The rocket was undergoing a static fire test of the stage, in which a vehicle is clamped to a test stand while its engines are ignited, when the booster broke free. According to a statement from the company, the rocket was not sufficiently clamped down and blasted off from the test stand “due to a structural failure.”

Video of the accidental ascent showed the rocket rising several hundred meters into the sky before it crashed explosively into a mountain 1.5 km away from the test site.

    I watched a couple videos from this channel and done a bit of research and:

    1. This guy never cites or show any sources and
    2. based on his video on the Falun Gong he actively twist the Truth

    I would recommend not to listen to a random guy who claims to be an “insider”

      I don’t think what he’s saying about Falun Gong is so far fetched to be outside the realm of plausibility.

      There’s been enough reports of similar treatment of other groups, like the Uyghurs and Tibetans, from reputable sources that I believe something is going on there.

      As for sources, if the CCP is half as bad as he makes them out to be, it would be irresponsible of him to give sources.

      I don’t know enough to refute anything you’ve said, but frankly you’re less credible than him right now. I mean no offense but you have a single comment on your account and you’ve offered nothing to support your claim of twisted truth.

      Too much smoke to conclude there’s no fire

        I’m not saying that the persecution against Falung Gong is fake, actually I believe is true, violence against minorities is another Wednesday for the CCP, but he specifically say that, and I quote: “Falun Gong is a meditation practice that started in 1992 in China. At the core of the Falun Gong are values of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.” But the omits the fact that that group is anti gay, anti feminism, anti evolution, is anti medicine and is leader is worshipped as a deity. I wouldn’t consider someone who spread such lies as a good source, because at that point he could be lying about anything, that’s Alex Jones level of manipulation of the Truth. And you’re right, the CCP is a terrible dictatorship, b8t all the info that I have said are freely accessible by an internet search, or even on Wikipedia, they’re not some hidden secret that need protection from the CCP such that he have the right to just say things without having to prove them.

        And yes, I only have this comments, I prefer to just lurk usually, but this doesn’t invalidate my points.
