Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈Apr 23, 2023
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.

@Lazarou @kcarruthers And I'll give you exactly one guess at who, at SpaceX, decided to make 4/20 the launch date.

Get it? 420?

Seriously, what kind of CEO at a major rocket firm would insist on a 20th April launch, ready or not, to make a juvenile "420" joke?!

@ajsadauskas @Lazarou Not to defend Musk, but he personally didn't choose the launch date.

The timing of the launch is based on weather conditions and the orbit of the Earth.

@MugsysRapSheet @ajsadauskas @Lazarou yes and it was after a wet launch on Monday.

@honyell @MugsysRapSheet @ajsadauskas @Lazarou And the launch itself was still a success because it gave them a ton of data on which to work out the issues with the vehicle.

@Milnoc @MugsysRapSheet @ajsadauskas @Lazarou Yes it was. The only failure was the launch pad getting destroyed. I'm told they have a couple more rockets ready to go, each with slightly different modifications and profiles. Once the launch pad is fixed, i'm sure we will see this thing blast around the world before it smashes into the ocean.
