Looks like a tile went flying when the engine fired and the burn was very short compared to the last static fires

Again? I get that their iterative testing process lends itself to these sorts of things, but this is starting to get a bit ridiculous.

Know what's a bigger "oops"? The fact rockets don't work in space.

When you use logic, reason and actual real science, you realize rockets only work (definition: propel themselves forward) inside an atmosphere. This means they don't work in space. Oh, you're a believer and think rockets really do work in space? Well, sorry for shattering your fantasy world, but it needs to be done.

The plain truth is they don't and can't work in a real vacuum. Any claims of the contrary is a fraud and a lie.

>inb4 you parrot "newtons 3rd law!" like an NPC without any thought involved

That law /isn't/ in dispute here. Appealing to it to "prove" rockets "work in space" shows you don't grasp the fundamental problem here. The 3rd law is 100% correct. When asteroids floating in the vacuum of space crashes into each other, the 3rd law applies. Likewise, the law applies to objects interacting on the ground on Earth, underwater, and in the sky. The 3rd law is 100% real, but it doesn't "do" anything for a rocket when its engine is fired in a perfect vacuum.

You see, the atmosphere gets thinner at higher elevation until it disappears completely (out in space). That's the issue is here! And you can't get around that issue. Parroting "newtons's 3rd law!" or throwing math equations around, doesn't magically make the issue go away. That's just you avoiding to deal with reality. Man up and stop avoiding reality.

If you're currently under the "rockets work in space! xd!" spell they cast on you through the entertainment industry and educational system (the indoctrination system), and you want to break free from that spell and shatter the illusion - then see these two educational videos (they play inside your browser):

1st vid: https://files.catbox.moe/dl9ldw.webm
2nd (also important): https://files.catbox.moe/so2rrt.mp4

Once you know that stuff, then you know beyond any doubt rocket technology will never be viable outside of Earth.

No atmospheric pressure, zero atmospheric density = no thrust. It truly is that simple.

If you don't understand already, then the following videos, in addition to the ones already posted (here >>11730931 ), may help you understand:

For those of you with short attention spans who have difficulty following scientific presentations in video format, here's an illustration which can assist you in understanding that rockets indeed do not work in space. You're welcome. You're now ready to take your first steps towards embracing the real world.

well, that's what tests are for.

I'm not downloading your bullshit memebox aids, but this is probably where you're doing your sleight of hand.

I wonder how many people genuinely believe that rockets propel themselves using atmospheric pressure displacement.

Was this a dry run for tomorrow's launch?

no. this one is starship.

No. This is a completely different rocket.

Everybody knows that but if you paid attention in school you would know space is not a perfect vacuum, in fact rockets use the tiny and sparse atoms there to propel themselves so they work in the "void".
