SpaceX Suddenly Seems Pretty Terrified to Launch Starship After Long String of Super Expensive Explosions
For years, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been stridently glib when his rockets explode during tests, quipping that the blasts were "just a scratch," a "minor setback," or a "rapid unscheduled disassembly."
He's still deploying these jokey ripostes, but there's reason to believe the walls may be starting to close in for SpaceX's efforts on Starship, as more and more of the ultra-expensive spacecraft fail in spectacular public view.
The issue is that he's bet the future of the company on the massive craft, making its success — or failure — an existential issue for his space venture.
