Yeah that take off was intense. And 4 of the engines did not even start based on the graphic displayed.
This how the live stream hosts described it "a rapid unscheduled disassembly." 
Yeah, that's one way to put.This how the live stream hosts described it "a rapid unscheduled disassembly."
I might go with, "Blew the fuck up"
It was a success
Explosion after 4 minutes
Musk anticipated possible explosion
Wish TRUMP WAS ON IT

SpaceX operates on a fail fast, adapt and iterate philosophy to a great degree. This is possible in a private company and unmanned space flight.
NASA had to build in perfection, redundancy and could afford to do so with effectively unlimited government funding.
While I'm sure there is some face saving going on, I think they expect such failures and so long as they have and understand the data and failure modes, this flight was a success.

Of course, even with the unlimited resources of the US government, NASA blew up real good plenty of times.
Sounds like its perfectly ready to take the first load of billionaires to Mars.
Don't Look Up!!!!
The fact that the rocket blew up was not a big deal. It was a first test of the new rocket; Musk had already stated that anything that made it off the launch pad would be considered a success.

Onward and upward. How many Redstones did NASA destroy?The fact that the rocket blew up was not a big deal. It was a first test of the new rocket; Musk had already stated that anything that made it off the launch pad would be considered a success.

Except this is the rocket that is supposed to be used for NASA's Artemis II moon mission with 4 astronauts. Wish them well.
There's a reason tests are unmanned....it has to be near perfect vessel before they put crew on it.
People seem to forget these are tests. With tests there are a lot of expectations of failures.... This is a good thing...lol....
rockets don't even test for safety because if it fails there's 100% fatality....it has to be near damn perfect in order to be successful.

It was supposed to be a joke but since we are on sentence structure."To be used." Review your English sentence structure
You did say that this is THE rocket. Maybe you meant the same rocket model or type?
You don't get anywhere by giving up.
As Bob Hope once said. The reason the Russians are winning the space race is because they have better German scientists than we do.
