Elon goes BOOM!

StarShip goes BOOM again!

Elon said de-orbit the International Space Station and said, "Let's go to Mars."

Dude, you can't even get to orbit.

Space is hard, I get that. But dude, you suck. You've ruined X/Twitter, you bought into Tesla and ruined that with Cybertruck, and you're ruining SpaceX with StarShip.

You're ruining the government by random firings and lying about the savings you're (not) getting.

You can't spell FELON without ELON.

It's not that StarShip went boom that's the problem. It's that launching heavy lifters from Texas means there's massive risk that when StarShip goes boom it does so where it will hazard populated areas and commercial flight paths. Which has happened with both launches in 2025.

And the only reason he's doing it from Texas is politics, tax breaks and lax environmental enforcement. And now he's gutting the FAA so they won't be in a position to make any demands of him. I fear it's a matter of time till a life is lost.
