Starship successfully blows up - what did we learn?

[g8r.tom]

'Boom' from SpaceX Dragon capsule reentry was felt across Florida Panhandle

Social media was abuzz with video clips of what sound like two distant explosions and sleepy Floridians wondering what the commotion was about.

Anybody else in the panhandle get the sonic boom last night? I'm in DC, but wife said she thought something had hit the house.

Back in the early 90s when lived in Orlando when the shuttle would land it would set off the car alarms.

The good ole days of being jolted out of bed by the sonic boom of a shuttle landing.

SpaceX is making astounding advancements with Starship and yet, the Drive by media is selling their agenda of SpaceX has another failure.

3rd Launch was a absolute success and the live video was amazing!

Still things to work on but that's why SpaceX flies while others postpone.

Seeing the plasma during reentry was freakin sweet!

Every iteration they get closer to their goals. This is so cool to watch.

Listened to the whole Elon Musk audiobook someone wrote about him, covered personal life and career. One thing that stood out was Musk's consistent lean to taking risks in order to move quicker. He expects things to blow up, wants them to, so they can find the weak points to work on as they move forward.

Media is so biased they can't/won't see that. Only want to push headlines against him since he is 'the enemy'.

They're incapable of grasping a non-governmental approach to anything that flies.

I wish someone had video of the Booster hitting the water.
