SpaceX Starship explosion likely caused by propellant leak, Elon Musk says
www.space.com
"Preliminary indication is that we had an oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity."

It’s their 7th launch and they’re still fighting issues with keeping the fuel where it should be. Elon has successfully created a machine that can kill any number of astronauts in sub-orbit and land to do it all over again. How is anyone not getting this? I’ll never forgive him for taking back intellect on space travel to the 1950’s .

    Comparing a now well tested design with a great track record to a still experimental design that’s trying to push the limits isn’t really fair. It would be more valid if Space-X had decided to stop at a certain point and declare it good for operation and had lost a few payloads. That’s not what’s happening.
