"We gotta work on the landing a little bit" as Starship S9 explodes on landing... again.

His first 3 ships exploded. He was nearly broke.

So the 4th was make-or-break for his entire space plans.

It succeeded and he got a $Billion+ government contract.

 

I told my grandson that the only failure in life is the one we don't learn from.

Elon's team learned a lot today!

Interesting!

 

Parked Teslas Keep Catching on Fire Randomly,
 
Battery cell production is the fundamental rate-limiter slowing down a sustainable energy future. Very important problem.
