Via. I suppose it may well be the first step on the journey to Mars, but it’s not exactly an auspicious first step, is it? Apparently they weren’t actually expecting a glowing success anyway, and the point of this test was as much about learning from anything that went wrong as anything else… at least, that’s their story and apparently they’re sticking to it, and in any case it looks like there’s plenty there for them to learn from. Hopefully they learn it before Elon’s planned private trip around the Moon (which was supposed to happen some time this year), cos you don’t want a spaceship containing a billionaire blowing up a few minutes into its flight. Or maybe you do.
