SpaceX Starship

Americans are currently trying to privatise space exploration so they can bring down some of the costs. One company that has taken the challenge is SpaceX.  They made a heavy duty rocket called 'Starship' and tested it a few days ago. 

It landed then exploded. Quite a lot of the prototypes seem to do that, they fall over or just explode for no obvious reason. I wonder how the NASA Astronauts feel about going into space on these privately made space rockets. After seeing them blow up I would feel quite worried myself. 

Privatisation doesn't always work. In the 90s us Brits privatised the railways, I consider them to be very bad value for money. If I wanted to go from High Wycombe to Newcastle I would need to buy tickets for 3 different train operators so I would be ripped off. Also there is no competition between the train operators so they don't have much pressure to improve their service, to cut a long story short I would say that privatisation has ruined British rail. The price I would pay just to go to the next county is the same price it costs to go all the way across Germany and Germany is much bigger than the UK. Plus the trains would be quicker and more reliable.
