A significant explosion at SpaceX's Texas testing site has halted preparations for the tenth Starship launch, damaging the prototype during a static fire test. This setback adds to a series of failures for the Starship program in 2025, prompting investigations and delaying Musk's vision of multiplanetary travel. The incident underscores the risks of space technology development.

    but the prototype suffered significant damage.

    More like “was blown to pieces and whatever remained burned in fire”

    In the long term, SpaceX plans to send 1,000–2,000 ships to Mars every two years

    For comparison, ever since Gagarin flight in 1961, there was 398 crewed launches into space.

      That is 6.2 per year on average.

      Right, I make that (using the lowest figure) over 40 launches per month, every month for the 2 years. Anyone who thinks that is plausible is a tad optimistic.

      Or sabotage by a brave anti-fascist SpaceX employee.

          Don’t worry, Muskuitos only hear their own voices and smell their own farts.

    Remember to turn off your lights when you’re not using them to save the environment!
