Bay Area Houston

Another Xplosion.

SpaceXplosion has a serious systemic problem. How many more explosions is the FAA going to tolerate before they determine the root cause of these mishaps. How many more explosions will the local residents tolerate? Who has to die before someone makes SpaceX stand down until they determine WTF is going on?

The video to the left is disturbing. Not only was the vehicle destroyed but the pad was destroyed and I would bet homes in the area might have damage. There is probably environmental damage as well. But watch that video and count between the time you see the explosion and the time you hear it. The people who took the video was just over a mile away. I was able to get a pass on “The Causeway” to see a Shuttle Launch many years ago. That location was about 8 miles away. My parents were VIPs at the visitor center which was just over 3 miles away. You can actually hear the person who took the video comment about the heat from the Xplosion. They were that close.

After this many accidents SpaceX needs to stand down and determine the root cause of the multiple failures. Calling the explosions cute names like a RUD “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” isn’t funny anymore. These accidents have become a RUFUS “Rapid Unscheduled Fuck Ups”.

You can watch the official SpaceX video below. If you watch from a couple of minutes before the explosion you will hear them talking about a June 29 launch and what I consider as an unprofessional attitude to a very serious endeavor. They then reference to the event as a RUD but then simply refer to it as what it really happened. It blew up.

Again.
