I have mixed feelings about SpaceX's Starship having to be destroyed this morning.

On one hand, the company's progress in technology has been remarkable, especially when you consider the history of spaceflight and how difficult it remains. But I hate that Musk remains CEO of the company that's responsible for such a large percentage of launches. A YouTuber I follow who creates space-related content consistently refers to "Elon's" tweets, which to me ignores how despicable Musk has become, even prior to his latest anti-semitic post.

To use @Cmaier's analogy, it'd be like referring to a statement by Hitler about the Nazis' rocket program by saying "Adolph said..." I sort of liked to see Musk suffer a personal failure.

It's past time for companies and institutions to stop supporting Musk by remaining on X.

Seeing that Musk’s rocket blew up this morning, I’m reminded that Hitler also started a car company and built rockets…
I still have high hopes for SpaceX. I wish Musk was not an a**hole but SpaceX is fulfilling a dream I’ve had since I was a kid the 1970s. It’s taken far too long to get here.

As for the rocket blowing up, the launch was at least moderately successful. Cleared the tower with all 33 engines through the whole booster phase and then successful stage separation and Starship engines up until SECO. Main goals accomplished.

I think Ford was trying to put a one-year clause one the Lightning because there was some concern about scalping.
Yeah, this is not the first time it’s happened. Often happens for high-end sports cars, too.
