MSNBC hosts mock Elon Musk after SpaceX mishap: 'Go back to your day job'
2025-03-09
[FoxNews] After SpaceX's eighth suborbital flight test of its fully integrated Starship megarocket on Thursday ended in an explosion, MSNBC hosts dug into CEO Elon Musk, saying, "Go back to your day job and work that out."

One of the goals of the flight was to catch Starship's Super Heavy booster, one of two major components, using the "chopsticks" on the launch tower, which was completed successfully.

However, similar to its last flight test in January, its upper stage, once in space, started spinning uncontrollably before losing contact and breaking apart, sending debris plunging back to Earth.
Iterative debugging is his process. Once the plan is laid out, Mr. Musk needn’t hover over the shoulders of the scientists and engineers doing the work. But there are always ignorant carpers, who fortunately need not understand any of it to complain that it isn’t being done their way.

#2  I mean, come on, it is MSDNC after all. You could tell them that the space ship bounced off the lid and they'd believe it.
