Elon Musk says the SpaceX spaceship explosion was entertaining

Elon Musk everything goes Russel Crowe in response to an explosion during his last rocket launch… he says the fireball in the sky was extremely entertaining!!!

The billionaire avoids another explosion during a test launch for Starship, the largest rocket ever made.

During SpaceX’s launch from the Texas coast Thursday, the Starship capsule exploded … making the rocket resemble a meteor shower.

Elon shared a video of the bits and pieces of the rocket falling back to Earth… which people in Turks and Caicos saw when they looked up at the sky.

The explosion occurred about nine minutes after launch, after it separated from the Super Heavy Booster.

Elon has a pretty rosy outlook, posting… “Success is uncertain, but entertainment is guaranteed!” The spaceship will eventually have astronauts, but this time there was no one on board.

SpaceX lost all communication with the rocket and said: “The spaceship experienced a rapid unplanned disassembly during its ascent.” Nerd talk about a rocket exploding into a million pieces.

The launch wasn’t all bad… the Super Heavy booster actually flew backwards back to Earth… and returned to the launch pad, where it was caught by the launch and the chopstick arms of the tower.

Elon says SpaceX will learn from the explosion and make adjustments for the next launch… and he says an oxygen/fuel leak appears to be the culprit here.
