SpaceX’s Starship rocket system reached several milestones in its second test flight before the rocket booster and spacecraft exploded over the Gulf of Mexico.

So rocket science…the thing the world has been doing since the end of WWII. Weird how other rockets don’t have this problem…
You know of any other companies doing a belly flop maneuver? Or a reusable first stage with hot staging?
How reusable? NASA had recoverable boosters How does math and physics change based on goals?
NASA has never used hot staging.
I repeat math or physics changed?
No, the constants and dynamics in that flight regime are just not well understood.
So you are telling me PhD physicists don’t know?
Yeah, broad strokes, but not super high fidelity stuff.
lmao people act like they can’t comprehend that we haven’t solved all physics yet
Yeah it’s super easy that rocket science. Just plug some numbers into a simulation and off you go. It’s not exactly brain surgery.
Tell that to Robert Goddard
