That's a glorious boom

But that's why they do testing, it's cheaper to boom on testbed than on a launch pad or in the air

Could you possibly whitewash this any harder?

I don't think that means what you think it means.

Agreed. "Spin" would be the better word.

It's another embarrassment added to a long list of embarrassments at this point. SpaceX has utterly failed to deliver on its contracts and at some point people need to recognize that the private sector does not always do it better. Especially when the company is run by a conman.
