Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "A Successful Launch"

From our local anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -

"A Successful Launch"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3625


"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. Thank you to 
our customers, Cameron County, and the wider community for the 
continued support and encouragement. And congratulations to the entire 
Space team on an exciting first flight test of Starship!"

— SpaceX statement 04.20.2023


"Where's the KABOOM?
There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering KABOOM!"

— Marvin The Martian


So, I was hitting some sativa bud and banging my head on the table the 
other day trying to shake loose a decent France uprising cartoon, and 
THIS weirdness fell out. I'd given up on a France cartoon at the 
moment and was just doing my daily space geekery, reading about the 
spectacular SpaceX launch failure and the attendant "hah, I MEANT to 
do that" spin from SpaceX, when I found my train of thought wandering 
to the Twitter valuation crash and the Paid Blue Check shitshow and 
was suddenly, like...

...like, yeah; Musk was really laughing off the Twitter valuation and 
the hot mess about the paid Blue Check accounts that's been all over 
the news lately, and then a day or two later another one of his 
goddamn Starship tests goes sideways on him and the SpaceX PAO flacks 
are babbling a bunch of balloon juice about how much they learned 
today, and it was one of those moments of inspiration and serendipity 
that screamed "quit twisting your panties trying to think of a France 
cartoon for a moment and jump on THIS shit, man! Here it is!" Like, 
yeah — crashing and burning, in metaphor and reality.
