I knew Elon would have had something to do with what happened to the #Starship on 4/20.
His macho disregard for the Environment and Safety meant he dismissed calls for a 'firing trench', subsequently the firing of Starship's rockets kicked up a load of debris which took out some of the engines and caused the irregularity in flight that necessitated self destruct.
The guy is a fucking liability and #SpaceX needs to drop him.
That's your story Media.

Eric Roesch, an expert in environmental compliance and risk assessment who has been tracking SpaceXโ€™s rocket launches:

"Normally, major launch sites are engineered with a trench or water system that helps to divert the rocketโ€™s flame away from the ground and to dampen the impact," he said.

โ€œThey didnโ€™t do that,โ€ he said. โ€œIt appears they just went ahead and just launched this thing.โ€

A crater 25 feet deep was blasted into the earth causing extensive damage locally.
