Elon Musk Releases Superb ‘Greatest Hits’ Video Of SpaceX Explosions

SpaceX are currently flying high, having gone a while without a proper orbital booster explosion. Of course that wasn't always the case.

Once you’ve succeeded, it’s always a little easier to look back on the blunders that came before.

Take for example Elon Musk and SpaceX, who had quite a few speed bumps on the way to where they are today.

SpaceX has now managed to land a total of 16 Falcon 9 first stage orbital boosters, and it’s been a while since one went up in smoke and flames.

They did suffer a number of ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly events’, which to the rest of us is an explosion, and Elon decided to have a little fun with the footage.

He posted the video below to his Instagram and Twitter, so get ready for some fireworks:
