SpaceX Starship rocket launches and explodes mid-flight



SpaceX launched its Starship rocket after the first launch attempt was canceled due to a frozen valve. Minutes after liftoff, the rocket exploded after the boosters failed to separate from the shuttle. https://abcn.ws/43SEcvh WATCH ABC News live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Ma8oQLmSM SUBSCRIBE to ABC NEWS: https://bit.ly/2vZb6yP Watch more at http://abcnews.go.com/ LIKE ABC News on FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/abcnews FOLLOW ABC News on TWITTER: https://twitter.com/abc #news #spacex #spacexlaunch # abcnews

  1. That cheering is very jingoistic. The 60's and 70's was classier.

  2. How much ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ธ for one test ๐Ÿ˜‚lol

  3. Plan B: Booster anomaly, immediately, automatically separate from booster and recover the rest of the Starship? Why not? At least could have recovered the rest of the system intact from the ocean.

  4. I'm so glad she said the truth!!

  5. It was doing loop de loop like a carnival ride.

  6. Billion dollar craft wasted for human aspirations gone malevolent.

  7. Looks like a laser particle beam hit the craft. Somebody don't want elon to succeed. Maybe nasa?
    Looks like the concrete landing pad blew into the crafts engines initially. Somebody need to be fired for this incompetence.

  8. Here's a tip of advice: don't separate the stuff on the rocket before it launches

  9. It's a shame no one has footage of their own all outlets are just showing the SpaceX launch video

  10. The day that people board that thing on a manned flight and it explodes brain dead Musk should get the death penalty. There needs to be a permanent end to space launches , rockets are destroying our planet.

  11. Report on this huge conspiracy!
    I'm pissed! This dumbzuck is destroying the nest bearing beaches for Ripley Sea Turtles, and destroying OUR environment! Our Air Quality is being disrupted by the worst explosions ever seen by man in America! His "tests" are actually going to kill Texans! We are sick of his experiments on us! Why Boca Chica? Well, Brownsville officials are so corrupt in this border town, they can be bought off for Pennies! Folks, this needs to be stopped! He isn't advancing space here, he is killing people! This would never be accepted anywhere else in America!

  12. Hey, look on the bright side, at least starship lasted a little bit longer than most Teslas before blowing up spectacularly.

  13. To succeed only because of luck would probably have taught less.

  14. They got a really good stool sample that will give essential diagnostic data.

  15. I wonder what human suffering could of been reversed if someone wasnโ€™t stroking their ego?
    It was a perfect metaphor. Worshippers applauding while it exploded.

  16. Musk is a God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    /s

  18. Luv luv luv elon, he is just awesome

  19. Question for the idiot musk —– would you classify that as a launch problem or a design problem?

  20. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‹๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ™‚

  21. Why are people clapping? It blew up! Just like twitter, just like self-driving everything Musk does is a disaster and a scam, and fools just cheer him on

  22. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ‘from China

  23. No such thing as preparing for separation. When its time to separate it will automatically does so. It did not separate but exploded. Obviously Elon Musk doesn't know how to build rocket.

  24. I meant to do that. Condolences to the families….. of the test dummies

  25. Congratulations from India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ ๐ŸŽ‰

  28. Dumbest comments section of the year so far.

  29. Lots of employees will be fired..๐Ÿ˜ข

  30. Marked as a successful launch. Now load up the billionaire passengers and launch them in to space.

  31. Next we will take small steps to prevent huge explosions.

  32. Wait, Why aren't they testing a battery powered rocket??

  33. Are those people in the background so retards that they celebrate such a failure???

  34. W/e/ hope so COVIDIANA CV-Library mail
