Car hit by debris from SpaceX launch

Me laughing at this after ift-2:

keep in mind this is in a nature preserve

there we go again

mf shouldn’t have parked that close

cringe

This is what happens when they leave it up to private industry.

No way will they launch 'in a couple of months.' I'd say they'll have to rebuild the entire site, for it to be deemed safe.

Then it explodes and cause more damage 😂

You can't park there 😅😂

Why dont they line the launch pad with tungsten?

Now compare that to the explosion to get the astronauts off the moon...makes you think a bit.

Elon, you wack the humans

I guess that's one way to "clear" the launchpad.

NASASpaceFlights Van RIP StarVan

😮wow it’s powerful

The rocket blasted a crater under the pad, chewing up and pulverizing concrete and dirt and throwing it literally everywhere. What you see is not smoke, it's a dirt and dust cloud. It damaged the rocket engines, the nearby fueling "tank farm," and showered dust and debris all over the nearby town. The rocket failed to reliably ignite and begin flight on all engines, several more engines failed within the first two minutes of flight -- likely from debris, it failed to follow the proper trajectory due to engine failures, it failed to reach the designated apogee prior to second stage ignition, it failed to shut down the main engine, it failed to perform the required maneuver to disengage the main stage prior to second stage ignition, it failed to ignite the second stage, it lost complete control and tumbled end over end until it broke and up was automatically destroyed -- and this ALL without a payload. There's a reason the launch facilities for the NASA SLS look like the way they do. It's necessary to support the safe launch of a vehicle producing this sort of thrust. There's a reason the flame trench and water deluge system were developed and exist to this day as essential components to reduce launch pad and vehicle damage due to heat and vibration during launch of substantial rockets.

I’m glad and amused folks think this is awesome. It’s not to me. First: the other day when they suspended the countdown, they were still loading propellant at six minutes to launch 🚀 (which they claimed they did not intend to do); I found that unsettling. The rocket, I would think, would have been fully prepared to launch minus testing all systems were go, not still filling up the tanks. I intuited that the actual flight would end in disaster. It did. Now, they are applauding a four minute flight at a cost of over a billion dollars. This is not awesome. It is not great. We cannot build smaller rockets that don’t fail and we try to fly this monster? We being NASA/spacex

I’m not a mindless disciple of Musk, but what a stupid place to park?!

Oh you and your headline bullshit. You just want destruction and failure to be the big thing of each headline cycle. Perhaps a little research would help, but that would be actual reprting, and we all know how you feel about that.

Nice Marketing from spaceX, now this is trending… camera pointing the launchpad and within the vicinity? yea this is well planned.

YES! That is awesome!

Awesome

One call that's all.

The only infrastructure that this launch damaged was SpaceX's own. That van was a camera car placed there intentionally by nasaspaceflight. SpaceX gave a clear "leave at your own risk" warning for all of the remote cameras on site. The way this is portrayed in the video is incorrect. Bad journalism

Lol

This was inside the blast zone. The satellite vehicle and cameras where intentionally placed there by independent media to capture the event.

Musk… The 3 Minute Man…. 🤣😂🤣

EXCESO DE MUERTOS EN ESPAÑA FUERON TODOS ASESINADOS CON FENTANILO.

And they were parked this close to the rocket, because?

Oh dear

OMG is there no limit to Musk's recklessness! First exposing all that corruption, now this! I am literally shaking!
