Elon Musk's Biorhythms Must Be Out Of Whack
In its latest fiery failed test, SpaceX suffered a dramatic test malfunction on Monday when one of its rocket boosters burst into flames on the ground. The ground test-fire in Texas saw the Starship component unexpectedly erupt in a fireball, potentially delaying Elon Musk’s plans to launch his next-generation spacecraft, which is supposed to be going into orbit later in 2022. “Yeah, actually not good,” Musk tweeted in reply to a video of the fireball circulating on social media.

Friendly reminder. The pandemic is not over.
