Taking to Twitter, he wrote, "The most important contribution to business by Elon Musk will not be Tesla, or SpaceX but his powerful attitude to risk. Most would be terminally daunted by such a ¡®failure.¡¯ But when you set up each initiative as a learning experiment (and of course, have raised the resources to do so) you essentially extend the frontiers of knowledge and progress. Salute!"
SpaceX blew up the uncrewed rocket four minutes after it blasted off from Starbase, the SpaceX spaceport in Boca Chica, Texas.?Despite the failure to complete the full 90-minute flight test and reach orbit, SpaceX and Elon Musk declared it a success.
"Congrats SpaceX team on an exciting test launch of Starship!" Musk tweeted. "Learned a lot for next test launch in a few months."
"With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and we learned a tremendous amount about the vehicle and ground systems today that will help us improve on future flights of Starship," SpaceX said in a statement.
This is not the first time billionaire Anand Mahindra has tweeted about Elon Musk. From tagging?Elon Musk?in a picture of a bullock cart to tweeting Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib when Elon Musk acquired Twitter, the Mahindra group chairman has tweeted several times mentioning the Tesla and Twitter CEO.
