SpaceX / flat Earthers

So the second Starship test went somewhat better than the first one.  All 33 engines started and remained running until just before staging, and the second stage made it to its (sub)orbital trajectory.  But during boostback on the first stage, engines started failing again, and something started venting, and the entire stage exploded about 20 seconds after boostback began.  The second stage lost telemetry after SECO and they terminated it.  

Which means they proved out the new launch pad, the boost phase for the first stage, and the boost phase for the second stage.  Hot staging worked and they were able to test the second stage engines in vacuum and zero-G.  Obviously they have a few more things to fix, but they made a lot of progress.

Never ones to pass up an opportunity to misunderstand something, the Flat Earthers are explaining that the first stage hit the ‘firmament’ and exploded, thus proving the Earth is flat and the sky is a dome.
