This article focuses on the failure and everyone is focused on the failure. I am saying that this is because many people don't understand that this is actually a success. A lot of people tend to take glee in things failing for Musk because of his views now, but this isn't really a failure, it is just a muted success.
I am woke now because I don't support allowing harassment of others? This is the first time anyone has ever called me woke.

#23Success was defined as the rocket leaving the launchpad. Suggesting that this test “failed” is at best a mischaracterisation.
Sure, but, nevertheless, I’d like to know why it exploded before declaring this a success!

#24Parts falling off, engines going out, something getting inside the interstage. That ship was an absolute fighter.

#25It appeared not all engines light up. Was it normal?

#26Very reminiscent of Soviet N1 rocket. Same concept. Similar problems.
Well, the launch pad survived this one.

Musk has many issues, but what is the point of bringing his grudge with Trans? The rocket is a great success and in the grand scale of things is worth the ego grandstanding. The man has done nothing illegal and has accomplished a lot amazing things. Congrats to SpaceX, Elon, the Americans and Humanity.
What good is freedom of thought and speech if one cannot exercise it? I probably drank the old american koolaid and have not yet had my sip of the new one.

The cheering was annoying, it felt like it was being forced by some cringey hype man.

I get that it is a successful test based on the goals they set out, but the cheering seemed staged to me. If that was my rocket, I'd be very upset that it came so close to total success but didn't make it. Maybe everyone at SpaceX is just super emotionally mature
