Enjoy (video, 59 seconds). The BBC’s piece is here, Elon Musk’s Starship booster captured in world first.

As Elon told me some months ago in one of our regular Zoom calls, by way of explanation, “Hell, Mike, it’s only common sense. The first time we allowed female engineers to design a bridge over a highway, the damned thing fell down!!!”
