Starship is a radically different kind of rocket, and as such nobody really expected it to work perfectly on the first try, says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Center for Astrophysics Harvard & Smithsonian who tracks the space business. "Everybody here is absolutely pumped to get off the pad and make it this far into the test flight," a SpaceX announcer said shortly after the rocket broke apart.
