The real problem is being too eager to activate the DESTRUCT system without looking at where the ship was. Why not let the ship tumble harmlessly until it's over the mid-Atlantic before activating DESTRUCT?
Nonsense hype. Heat shield parts float. They will show up over months. I have yet to see a single metal part from this flight. In over 60 years of commercial rocketry, only one person has been injured by space debris. Get a grip.
Can't compare now to 60 years. More launches last year than 60 years combined. New rules and regulations for a new era. If this was Nasa, sls, Boeing, or blue Origin yall would be all over it
I would assume that SpaceX has built into their launch protocol a sequence of abort modes, taking into account the changing risks as the launch advances. Possibly they didn't anticipate the debris field risk that would result from a destruct order at the location it was initiated?
The beginning explanation of what went wrong is somewhat convoluted. The accompanying video footage is from one of the earlier IFT flights. It may have begun to tumble, but Starship blew up on it's own. They didn't use the flight termination system. It blew up because the internal fire, inside the cavity between the bottom of the oxygen tank and the firewall above the engines, caused excessive internal pressure which was beyond what they could vent off. Thus, a RUD took place! Do your friggin homework before posting videos!
There are different degrees of debris ,,Scott Manley suggested they should have left it in one bit, instead of a Shotgun blast,,,Termination system is automaticly designated, so when it went off course they blew it up ,,,See how many planes had to circle,,
"Musk cited an oxygen leak as a potential risk factor for the mission"? @1:18 Maybe they should have corrected that little oversight BEFORE launch? Maybe things are moving along a little too fast? Just asking.
The next version of the vehicle is already changed in major ways. This vehicle was part of the planned TESTING phase...as is the next one. During testing, NO vehicle will ever be the "latest and final design" with the "latest and final parts" with the "latest and final" manufacturing and assembly processes used". There will ALWAYS be some number of downlevel parts used in every launch, perhaps dozens...each meeting the requirements of that particular TEST launch.
During the earlier days of text-to-speech I had to intentionally mispell words in order to force the computer software to pronounce them correctly and had to break up single words into multiple segments of partial "words" to force the proper timing and cadence in the output speech. Kind of like breaking words down into their phonemes, but not using actual phoneme spelling. It was quite a lot of "try this soup of letters and see if it sounds right".
Glad they figured it out, i thought Little X might have pushed the FTS button by mistake.

63 items that space X came up with not FAA
The next starship will be made of balsa wood so all the pieces burn up on reentry.
Yikes! The level of incompetence this AI voice/text system exhibits is epic. "Starsh Launch Debrees" WTF are they thinking?
So SpaceX activated the flight termination system rather than it self-destructing?
"Ground breaking" might be an unfortunate choice of words!
So many inaccuracies. You just lost my sub

Great update. New sub👍🏼
Cause of the problem?? They blew the fricking thing up 😆
Starsh? Debrees?
does AI need a spelling lesson ?

Guess what they are using false information once again!
Lies

Klee up your miss space x !!!
