Elon Musk’s SpaceX tested a prototype Mars rocket yesterday.
Its return to the launchpad ended in a fireball.
Musk’s attitude is still positive.
He is quoted as saying that “fuel header tank pressure was low, leading to a higher than desirable landing speed & RUD.”
For those of us not up-to-speed on our acronyms, a RUD is a ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly’...
In layman’s words: an explosion.
It didn’t crash...
