SpaceX Catches Booster But Loses Ship in Starship Test Flight
SpaceX’s seventh flight test of its massive Starship launch system brought both thrilling advancements and unexpected challenges.

Some people are so blinded by their hatred of Musk that they are utterly incapable of differentiating between him and “SpaceX Engineers”. I bet you don’t even know what an FTS is and think the shuttle just spontaneously exploded for some unknown reason.
Like everyone else, I liked Musk too, for a time. Then I changed, and he didn’t. He’s literally been doing the same shit for years. The fuel tanks were LEAKING and you want to talk about FTS? Fuck outa here with your bullshit.
