SpaceX says rocket launches could resume as soon as November

3. I honestly do not think that Musk would put profits over safety.

First, as any of the astronauts would tell one, going to space is inherently fucking dangerous. And yes, rockets sometimes explode.

Second, I think that return to flight may be premature because when a rocket explodes on a launch pad, that's a serious issue. Especially during a static test, which should be a routine matter. It would be a very bad thing to find out that there was a problem if the rocket exploded every time there was a problem. One would really hate to find out that all problems were fatal.

They are going to have to diagnose this before they try again. The Apollo 1 fire set back the program over a year. I am very interested in what SpaceX will do in response to this.

We will see.
