    Considering I was unmanned, and there wasn’t really any damage that seems extreme.

    I mean this is the same guy whos been selling self-driving cars for the last decade that constantly warn you to never let them self-drive.

      The rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and got all 21 Starlink internet satellites to orbit. But the first-stage booster fell over in a fireball moments after landing on an ocean platform, the first such accident in years. It was the 23rd time this particular booster had launched, a recycling record for SpaceX.

      Shit happens.

        a recycling record for SpaceX.

        The article writes “a recycling record for the entire fucking world” a little funny.

      Can you explain how a booster that flew 23 times is a loss when no other companies are doing it? I don’t like Musk but people need to separate their views of him from SpaceX
