SpaceX Starship Flight Test, Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly Terminology
SpaceX conducted a live-streamed launch of the Starship rocket from Texas, featuring 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster. During the flight test, the vehicle experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly," or RUD, which the hosts identify as a specific corporate euphemism for an explosion. The discussion highlights the technical achievements of the hot stage separation despite the booster's eventual failure to land.

00:00 Reboot the router. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday March 14th 2024 this is your award winning Give Our Nation Media assassination episode 1642 This Is No Agenda. Tracking TikTok trouble and broadcasting live from the heart of the Tictusua country here in FEMA region number six In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're tracking to SpaceX Rocket! I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning. We're not tracking the SpaceX rocket. You know, like Gene... Sir Gene He always texts me like it launched Well you know that it's being launched from Texas you should be right on top of this well No I'm not if that's what I have gene for that Jean takes care of their stuff
00:50 Regarding the rocket, I have a Ask Adam right off the bat. Oh my goodness! Okay all right. You're at the ready. It's just coincidence that i had it ready. Is it crazy? All right what is this Space X-Bee question? Here's the premise So they're live-streaming the SpaceX launch of this big giant rocket that's supposed to go to Mars. With 33 after burning nitro burnin' funny cars. Yeah, and on yeah and so during the prelim they're yakking away about this in that so they start talking about the different tests
01:34 That typically blew up and now is this thing going to the moon or is it just gonna float around for no? This is gonna know this one's just gonna go around their earth and then crash into the ground Oh groovy Land on the pad like it always does like oh, no they actually the booster in this case said It didn't light upright And I wasn't gonna land on the pad anyway They're just throwing stuff away, so okay. Yes This is part of the prelim they go into discussion about the last rocket launch the second version of this thing and it ends with a very interesting little It's just I just begs for an ask Adam before we dive into the details of today's test Let's recap the achievements of our last integrated flight test flight to
02:21 All 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster started up successfully and for the first time completed a full duration burn during ascent. As you can see here, we saw amazing views of each Raptor engine burning during that ascent which is something something awesome because we don't get to see that with Falcon and its Merlin engines. Now next Starship executed a successful hot stage separation powering down all but three of Super Heavy's Raptor engines and successfully igniting the six second-stage Raptor engines before the vehicle separated this is the first time this technique has been done successfully with a vehicle of this size in scale well
02:58 Following separation, the super heavy booster successfully performed its flip maneuver and initiated the boost back burn. However about 30 seconds into that burn it experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly or rut. That's SpaceX speak for... A rut! Rapid unscheduled disassembly everybody mm-hmm okay what's the ask Adam I'm good at this. Did you hear the very last ending? Yeah, the RUD. No the very last ending where she says something... Oh hold on let me listen again. ...unscheduled disassembly or RUD that's SpaceX speak for... Oh that's SpaceX speak for
03:42 Okay, that's space X now. We know musk is a truth-teller and all the rest so so I'm asking you what is gonna be Their space x speak is it going to before it exploded? It blowed up What give you have to what do you think that dick cuz you know Musk is a straight talker So what do you think that she's gonna say next oh Well, it's clearly not gonna be blowed up or explosion because that wouldn't be SpaceX speak Which is a show title if I ever heard one spacex speak. I'd say Failure you don't have the creativity of space X. You'll never work there Okay, here's the answer unscheduled disassembly or rut that spacex speak for an exciting end to the boosters journey
04:37 An exciting end to the Boosters journey. Hey baby, I'm gonna rudge you tonight! That's my Adam speak for an exciting end to an Adam journey. Woohoo! I'm surprised...I thought that you would certainly bring us up-to-date on the Grand Sumo highlights It just started. I know what it means we've had three days four days already mean who whose and who was on first? Yeah, who's this about five or six guys tied? It doesn't it won't start to shake out for a few more days. I'm always excited when when you mean you do that stuff. You give us all those grand sumo update at least here in Fuji and some of the other at least did the Yokozuna is in place. That's because he won the last one. The guys won nine tournaments so far if Yokozuna is in play. I'm glued to it
