Perhaps a little more complicated this time though.... .....they are carrying a payload! - SpaceX - Launches
. Am I misunderstanding something here?!? Didn't the last Space-X POS blow the fvck up last week?!? Wasn't that the second straight failure this year for egon mush's mars rocket program?!? Who the fvck is still willing to be a test-dummy for that program?!?
. After 2 in a row blow the fvck up ... I would generally think about waiting for a successful flight or two before being in the next crew. You too can do what you wish.

SpaceX has two rocket families: Manned qualified, Falcon 9 and Dragon spacecraft. One booster recently collapsed after landing and a second stage failed to de-orbit as planned. An oxygen leak led to a starlink mission failure to reach a high enough orbit. Starship developmental system. That one had two second stage failures in the last two launches. However, this most recent, multiple engine explosion suggests the CEO may be missing from his usual engineering leadership. He is also sending Tesla in directions I can't support. Again, absence of 'hands on' leadership. Bob Wilson
No division ever failed to deploy for lack of a Pentagon 4-star.....or in the case of the US military....a six-pack of four stars. Officers run the military. NCOs make the military run, IN the canoe-club we call it 'deck plate leadership.' Wall Street calls it middle-level management. If SpaceX is experiencing growing pains, it's not with the F9s. Today is might be a 'two for Tuesday' with a science mission out of Vandy and the 22nd re-flight of an F9 out of P-CAN delivering some Starlinks - including some of the newer direct-to-cell variants that will eventually ensure my retirement is not delayed. That's - what? Nearly 500 flights for this rocket with a high percentage of either planned expenditures or successful landings. And remember.....Starlink and Starshield are just a side hustles for SpaceX. A good CEO can keep all of that that on track with about 2 zoom calls a week and an hour (maybe two) a day of banging out emails. I'm old enough to remember when the only way we could send people into LEO was to thumb a ride from the Rooskies. TSLA is a publicly owned company. The BOD can "Jobs" Musk and force him to step down as the CEO - or be nudged into doing so by the shareholders - and perhaps they should. Musk didn't start TSLA, but I think it's pretty safe to say that he was out on the sharp end of the stick when the shorters were the folks wearing red ties and poking fun at EVangelists.
