Not the first time that has been said in regards to Musk.Well that was disappointing
How very unexpected.
Starship has just launched!
Starship reached the separation stage before having an "unscheduled rapid disassembly". Elon Musk did say that if the launch-pad came through undamaged it would be seen as a successful attempt 
So....... It broke up?Starship reached the separation stage before having an "unscheduled rapid disassembly". Elon Musk did say that if the launch-pad came through undamaged it would be seen as a successful attempt
More like "BANG"!! But it had reached the altitude where the Starship was supposed to separate from the booster, so not bad for a first go.
Sniff that you reptile
Just watched the video.
I'd say 'not bad' is being very generous!
A couple of engines coughing and spluttering from the get go, then give up all together.
Then it starts going round a roundabout like it's lost in Swindon before somebody finally presses the button to stop the embarrassment.
Hopefully the first test pilot is Musk himself.

VV Cephei
The red supergiant, designated VV Cephei A, has an estimated radius between 1,050 and 1,900 times that of the Sun. If it took the Sun’s place in our solar system, its photosphere would stretch beyond the orbit of Jupiter and possibly come close to that of Saturn.

Size comparison between UY Scuti and the sun
The largest known star in our galaxy, and one of the largest stars ever discovered in the universe, UY Scuti is over 1,700 times larger than the sun. By volume, you could fit over 5 billion suns inside UY Scuti
which goes to show just how gigantic this star truly is. Despite its immense size, UY Scuti is only ten times the mass of the sun and 100,000 times as bright. UY Scuti is currently in the final stages of its life, and it is only as large as it is because the star has expanded as it nears the end of its life. Given its mass, UY Scuti will explode in a supernova, leaving behind either a neutron star or black hole.
VV Cephei
VV Cephei is an eclipsing binary star system located approximately 4,900 light years from Earth in the constellation Cepheus. It has an apparent magnitude of 4.91. The primary star in the system, VV Cephei A, is one of the largest known stars in the Milky Way. Even though its exact size is uncertain, the red supergiant is believed to have a radius between 1,050 and 1,900 times that of the Sun.The red supergiant, designated VV Cephei A, has an estimated radius between 1,050 and 1,900 times that of the Sun.

So basically VV Cephei = Ronald Koeman’s head.VV Cephei
