BREAKING NEWS: Here is SpaceX's official statement on Flight 8 RUD.

Unfortunate. But it reinvigorates just how insanely hard all this is. They caught another booster. Each flight is a success. It’s data to do better the next flight. SpaceX will get it right. After all. Nobody else has either.

New single just landed! take the journey

The fact the way this protects the public if things like this occur just speaks volumes of how hard they worked to think about every possible scenario - to have the safest plan for the public . Thank you for the well broadcasted statement ❤️.

As usual, Ellie is best first reporter of the facts.

Excellent reporting, Ellie 🫡

It’s called blowing up. Enough with the RUD shit.

Such a shame the ship was lost but we know SpaceX will sort it..they are an incredible group..

Is it hot staging that’s the culprit?

I'm really sad about this flight, almost appears like no progress since flight 7
