Hope everyone was okay, the article doesn’t talk about injuries.

Personnel are evacuated from McGregor whenever a test is to be performed, just like they are with Starbase.

There is absolutely zero chance anyone got hurt. This isn't Boeing.

I'm confident enough in that to put my money where my mouth is.

SpaceX has been very transparent about their testing procedures and it is established that testing locations are always evacuated for any kind of test, as is required by the FAA. If you really wanna cast doubt on this, then why don't we put some money on it?

Your response is even more sus. You keep your money, Comrade. Sounds like you need it

oh aren't you a treat. For a second I almost had you mistaken for one the few Moskal typewriter monkeys who remembered to bring a joke book, but now I'm beginning to worry that you're own of my those fellow constituents of ours who's succumbed to the brain rot.

At least we won't have to worry about you voting for a few more years, judging by the way you act kiddo. Or perhaps you are old enough, but the polling place is too sus for your precious intellect.

Word of advice though, if you'd want any hopes of being employable or perhaps even making IRL friends, ditch whatever this is you think you're doing with your attitude, it just ain't working in your favor. While you're at it, might also help to learn the definition of the word "untenable"-- if you need a visual example, any mirror should do the trick.

Anyway, maybe put down the smartphone and walk a natural trail or visit the library bud. Based on your comments, you owe it to yourself badly. I mean, if you fancy yourself a socialist then why aren't you taking advantage of the freely available public recreational services that our tax dollars fund to live a better life? Everyone else is, and it makes dealing with this late stage capitalist hellscape just a bit more tolerable.

Holy shit you have a lot of free time! Don’t you have a sticker you should be putting on your car?!!

You really think it took any time at all to write that? I was on Reddit for more than a decade, writing diatribes is second nature to me.

Besides, at least I put some thought behind my comments which is obviously more than can be said about some particular individuals.

If they didn't think they had a chance of exploding, they wouldn't be testing them
