spacex is growing into our community.cex and elon musk are actively handing out money here and there stop it is becoming political hush money. it is buying out politicians. we have seen when spacex testing goes wrong, they goes down and burns down a wildlife refuge. political officials turning the other way. i have personally been impacted now by spacex buying out to me to out politicians when last year four police broke into my apartment, when i asked for a warrant and try to put on my shoes, they threatened me with resisting arrest. they jailed the for 26 hours. then i come to find out once i am released, mayor trey mendez, who is still in office for the next months, has -- he posted my mugshot on his official -- amy: he is the current mayor? >> he is. his term ends in may and is chosen not to run for reelection. he has doxxed me. he posted my job, trying to get me fired. he singled me out and targeted me because i have been speaking about the dangers of spacex for years. what this means is the city is signaling to us t

so it's interesting how spacex is now intertwined with nasa.is what will take humans to the moon. hopefully in the next few years, you're looking at nasa pictures here of the launch site. people lined up to see it. they will feel it. i think as they see it as you describe miles o'brien don't go far because when this thing launches if it launches, we're going to want more from you shortly. thank you so much. miles sarah, always so cool to see you guys chat, and i love him. and i love the idea of being able to sit there and watch this wonder it's a wonder going to the moon almost as cool as speaking two miles. not quite. yeah. all right back here on earth. at least two people are dead in oklahoma after multiple tornadoes touched down in that state. both deaths were reported in the small town of coal that's south of oklahoma city tornado caused widespread and significant damage. officials are searching for debris for survivors and fear the number of people killed could rise when local storm chaser was right in the middle of this intense storm. loo

how is spacex affected by that? >> as a parent my inclination is to tell him to get off social media and pay attention to something important. he's obviously got a lot of irons in the fire. there's all kinds of controversy. he is a famous or infamous micromanager on top of all of that. how that all works i don't know. but i do know that the team he has built at spacex is pretty extraordinary. he's got a lot of great talent. his number two who makes a lot of the key decisions is an extraordinarily talented space executive. all i can say is from the outside he's got a lot of good people who are well-trained in the space world. whether he's paying full attention are not may not matter that much. geoff: when spacex says they are going to attempt another launch in a few months, how is that even possible? they have replica rockets in storage? >> they have a production facility in texas. this was not meant to be recovered. that production line still is there. those rockets are still in the state of readiness they were befo

spacex has had plenty of rocket failures the bottom line is, as you know, spacex has had very, very muching astronauts to the space station. so this is the next stage. this was the most powerful, the biggest rocket ever. it's possible not all the unfort engines were firing, so the first test ever of this entire integrated stack, something went wrong. thankfully nobody was on board this rocket, no satellites on board. this was strictly a test flight to see if it could orbit the earth in 90 minutes and then it came back. it pretty much broke apart over the gulf of mexico i love the spacex language starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly before stage separation, right? only a rocket scientist would talk like that it blew up that's what happened the whole thing came apart the good news is nobody injured on the ground. it all apparently fell into the gulf of mexico, and teams are now going to work on trying to recover all of it, and elon musk is saying congratulations for a test flight. didn't go well, but they'll learn from it. they always do, and they hope to try again in a few

spacex says destructed the rocket because some of the boosters were not firing.this is their first integrated test flight. it won't be their last. um and they're going to take what they learned from here and, um, go from there and figure out what they do. next space. ex boss elon musk wants to launch starship into earth's orbit with the eventual goal of taking humans back and forth to the moon and even mars . it's designed to eventually carry 100 passengers and to carry 100 tons of cargo for just $50 million. compare that to the old nasa space shuttles, which cost $1.5 billion to lift only a quarter of that weight, not nearly as far. rocket can launch so much more payload into space. for example, uh, they will launch a huge number of satellites, making it cheaper to launch satellites could improve life here on earth with everything from more accurate weather forecasts to better navigation systems, but it won't be easy must put the odds of reaching orbit yesterday at 50 50, saying just clearing the launchpad would be a win, president kennedy said 60 years ago. we

spacex have then set their sights on mars.a astronaut and chemical engineer leroy chiao gave us a sense of what to expect during the launch. i feel pretty confident that they're going to get this vehicle into orbit or into space, and it will complete almost one full orbit before splashing down. i think there's a pretty good chance it's going to work out. in any development programme — especially the first launch of a new vehicle — there's a much higher risk of having an incident, something go wrong that you hadn't anticipated or hadn't checked out thoroughly. but they've gone through this methodically. you're right, there have been several prototypes of both the starship itself — which is the payload in this case — as well as the test firings of the falcon super—heavy booster 33 clustered engine. not a small deal — that's a huge deal. you can imaginejust the plumbing alone is kind of a nightmare. but all that has to work for it to successfully launch. so, you know, this is certainly not a sure thing by any means, but i'll be w

but actually, spacex would have been very pleased with how far they got today.s. they got flight data, lots of flight data and they got very close to that point where the two parts of the rocket would normally separate. i think they'll be pretty pleased, actually, with what they've seen today, and they've already got another rocket — this is how fast they work — they've already got another working rocket virtually ready to go, and they've got others in various stages of assembly that they will bring on after that one. maybe by the end of this year, we will see one go completely all the way through its flight plan. we have more on the spacex launch on our website. that is our programme at this hour. thank you for watching bbc news. i am thank you for watching bbc news. iam in thank you for watching bbc news. i am in washington. news. iam in washington. stay with us. hello there. our weather story for friday is a tale of two halves, the best of the weather once again through scotland and northern ireland, closest to this area of high pressure. these little weather

spacex is working with a $3 billion nasa contract. there have been some dramatic explosions. but today the nasa administrator congratulated the company. "every great achievement throughout history has demanded some level of calculated risk," he wrote, "because with great risk comes great reward." musk spoke about risk with nbc news in 2021. >> this is -- space is risky. more than anything else, i just want to make sure we do everything possible to maximize the safety of the crew. >> reporter: musk says valuable lessons will be learned from today. another test launch is scheduled in a few months. stephanie gosk, nbc news. >>> in 60 seconds, car repossessions skyrocket as more americans have trouble making their payments. what you can do the easese the pain n and prevevent a proboblem. with wet a amd, sometitimes i woworry my wororld is g getting smamaller bebecause of m my sight. but nonow, i i can open u up my worldd with v vabysmo. vabysmo isis the firstst fda-apapproved trereatment for peoplele with wet t amd that i improves vivision anand deliversrs a chancee for up to o 4

and in february, spacex engineers did this.vehicle's lowest segment. the spacex founder, elon musk, has often talked of building cities on mars. last week, the firm shared this computer—generated video showing astronauts landing on the red planet. this launch will be uncrewed, but elon musk isn't100% sure that it'll be successful. take a look at this tweet he posted... well, the us space agency will be hoping that it is successful — it has chosen the starship capsule to take its astronauts to the moon as part of its artemis iii mission, which is due in late 2025. that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello. it was a drier weekend for many. still quite a bit of cloud around, but in the sunshine we saw temperatures reached just about 19 celsius in northern ireland. that's the warmest day of the year so far. and we could see the high teens again during the day on monday, the start of the week, certainly a little warmer with some sunshine. and on the whole, it's a drier week ahead, but there will be some showers around. an

tom, so sp spacex they say this test flight is still a major milestone.sk say give me that quote again. >> listen, you have to -- we all take great -- we all take great delight in the rocket terminology, rocket scientists and what they call this. this wasn't an explosion this was a rapid unscheduled disassembly before separation. that's what spacex said. >> i would call that a euphemism. >> right we've all had those mornings, right, a rapid unscheduled disassembly. >> i feel disassembled today >> well, listen, the bottom line is you're right, this was an explosion four minutes into launch, and elon musk is saying, well, it could have been worse, which is true. he's suggesting we should be taking the success where there is success they got off the pad they got four minutes into flight all of that's good because you don't want to have an explosion on the pad per se, right then you wouldn't have the pad to come back to. so what they now got to figure out is why did this rocket completely dissemble why did it not stay intact now, this is a -- as you mentioned

if you look at spacex, they have upended the rocket industry.mess because it hasn't got the rockets. the rest of the world is going to america and elon musk because he has exceptional rockets. the one he currently flies now. even that will be wiped out by the severe cold. i have got a picture i wanted to show you. this is what we saw as the rocket was climbing into the skype is you will notice these are all of the engines, 33 engines. we are missing some lights, missing six lights. it appears the rocket took off with three not working and lost three during the process of the flight, as the rocket climbed. i could see some asymmetry turning on the video. eventually got to that stage where the flight should have separated, to go off into space, and that never happened. we got this big explosion, which i would have thought would have been commanded by the computers. they would have realised it was out of control, and they would have ignited some charges and destroyed it. we have that in the past with other vehicles. actually, spacex would have been
