South African fascist and illegal immigrant President Elon Musk (a.k.a. Kekius Maximus, a.k.a. Maximus Anus), has become known for building things that unexpectedly explode. His latest failure was the explosion of a SpaceX Starship rocket after being launched yesterday from its Texas launch site. From Reuters:
"A SpaceX Starship rocket broke up in space minutes after launching from Texas on Thursday, forcing airline flights over the Gulf of Mexico to alter course to avoid falling debris and setting back Elon Musk's flagship rocket program.
SpaceX mission control lost contact with the newly upgraded Starship, carrying its first test payload of mock satellites but no crew, eight minutes after liftoff from its South Texas rocket facilities at 5:38 p.m. EST (2238 GMT).
Video shot by Reuters showed orange balls of light streaking across the sky over the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, leaving trails of smoke behind.
'We did lose all communications with the ship - that is essentially telling us we had an anomaly with the upper stage,' SpaceX Communications Manager Dan Huot said, confirming minutes later that the ship was lost."
Hilarity ensued when SpaceX issued a statement about the disaster: "Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn." That's a classic. Translation for Earthlings: It blew up.
Perhaps one day Kekius Maximus will ride one of his rockets toward Mars, and it will experience a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" too.
