It looks like it got taken down from Twitter once the alert was over (gee I wonder why they did that fucking elon god I hate him). Here’s the DDG cache of the text though:
I see. It does seem weirdly phrased then though since there was no debris near Hawaii.
They do still mention it in this tweet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_flight_15
Based on this, the crash was a few km off of the launch in (blue) Texas, and it seems the 2nd stage has just landed without imcident. The rocket afaik has no other parts than the two stages, and wikipedia just mentions Hawaii as a possible abort location that wasn’t used.
So I think this was not debris but “chance of debris”? Since it’s a quote you can’t blame the article for clickbait though I suppose. Kinda a weird thing though.
Yeah, not sure what the chain of reasoning was. But IDK, not sure it’s clickbait exactly? The reason it was shut down was because they were being cautious and ensuring nobody could get hit by space debris. It’s kinda too late to shut it down once the debris has already been generated.
It’d be a deliberate deorbit. So someone would deliberately decide if debris would go down or not.
It’s more like reserving a spot in my view.
If something important enough came up they could just … not.
I suppose that’s worse since everything was held up to keep options open. Fuck all dem flights I guess.
To be fair I assume the thing was registered before the outage happened.
