Integrated Test Joke

Starship’s maiden full-stack experienced a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” following what looked to me like somebody forgot to flip the seperate-enable switch. All those dark engines didn’t look real encouraging either. Probably knew it wasn’t going to make insertion long before watching the spin dance to abort.

Wanna bet they were on some timeline pressure in a years-long lead-time NASA contract?

LATE UPDATE: They didn’t even have the launch pad ready.

This explains the lead-up deadpan from the Muskovite on down: to blondie’s wrapup: Low expectations for the black spaceship that didn’t fly.
