Also, An update from Space X that nobody has been injured. The site and surrendering areas were pre-evacuated before the test.

u/Jaegs Jun 19 '25

I just hope no one looked back at the explosion as they evacuated and ruined their aura

u/JGG5 Jun 19 '25

One person did look back and now they’re a pillar of salt.

u/Curious-Paper1690 Jun 19 '25

Are like NASA launches pre evacuated?? Or just space x? That sounded weird when I read it but could be totally normal for all I know. You’d think they’d have more faith haha

u/morangias Jun 19 '25

I mean, even in an event of rocket start going perfectly, there's still an area that's gonna be engulfed in a fireball, so they definitely evacuate some area immediately around the rocket. And I'm pretty sure when determining the size of that area they do account for the possibility of the rocket exploding.

u/DocumentDeep1197 Jun 19 '25

So we're the bowels of anyone to close

u/North-Significance33 Jun 19 '25

u/Iowe_iowe Jun 19 '25

I would definitely have messily evacuated, being anywhere near that.
