Nah. No one on the political spectrum f*cks with SpaceX. It's America's best foot forward if they're to win the new space race.

Watched the official SpaceX stream on YouTube.

Sucked that separation failed. Kinda impressive that it cleared the pad after 6 engines failed tho'.

I watched, it nearly left out atmosphere before exploding. Was there any pilot inside and was there any human casualty?

No, to both questions.

It was only a test. The full stack (booster + Starship) has never flown before. SpaceX had planned to lose both.

So the two stages were to separate. The booster doing a flip before crashing into the water. Then Starship gets to space and then reenters the atmosphere (to test its heat shield) before crashing into the water as well.

The separation didn't happen. So there'll be another test for these. And then another test for reusability where they try to recover both the booster and starship. Then there'll be multiple missions to deliver payloads to orbit. Starship will have to be successful in all these before it can be certified to have human occupants.
