  1. This newscaster is a Musk hating sheep doing his best to make this seem like Elon doesn’t know what’s going on or that it was a failure. Luckily he kept getting corrected. The launch alone was a success!

  2. CBS and other news companies don't have a clue and just sound stupid when reporting. This was a success as the ticket lifted off and flew. Any extra after that was a bonus. This wasn't going to the moon and back! Stop watching clueless new reports!

  3. "The launch was a failure" The only failure here is your ability to research your topic properly. The rocket successfully lifted off and flew for several minutes, providing precipus telemetry along with data about the launch pad. Elon Musk said before the launch that literally all he was hoping from this test launch is that it doesn't damage the infrastructure on the ground.

  4. Well, if it was a firework, then it was a great success. Unfortunately, it’s supposed to be a spacecraft 😂. Why spend billions of dollars and risk a launch just to watch it blow up? This isn’t the 1960’s. We have the technology and resources to build a functioning model without wasting billions of dollars. This was an epic failure. And if you believe otherwise, you’re probably of the “everyone gets a trophy” generation.

  7. It was a failure. Elon Musk and SpaceX is just trying to put a spin on it. No one wants their rocket to explode – not ever. Especially one that's supposed to be carrying people. Instead of commenting on everything in the world – even commenting on things that don't even concern him – Elon Musk needs to focus on his companies. They'll get back to the drawing board, they'll work hard, and hopefully the next one doesn't explode.
