SpaceX test goes horribly wrong

SpaceX’s Starship prototype partially exploded during pressure testing at Boca Chica, Texas, on November 20.

The cryogenic loading trial was part of the spaceship’s propellant testing, and appeared to go very wrong. In a statement, SpaceX said: “The purpose of today’s test was to pressurise systems to the max, so the outcome was not completely unexpected.Elon Musk’s Starship prototype covered a launch complex in huge plumes of frosty liquid nitrogen during a test failure. Picture: SuppliedThe most likely candidate for the fluid is liquid nitrogen, an extremely cold form of nitrogen used to rapidly cool objects.In either case, the temperature of the fluids involved would’ve been very chilly.

The Starship appeared to be largely intact after the event, although the structure would’ve been put under immense pressure.And passengers will be carted to them from the mainland via underground shuttles.Musk tweeted: “Most Starship spaceports will probably need to be ~20 miles / 30km offshore for acceptable noise levels, especially for frequent daily flights, as would occur for point to point flights on Earth.

Couldn’t give a rats about the tournament knowing how long it goes for. Ridiculous system, why 120 points? I didn't even know that it existed! Pretty simple, 5 or 4 test series, 20 pts for away win, 15 pts for a home win, 10 pts each for a draw, 3, 2 or 1 test series, 15 pts for away win, 10 pts for home, 5 each for draw, bonus 5 pts for innings win
