Submission + - Rapid unscheduled disassembly of a Starship rocket (apnews.com)

It marked the latest in a series of incidents involving Starship rockets. On Jan. 16, one of the massive rockets broke apart in what the company called a “rapid unscheduled disassembly,” sending trails of flaming debris near the Caribbean. Two months later, Space X lost contact with another Starship during a March 6 test flight as the spacecraft broke apart, with wreckage seen streaming over Florida."

I use it because Amazon Video won't play with my old version of the Chrome browser running on Win7 on my "TV computer". It will run on Firefox. That's all I use the computer for so I'm not worried about "security" with an old version of Windows. When it stops working, I'll move it to Linux Mint.
