Looking at the debris, it’s actually kind of encouraging, maybe. Except for one spot that I see, which doesn’t look like part of the pressure vessel, the base metal failed without any apparent regard to the welds. It’s all ripped to shreds but the welds still held, and that’s a sign of a proper weld. Now if they could just fix the whole “GSE leaking fuel and now crap’s on fire yo” part. And simply because EXPLOSION! !: oooooh... aaaahhhh... Also, there goes their deposit... Edited May 30, 2020 by CatastrophicFailure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The camera angle made it look like the cloud was at the flare when in reality it was far behind it. Though not far enough to avoid being snuffed like a candle by the blast wave. In other views you can actually see the supersonic shock wave from the fuel-air detonation: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Wow. That was a view I had not seen. Legit explosion, not deflagration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I want to say more. As far as things appear to me now, this isn't testing the vehicle, a new design, product of new assembly procedures, and the vehicle failed. This is the test stand that failed. The test stand itself should not fail. Edited May 30, 2020 by Jacke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork13 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) I'm not entirely sure where the correct place to put this is, but I recently created a "This Is SpaceX" video based off of the one they did in 2013 which you guys can watch here if interested. Sharing would also be appreciated as I have no other way of publicizing these kinds of videos other than word of mouth and whatever the youtube algorithm feels like doing.

cubinator Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'd prefer to see a proper delay than watch them get to T-20:00 and climb out of the rocket again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealKerbal3x Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 SpaceX needs to make a Starship version of this sooner or later. Perhaps 'How not to test an orbital Starship prototype' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
