I wouldn't say it was embarrassing. It was the first flight of the Starship/booster as a mated pair. Really, anything beyond "it blows up on the pad" is a success, because it means the thing at least partially works.
@Dathcha We want to go to space because we want to discover more. I really want to know what's on that star I saw, without even knowing her name. It's also a matter of survival, Earth's resources will eventually run out, no matter what you say. The ocean does have a lot of interesting things, but that doesn't mean that space has nothing. Distance is an obstacle, not a limiter, even if it's a bigger hurdle than we can currently cross. And for not having anything interesting within a reasonable distance, see Europa, Titan, Mars, Pluto, and the Oort Cloud. You will NEVER see anything in detail in a telescope, no matter how powerful it is. Space junk will be solved with reusable rockets.
I know this won't change your opinion but if you research more about space you would absolutely love it. Try it!
I dont get why people want to go to space. We have already put enough junk out there, and we have telescopes, we ca see there is literally nothing interesting within a reasonable distance. Why dont we spend this money on exploring the deep ocean, where there are atleast thousands of undiscovered creatures and other things. I mean humans havent even discovered a fully grown version of the longest squid discovered.

It was fun to watch though, yeah
@HuskyDynamics01 Your ship may have gone to waste, but that data, is in Outer Space.
@CL125 yes
@Dragoranos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nedelin_catastrophe
@Dragoranos definitely accidental homicide
@Dathcha
I don't believe it really changed your mind
Thanks :)
@Dragoranos thanks for a good explanation, definitely helped me see at least some reason in space and that it is not entirely pointless 👍

@Dragoranos its called Global Ordnance
Common SpaceX L
For a true scientist, anything is a success. Unless 300~ people die in the process, that means partial failure.
Don't ask what a catastrophic failure is.
rest in pepperonis big spaceX rocket
I loved it it was amazing and embarrassing for musk
