Watch: SpaceX Starship Test Flight Ends in Explosion on Second Try | WSJ
The Wall Street Journal
Launched this morning at oh dark thirty West Coast time. I was awake so I watched it. Pretty great. Everything seemed to work fine going up, but things kind of fell apart on the way down. Near as I can tell the booster blew up all by itself and Starship was destroyed by command when they lost communication.
Still, the test did better than expected. (Not hard when you expect nothing. Tamp down your boundless enthusiasm with a healthy dose of 'I just know it's going to blow up on the launch pad', and then if it gets off the ground you can say 'wow, just look at that'!)
