Fark off. The engineers I know just love blowing ■■■■ up.

note - blowing ■■■■ up is awesome, so I’m not criticising.

Having spent much of my career as an oil and gas engineer, I can categorically say that blowing things up is sometimes very very very not awesome.

But then forgot to tell the desert nomads in the middle east 3,000 years ago so they could put it in their Big Book of Rules Everyone Must Follow Forevermore.

Maybe this one will launch.

Coverage starts at 7:20pm AEDST.

Heard on the radio this arvo that one ( figured it was this one) launched but exploded on landing, but they still felt it a success. ?? :thinking:

2 exploded in experiment this one landed and is the big test rocket space plane, quite surreal when you watch it, almost looks like bad CGI, if you get bored with the 10 km rise just go forward to see the landing amazing!! about 4:20 minutes in
