i dont really follow spacex much except for knowing that their stuff blows up alot. probably the main thing you dont want to happen when your entire company is based on sending people into space.

Most of their blow ups are when developing a new vehicle without payloads, like the new Starship, or when they were learning to land rockets. For the landing case, explosions were after successful payload deliveries when the landing failed, which is still a mission success. 100% of their competitor's flights lose their rockets after deploying payloads, so that's actually the norm.

SpaceX is pretty much the only competitive launch company left on the planet. They already have something like 70% market share and growing fast. Some launch companies haven't had a single launch in all of 2020 due to them and most are doing mass layoffs and flaying around trying to technologically catch up with them and not die. That's the power of math!

Seems that a majority of the Spacex failures happen after successful launches though... they are just trying to keep their rockets to use again and failing at that point.

no, this is the shiny distraction that the actual ceo gives him so he doesn't gently caress with the rest of development; he's deffo putting his sticky jam hands all over this

That was cool as hell. I said this over in the space forum: But I'm shocked they got the launch after the abort so quickly. They just backed the fuel truck up and ran it again.
