Are you forgetting about the abort system which self-destructs the rocket if/when that happens?

- Teever 2y agoDidn't the abort system fail on the rocket that we're talking about? Or was that the one after?
- aeternum 2y agoTrajectory is planned such that the ballistic trajectory minimizes the probability it will hit land. So it is relatively safe even if the engines and abort system fails. You can see the trajectory here and how they thread it through the Caribbean islands & Cuba. https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2023/11/new-starship-launch-attempt-on-november.html https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2023/11/new-starship-launch...
