A live stream has captured the moment a SpaceX Starship rocket exploded into a gigantic fireball when preparing for a flight test. The incident occurred on Wednesday night around 11pm at the Massey's Testing Center in Texas.

In a statement, the company said no injuries were caused. They said there were no hazards to the surrounding communities and asked people not to approach the area.

Bezos may be the most cowardly of the tech bros, but I’d rather take a trip in his rocket any day of the week.

I think Bezos and Branson have both flown on their rockets.

Time for Elmo to have a go.

Back when I was on Bluesky, I followed cartoonist Davey Jones. He did a great comic strip titled "Elon Musk's Amazing Voyage to Mars", which consisted of him getting into a rocket, everyone wishing him the best, then it took off and blew up and everyone went "Hooray, got rid of the twat at last!".

As in "Real Ale Twats" Davey Jones?

That's the guy. He also did a "Bono's Amazing Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea".
