Starship Explosion Video: Watch Elon Musk's Rocket Explode After Launch | WSJ

Ok. Operations to stir up your chamber pressure. Three seconds under the test flight of the inaugural vehicle tower clear, Linda picks over the Paulson reports. First stage agents. No, what a sight when the came at twice, the thrust of the signal throttle down and throttle back up through the period of maximum aerodynamic pressure. The velocity increases the density of the atmosphere is decreasing, less stress on the vehicle to call out next. Now continuing to watch the first stage as we head down range 100 seconds into flight. Our next major activity is the first stage, the Houston tracking station. Now acquiring the vehicle shut down, we will get separation of super heavy and ignition of the starship engines. When starship separates, we light up six engines in a staggered sequence. If all goes well, those six engines will burn for almost 6.5 minutes on board. View from view of the raft engines on the second stage as we prepare for state separation. After state separation, the first stage will flip and begin a boost back maneuver for landing in the Gulf continuing to fly two minutes. 40 seconds. Let's get ready for main engine cut off beginning the flip for stage separation something OK. As of right now, we are awaiting stage separation where a starship should separate from the super heavy booster right now. It looks like we saw the start of the flip. But obviously, we're seeing from the ground cameras, the entire starship stack continuing to rotate. We should have had separation by now. Obviously, this does not appear to be a nominal situation. Yeah, it does appear to be spinning. But I do want to remind everyone that everything after clearing the tower was icing on the cake and there as you saw as we promise and to the scholarship inaugural integrated test, right?
