I think your theory about Ship 31's temporary change of career to a weld-master LOL You can see the very large ejection of cryogenic nitrogen when we see those huge sparks and then a continuous spray after the large burst.... I don't see any other possibilities ... not unless the short came first and it was so big that it melted a hole into the cryo-pipe which, under a bunch of pressure, ripped open and spit out a bunch of nitrogen.... but that really doesn't seem as likely.. I think the pipe bursting first, THEN the sghort7 happened from the wires becoming damaged. You mentioned hydraulic lines in the raceway too.... I'm fairly certain this wasn't a hydraulic line that broke.. it was for sure carrying cryogenic nitrogen..... if it was hydraulic fluid we would have seen it spraying everywhere and not that huge cloud.... PLUS it may have even caught fire from those sparks if it was hydraulic fluid..... I'm not sure if it's flammable, but if it is then it's a pretty stupid idea having it next to such high power electric lines... just in case of a situation exactly like this.... BUT during a REAL flight it wouldn't be nitrogen in those lines... so this could have lead to a HUGE RUD on the test stand!!!! - - - MAYBE SpaceX should consider NOT HAVING HIGH POWER WIRES NEXT TO THE ROCKET FUEL PIPES!!!!! - WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!?!? (I REALLY hope I'm completely wrong about this, because that sounds like a REALLY STUPID placement and a disaster just WAITING TO HAPPEN!!) - It really seems like SUCH and EASY FIX too! they could run the electric line just outside the raceway and then just ADD ANOTHER COVER... this separates the electric from the fuel.. I mean WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?!? - - This is pretty important IMO Marcus... do you think you could ask Elon on X about this? He would respond to you before any of us and it's not just your channel that is bringing this up... Maybe you could get him to explain what this was :)

OHHH CRAP... SORRY!!! You said 'PNEUMATIC' pipe....not 'HYDRAULIC' pipes..... so do you mean it's AIR in those pipes, and not hydraulic fluid? In that case there shouldn't be any risk of fire (not unless they use O2 or methane as the 'air' lol I doubt that tho) - but still.... hopefully Elon could tell us about this one

But once Starship succeeds at multiple launching and re-entry splashdowns and catches. Dragon could be a major spoiler if Space X uses it. It allows Space X to time mitigate the manned certification portion of launch, refueling, and reentry of Starship. Allowing Space X to use the certified Dragon as a taxi for the crew once in orbit after launch or refueling, or even leave before reentry. Congress may begin to defund some of that. Not the early stuff that is already in progress. Probably the later launches that ULA will go hat in hand asking for more money.

And with that said, there are still people saying that starship will never succeed. Idk how people can be so willfully obtuse. Idk, I tend to think that it’s just obsessive “Elon derangement syndrome”. In fact a buddy of mine who loves everything space, but hates Musk, he always tells me that SpaceX loses money on every launch, there’s no way they turn a profit, it’s all a money shell game, the rich do it all the time, Falcon 9 isn’t truly reusable, it more than likely costs them more to refurbish the booster/engines than to simply build new, and on and on and on… No matter what anecdotes or even proofs to the contrary I provide him, he refuses to budge. It’s almost like it’s political with some…🤔….😳….hey, wait a minute??

You have to wonder who got paid to make sure ULA gets US DoD flights even if the Pentagon has to wait. I'd be curious to know why Falcon Heavy wasn't awarded the work since they have been flight ready for years now.

After years and years of problems and troubleshooting Starliner was going to carry people on that flight and they only found out that the pressurant of their propulsion system was leaking out (of a single thruster flange) by accident after the flight was scrubbed. That's not a minor issue that can be dismissed so easily like "so doesn't seem like an issue that will hold things up long".

At least Noah's SE to NW new moon tidal tsunamis don't wash across the continents up there. Old & New testament covenant along with a New Commandment to unite us all. Jesus did say all would be revealed and he would write the truth about the crossing of the Sun's magnetic equator on your heart. Your heart & brain are like the earth's double torus magnetosphere & the Sun's OOrt cloud magnetosphere is a glory & the Galaxies Fermie cells are another kind of magnetosphere glory. It's not you. It's not CO2. It is the earth's orbits crossing the ecliptic of the Sun's double torus OOrt cloud magnetosphere for the next millennium. These are just the birthing pains of this the millennium of climate change end times. Mystery of the 7 star crossings Jesus held in his hand is Obliquity in the Galactic Milanovitch climate cycles. The truth shall set humanity free from the pharaohs/pharisees. Come to Jesus as time is short & your worm never dies.

Pressure containment breach of tank detached wiring causing the fire. The fire is relatively inconsequential, it's the breach of the tank that is the issue. Ship 31 is going to be scrapped after thorough investigation; no repairs. Will possibly cause some delay as SpaceX revalidates welding on other test articles. Not to worry, this is part of the process and why testing is done. Better to be safe than sorry.

Here’s a thought. Scrap starlinner, and provide SpaceX with the funds.

I really thought that once the BE4 engines were delivered and the first launch was essentially flawless, ULA was over the hump and we would see launch cadence increasing steadily and significantly. Now we learn that ULA is up for sale (let us hope that powers that be don't convince themselves that letting BO buy it is a good idea) and probably won't launch for 8 or 9 months from their first launch. And the US Space force is publicly expressing doubts about ULA's ability to fulfill its contract obligations. What a debacle! (That's not the word I really wanted to use -- it's kind of prissy!)

I think someone forgot to open a valve or a valve got stuck. In hydraulic situations, it's known as deadheading. If you're moving pressure through a pipe and there's no place for the pressure to go, you'll blow a pipe or a hose. In this case, it looks like a pipe blew, and as it bent over, it crimpped a few wires and caused a short. And Bob's your uncle.
