Great job Elmo. It was the 8th test flight of their ginormous rocket and yup. . . it exploded pretty quickly. Billions of dollars are being spent on these rockets, launches, etc. and so far they all have "spontaneously disassembled" or straight up exploded.
Elon Musk--whose rockets keep exploding--is the same person that Trump has in charge of hiring and firing federal workers these days.
What could go wrong? 
It marked a disappointing end to what appeared to be a successful launch, as the billionaire works toward his goal of sending humans to Mars.

Aw, bummer.
There was a launch scheduled while I was in Florida, but I refused to stay and watch it because of him. I’ve seen a launch before as it’s spectacular, but I won’t pay my time for anything related to him.

I read an article today about that. She said he wouldn't respond to any of her attempts so she felt like she had to be public about it. How can you ignore your own child's needs?

You know whats funny is people always go Government can't do anything as well as Corporate. Goes to show you. Money seems to be the problem. Throw all the money you want, it does not make it better. I find corporate worse because a lot of those people in it just for the money. At least when they in the government we know its for passion and not the money.
Motives still mean something, getting paid and smart to smart and just give me a fair wage so I can do what I love is a big difference. It works more times than not to greedy people who just happen to be smart.

It wa certainly a spectacular event and not one he could hide from the press.
I’m impressed how the booster managed to return to the launchpad though, so it wasn’t a total disaster.

His goal, in my opinion, is to lead space travel and possibly even settle on Mars in the future. But it would take more time and money to perfect his rocket given the recent failures to launch them correctly. Perhaps that is why he allied himself with the Trump administration to seek assistance in financing his projects.

At least he is doing it with his own money unlike our previous government that pretty much gave away billions and cant seem to show where any of it was spent
