Elon Musk on SN9 failure.


When asked Q "Why only light 2 engines for landing? Any engine failure means loss of vehicle, so you have two single points of failure. Why not light all 3, do the flip, then pick the best two and turn off the other?"


Elon Musk tweeted "We were too dumb."

Now the FAA is investigating the whole incident and trying to decide if SpaceX should be allowed to continue to launch from Boca Chica where SpaceX has spent a ton of money to build America's first real commercial test sight.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73179195


Elon's biggest mistake was that when he needed to impress the FAA with results, he failed to prevent his rocket from crashing.

They were "too dumb".

Redundancy is a lifesaver.

They should have started their engines earlier.
They should have done the belly flop higher.
They should have had enough fuel to land softly.

Sadly I believe SpaceX is really going to be hurt by this failure to perform and more importantly achieve the goals they set for themselves.

SN8 suffered the same sort of failure on landing because they cut their margin of error too close for comfort.

That was too dumb.

How many hungry worldwide are there?

I am totally serious.

If you want to go there, let's discuss how space benefits the world.

First off there isn't a spot on this planet that cannot receive up to the second weather information from satellites.

That information allows farmers to plant their crops at the best time to plant them and produce higher yields of foodstuffs.

It also provides early warning for storms.

The world hunger we see today is nothing compared to the famines we had before space travel.

In fact there are those that have suggested that the world is getting over populated because we are not starving to death like we used to.

So How many hungry worldwide are there?

Actually the Moon landings were more real than any sci fi of their age.

Re: Elon Musk on SN9 failure.
elon has never admitted to being dumb.i doubt he would now unless he was payed to.
its obvious the rocket had too much downward speed at time of adjustment and whole procedure should have been done 30 seconds earlier.
what else is there to say?
either they chose to crash rocket or they were payed to.

Re: Elon Musk on SN9 failure.
Just reporting what we observed-

You logged out as Perry, logged in as ND farm,

Then logged out as Farm and immediately back in as Perry around 7:04, to reply to this thread. And logged back in as Farm on a separate device about a minute or so later.

May not have been a second device per se, could be simple cookie/router machinations to simulate a second device, but to log in simultaneously after being outed you were forced to do more than just log off and on- the tracking has trouble distinguishing those specifics)

I know, “coincidence,” right?
