SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has finally broken his silence on the explosion of Starship SN9 on February 2. Musk admitted that they were “too dumb” to light only two engines for landing.
Space X’s second full test flight of its starship was launched on February 2 and saw SN9 travelling a few miles up in the air. The vehicle hovered for a moment and then conducted a belly flop-like manoeuvre on the descent before making an explosive landing back in the latch pad.
