Headline is misleading. The launch is happening tomorrow weather permitting, and the delays that already happened are most likely unrelated to the accident that killed the worker. There's also no evidence that accident rates at Starbase are higher than at any other US construction site.

I was actually just about to comment that it's surprising how few accidents we've heard about from a facility like that.

Either they're doing an amazing job, or they have a great lid on it despite all that want to see them fail.

Are you accusing the media of misleading news about SpaceX, amazing bait for HN????

Yes, they are.

You're joking, right?

Starbase is notorious for high accident rates.
