Clickbaiters are worse than Putin. Disgusting creatures.

Saving you a click:

SpaceX believes that vibrations caused a failure of a fuel line in the aft section of the upper stage (i.e., Starship, not its Super Heavy booster), leading to a fuel leak.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

You mean, for the shaking to cause an explosion? #tffo

Well there are a lot of these Starships exploding all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that Elon has enough humility to feel embarrassed.
