I suspect (hope) SpaceX learned a lot from the failure.
SpaceX probably learned quite a bit from this failure if their past development cycles on things like Falcon 9 are any indication.
One thing that's noteworthy about Starship is that they're not only trying to just build a heavy lift vehicle, but they're trying to nail down a design for a heavy lift vehicle that can be manufactured at low cost and churned out from an assembly line.

If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.
For legal reasons, that's a joke.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

Have you watched the entire thing yet? I haven't taken the time myself. It's on the list though.
I'm more than halfway through, but got interrupted. They go into a lot of info. I just got past the part where they show their huge plating shop and how they anodize the aluminum parts after machining and roll shaping.

The friction welding portion immediately after this was incredibly interesting to me.Originally Posted by Gman

SpaceX is full speed ahead on SN2 for Star Ship. They're already ring-stacking.

About a year or so ago I got to go into NASA in Houston. A friend of mine has access to just about everything there and helps train just about everybody it seems. We would walk into a room and everyone knew who he was. Impressive. Got to go into the room where they were making actual suits and such. Put on one of the example helmets and gloves. Got to walk into and around the submerged training area for the astronu... and go into the control command room, just missed a call from Trump they said. Got to get into all the stuff on the floor like shuttle and such. You could see other visitors about 40ft up on a second floor looking down at us from behind glass walls. It was all pretty interesting. At that time they said they were still using 386 CPUs because it takes so long and so much money to certify everything about a CPU and board. That shocked me. I think I heard him say they did finally upgrade.
