SpaceX is getting ready for IFT-2, the current NET is on the 17th. FTS explosives have been installed, which probably means they got their launch licence.
While that is happening in Boca Chica, a rather scathing investigation was published yesterday by Reuters, regarding the safety culture in the company.

It's probably one of the most dangerous professions, blasting big rockets and moving human life around space and other planets. I mean plane crashes and explosions are horrific, a giant rocket filled with rocket thrusters and hundreds of tons of propellant that will be life ending for anything caught in that fireball. A catastrophic accident occurred at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Soviet Union during preparations for the launch of an R-16 ICBM.
Starship flight 2 on Friday potentially

STARSHIP LAUNCH SUMMARY:
- Starship got just below orbit
- Booster destroyed during hot staging
- SpaceX reporting that destruct system fired on upper stage towards end of burn
all in all a pretty good result: clean launch and separation, good performance on the booster during ascent (no engine mishaps this time)

It failed to enter the intended orbit and self-destructed triggered but much better this time
all 33 engines burning
clean separation
they're essentially doing this fast iterative approach like with the F9
