SpaceX’s Starship rocket system reached several milestones in its second test flight before the rocket booster and spacecraft exploded over the Gulf of Mexico.
SpaceX’s Starship rocket system reached several milestones in its second test flight before the rocket booster and spacecraft exploded over the Gulf of Mexico.
Does this outcome just litter the Gulf with debris and pollutants or what?
That’s pretty much all rocket launches that aren’t Falcon 9 right now, all over the oceans.
I think the Gulf has plenty of steel in it already, and the liquid methane and oxygen probably isn’t getting there, not that they’d be an issue really. It’s a non-issue compared to shipping, for example.
Interesting, thanks.
Wouldn’t be surprised if it struck London.
