It happened! Elon Musk declared this after China Rocket “Weird Bent” and Explosion...
A Chinese Long March 7A rocket has exploded just 85 seconds after launch, triggering a new debate over China’s space program and Elon Musk’s surprising response. In this video, we break down what happened, the possible failure points, and why the incident could affect China’s upcoming Chang’e-7 Moon mission. We also compare China’s launch strategy with SpaceX, Starship, and Elon Musk’s approach to rapid, reusable rocket development. From Starship Flight 13 and Raptor engines to NASA’s Artemis program, Starship HLS, lunar missions, and China’s Long March 10, this analysis explores the growing space race between SpaceX and China—and what it could mean for America’s return to the Moon.
This Chinese rocket just exploded once again! But unlike previous explosions, this one was far more serious—it brought an end to the rocket’s five-year streak of successful missions.
This is a major blow to China’s space program. And as a rival, Elon Musk might have every reason to take pleasure in it.
However, what you probably wouldn’t expect is that the billionaire CEO had a very different reaction.

It all begins with his post on X on August 11th: "Rockets are insanely hard. There is a reason for the idiomatic expression. I hope they have a speedy recovery."
That's right. He's consoling a competitor. He's consoling the one program putting a real clock on America's Moon schedule. That sounds strange until you know why. China just handed Musk a reminder of the darkest stretch of his own career, back when three of his rockets came apart in a row and nearly took the company down with them.
Here's what he was looking at.

On August 10th, at two minutes past eight in the evening local time, a Long March 7A lifted off from Launch Complex 201 at the Wenchang Space Launch Site on Hainan Island. The ascent looked clean. The rocket pitched over to the southeast, tracking toward the inclination it needed for a geostationary transfer orbit. And for about a minute and a quarter, it did everything right. Then, around eighty-five seconds in, the sky over Hainan lit up. A fireball, a spreading cloud of smoke, glowing fragments falling away. Eighty-five seconds is about how long it takes you to fill a car with gas.
The rocket came down in the South China Sea. Nobody is recovering any of it. State radio published a short mission preview right around liftoff, and that report vanished faster than the debris itself. It's now a dead link.
