Reason number 75 people should always be well clear of these tests. When you build a rocket, you are essentially building a guided bomb that you are crossing your fingers doesn’t explode outside the chamber.
Russia lost a good chunk of their rocket scientists in the early 1900s when a blast from one of these took put everything within like a mile radius.

Yup, except for the really important guage that is installed on the pad, that only Elon musk is smart enough to be able to understand.
He absolutely has to monitor that guage in realtime.
I mean, we were cowboying this stuff back in the day. The science was not very exact, so its hard to know what the blast radius is. I will say, you only make that mistake once.

If you can’t calculate a blast radius accurately, how good of a scientist are you really?
