SpaceX Starship Exploded AGAIN, & Leaked Onboard Footage Shows SHOCKING Views. Also, IM-2 Fell Over.

Another jam-packed episode! 🚀 We had another thrilling Starship Integrated Flight Test - Flight 8 - though its ending might feel eerily familiar. Meanwhile, Ariane 6 made a spectacular commercial debut, China launched a military satellite to GEO, and Intuitive Machines’ latest Moon lander… well, let’s just say it had a rough landing (again).
Plus, we dive into the ongoing drama surrounding Elon Musk’s claims about the Biden administration and the ISS. All this and much more!
