Okay, I realize that the explosion of the SpaceX Starship rocket was a good thing overall because it helped them identify issues for future proofing and the like. Supposedly they saw themselves as even further ahead of the game than they were pre-launch.

But, please don’t ever put the “Mission Control” team at SpaceX in my corner when I’m having a similar successful failure learning moment of my own. They were cheering as they watched hundreds of millions of dollars burn up in the sky. I also realize there was nothing aboard that was actually alive but that just strikes me as sick. Twisted and sick.

New song from the Foo Fighters? Don’t mind if I (and Katie) do! New album (to be titled But Here We Are) coming in June? I think I’ll be checking that out as well! Have you listened to “Rescued” yet?...

I can't believe they're trying to say this "explosion" was int!entional

No, not intentional. Just that when it happens, it’s not a bad thing the way NASA would treat it. NASA always preferred slow and methodical and not destroying billions of dollars in taxpayer money. SpaceX finds more learning curve value in catastrophe which kinda makes sense but is also a bit disgusting.
