Clickbaiters are worse than Putin. Disgusting creatures.

Saving you a click:

SpaceX believes that vibrations caused a failure of a fuel line in the aft section of the upper stage (i.e., Starship, not its Super Heavy booster), leading to a fuel leak.

Oh wow, absolutely embarrassing! Even a 5 year old would know to check for vibrations in the fuel lines 🤦
