People are saying that the pumping and heating unit should have been tested prior to etc etc
.......but THIS is what the tests in Morocco are about and sometimes things don't work out. How many times has Elon Musk failed? After his last very well publicised test he aborted The Starship Super Heavy rocket after just 3 minutes of flight because something went wrong......and mission control, as well as hundred's of employees observing the launch, erupted in applause. Why? Because they knew they had accumulated data in those 3 minutes which they can take advantage of in the next test. Why, for once, can't we applaud QEDs efforts? Our engineers will have learned from this exercise, just like Elon Musk's team, which hopefully they will be able to apply next time.
