The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

Full, more than 60 character headline ...

SpaceX rocket explodes, raining debris from sky for second time in a row

Tis ain't A Good Thing.

Second time in a row ...

Hmmmm ...

So, new problems not learned and solved from the first explosion?

"SpaceX rocket explodes, raining debris from sky"

Oh I get it.

It's a metaphor for the Trump Economy.

My concern is ... what, or who, are under the debris field that is falling from the sky?

They send planes back when this happens. It happened just a few months ago, over the Atlantic.

Reminder of what Trump said about those astronauts and the role Musk will play in bringing them back home, video at link:

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar.com
Trump on two astronauts stuck in space: "Maybe they'll love each other, I don't know. But they've been left up there. Think of it. And I see the woman with the wild hair. Good solid head of hair she's got. There's no kidding. There's no games with her hair."

So these are the two men, Trump and Musk, who we are entrusting our entire government to in ways that are drastically effecting the present and will have long lasting consequences into our future. What could possibly go wrong?

We got a great view of the unscheduled rapid disassembly near Miami. The flames, the tumbling ... when is Leon shooting off another one? (Can't wait for his Fourth of July banger!)

Are you 10yrs old?

Different systems, one fully developed with over 450 successful launches.

The other under development.

FFS like no one has ever done science before.

So where's the "rescue"? Next week. When was that scheduled? Last November.

Promises made. Promises not kept.

LOL.

Maybe so, I don't know the details. But what I do know, is our own space agency cant get it done so it was Elon they called on.

You know who they didn't ask for help? The ------' Canadians.

You know, as I recall Apollo never had a capsule explode after launch. Not a lot of progress 60 years later. Maybe Musk should stick to ------- up the entire country.

"240 flights disrupted"

I'm assuming SpaceX will pay zero dollars to remedy the disruption they caused.

Anyone know?

Forget reparations SNOOFY

The only thing Musk will get is another government contract, ala Donald Trump, which is how he maintains his wealth at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.

Failures are profitable.

Watching that thing tumbling across the south FL sky was quite the treat.
The icing, of course, was then learning it belonged to that genius President Leon.

It has been determined that it would be more profitable to just keep paying Musk billions of $$$$ to keep "resupplying" them until they both die from old age. Yes, it sucks for them but that's "privatization." If there is no profit in it then don't do it.

It's a true shame that some of that debris weren't pieces of musk.

Gosh, I hate that for Elon.
