The rocket exploded when preparing for an engine test at the SpaceX Starbase facility in Texas. SpaceX said all personnel were accounted for and safe.
A SpaceX Starship rocket exploded into a huge fireball while preparing for a routine test on Wednesday.
The rocket, designed to be the most powerful in the world, was preparing for its tenth test flight at the SpaceX Starbase facility at the southern tip of Texas.
Local officials confirmed the explosion took place at a time when the rocket was preparing for a “routine static fire test” of its engines.
That means engineers were set to test the rocket’s engines with the craft still held down on its launch pad. But something went wrong and the rocket exploded.
If destruction of property during a protest makes it “violent”, then destruction of property via sabotage is also “violent”.
My point being: regardless of what actions we take against the regime, it will always be classified as violence as an excuse to send the state dogs after the dissenters.
When it comes to actions done in protest of the regime, we are incredibly far behind on the escalation of our actions against it. We need to be protesting like the original union movements that occupied factories, sympathy strikes from related industries, anything and everything we can muster to bring the entire economy to a screeching halt until those who hold the reigns of industry give in to our demands as workers.
Ideally, we wouldn’t stop there and, instead, continue until we, as a united working class, take back ownership of what is rightfully ours from a parasitic class of a few societal elite and dismantle their system which has reinforced their authority over us.
But we can cross that bridge when we get there. First we have to get organized and start actually doing something.
You say “we,” I say “you.” The rest of the world has been telling you for decades this was going to happen and we got belligerent jingoism in response. I agree with you- but I’m also not the one who needs convincing.
The clowns have the nukes. We’re in this together. Assign blame at the Hauge later.
It is HILARIOUS to me that you think any US official will ever face that kind of accountability.
My point was to expand on where yours was lacking. Not to convince you, but to provide more context for others reading it.
Fair!
