SpaceX Starship SN4 launch vehicle prototype explodes after static engine test
This is the 4th Starship that has imploded or exploded.   They only lost 3 Falcon 1's before their first successful flight, and Elon has publicly stated that a 4th failure would have bankrupted the company.Those three Falcon flights were attempts to reach orbit with rockets that weren't prototypes so the failures were more significant, and they probably blew up a bunch of Falcon prototypes behind closed doors prior to the launch attempts, but it's interesting how three failures on Falcon was a big deal but four failures on Starship isn't.   SpaceX is certainly in a different and much less precarious position now than it was in 2006-2008.
