    The whole flight was a shitshow.

    • The booster exploded at the beginning of the landing burn (forgivable, they were intentionally trying an aggressive re-entry profile).
    • The door to release the payload simulator didn’t open. Again. They have had years to fix this after the last time the door got stuck.
    • The vehicle was on fire. Again. Clearly they can’t keep the fuel from leaking.
    • The attitude control was broken. Again. They can’t keep their vehicle pointed in the right direction.

    WTF they doing over there? Every single one of these problems has already happened before, multiple times.

    But credit where credit is due, Starlink worked brilliantly through the whole flight. We got to see the vehicle melt in realtime.

        Well… not to be a gossip, but I hear there is some K holed jerk in upper management who is a consistent fuck up. I’m willing to bet most of SpaceX’s failures flow from him.

        please, don’t give him any excuses to play victim, not being adored for being a nazi is already oppressive enough to him 🥲

        Would that help or hurt the stock price? Asking for a shortselling friend
