After the landing of Starship Prototype SN10, as it was gradually cooling down, something devastating happened and KaBoom!!! Watch this short clip! Full Screen!!!
The flight itself was a total success from an objectives standpoint but there will now be an internal investigation as to what happened post landing... I will keep you informed...
APPOLOGIES, THE EXPLOSION DID NOT MAKE IT AND WAS CUT OFF ON THIS PARTICULAR VIDEO, i WILL REPOST...

Musk realizes failures will happen,; the key is learning from those falures. Carry On!

Yep! These are all prototypes and failures are expected until they get it 100% right...

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Wondering if the NASA failures you mentioned were televised - and common knowledge. If so I probably was not paying as much attention back then for them to be memorable.

I don't recall NASA having so many trial and error failures as Musk's for-profit venture (although, if I understand correctly his venture is funded in part by the government). Maybe there is no avoiding trial and error failures when trying to develop reusable equipment.

As Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen commented to me, NASA had many many failures before they were rectified... Look back on the Mercury & early Apollo years...

Sgt (Join to see) SGT Mary G. Exactly, I grew up watching rockets blowing up on launch pad or shortly after launch.

Thanks, Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Sgt (Join to see). Had no idea. The only ones I recall are Challenger in 86 and Columbia in 03. Did a search, had a look at a list of "spaceflight-related accidents and incidents" - so many. Better to have failures while all the bugs are being worked out (hopefully) - before space tourism starts!
