The mission was also as low-risk as possible, but the rocket still exploded. There was no dummy payload and far less fuel, the mission was much shorter.
I mean, considering how many rockets spacex has blown up already this isn’t really that surprising. Sometimes the fastest way to figure out how to not blow stuff up is by blowing stuff up. And if it doesn’t blow up then hey, great, on to the next thing.
It’ll stop. Starship is still under development, with an engine type that’s never been flown before. Their smaller rocket, Falcon 9, had many public explosions but is now the US rocket with the most launches and the best safety record.
Soyuz remains king. It will be a long time before Soyuz’s safety record is overturned.
The April flight lasted three minutes and got 39 km high, while this flight lasted eight minutes and got 148 km high. What do you mean the mission was shorter? Anyway, it’s always a little funny when they explode.

That only matters if you eventually stop blowing shit up

It was shorter than any kind of a real mission would be, mainly because of less payload/fuel. The first flight wasn’t supposed to last only 3 minutes.
Oh okay so you were comparing this to a real mission, gotcha.
