The crash at the end was the best part.

Somebody needs to work on the braking system for that thing.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

It was a fantastic first launch...When they work the bugs out of the 3 jets,it will be right on...Hard to brake on just one...

There was that slight issue with the so-called "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly" (Elon Musk's own words!) on landing...which I think is nerdspeak for "it went boom"...but still, impressive.

I'll give Elon Musk his full due. The dude is not afraid to fail, spectacularly...which is why he succeeds so very often in pulling off stuff nobody else would even consider trying. The RUD event at the end was probably a buzzkill but at the end of the day what he mostly wanted to do was launch the thing and then have his people absorb reams of data about what exactly was working and especially what wasn't...and they'll go and do about 20,0000 bugfixes and then try again. Sooner rather than later he'll get it right.

At which point the USA will have something astounding: heavy lift capability on a scale it's never even contemplated before.

They really, truly intend to be at Mars by 2030. That might end up being overly ambitious but that's never bothered Musk before.
