Engineering teams are actively investigating the incident and will follow established procedures to determine root cause. Initial analysis indicates the potential failure of a pressurized tank known as a COPV, or composite overwrapped pressure vessel, containing gaseous nitrogen in Starship’s nosecone area, but the full data review is ongoing. There is no commonality between the COPVs used on Starship and SpaceX’s Falcon rockets.

My theory is that there are some blue haired liberal women working at SpaceX that are sabotaging these rockets.
My theory is Musk has a bunch of 22 year old script kiddies who think they're the smartest people in the world, "vibe coding" their CFD and FEA simulations.

I would imagine they have a contingency plan in place to keep testing going with the Massey's test stand offline

Maybe the OLM is an option?



The OLM was used before Massy came around. Soon, there will be another OLM at Pad B. The Pad B OLM is rumored to be modular in design as it can be swapped easily between launches. Smoke em if you got em!
