Sadly the ship spun out of control and broke up. How many ships can SpaceX keep losing before some serious questions are raised? It seems like they keep going backwards with each launch.

Block 2 was always meant to be an interim step. In wouldn’t be surprised if SpaceX Just scrapped the remaining Block 2 ships and go directly to Block 3 with the advanced Raptor 3 engine

These recent failures were the first Block 2 Starships, so I wonder if one of the changes is to blame. Or perhaps some manufacturing issue given the changes in the factory recently. Lots of possibilities.

The FAA is going to slow them down now
