It's June 29 launch date appears questionable.
I want to see vast improvements in rocketry for space exploration.
I just don't want Musk involved in it.

'In free fall': Elon Musk flounders as Trump reportedly 'isn’t taking his calls'
Elon Musk is a “billionaire in freefall” as President Donald Trump is “reportedly refusing to take his calls,” according to an analysis from Salon Weekend Editor CK Smith.
“While the smoke clears on the launchpad, another crisis is burning,” Smith said, “xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, is reportedly on track to lose $13 billion in 2025. He later said, “Musk moved GPUs from Tesla to prop it up and is now pitching a $9 billion raise to investors. But that’s not innovation — it’s triage.”
To make matters worse, “Musk has been frozen out by Trump himself, who reportedly isn’t taking Musk’s calls.”
Smith said the trio of issues has made Musk, “Just a guy with exploding rockets, a hemorrhaging AI startup, and a dying social media platform full of trolls yelling into the void.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The explosion was when it was fuelling up for the test. It didn't even get so far as to start that.

I wouldn't mind seeing him strapped to the nose as ablative armour.
