The Scott Manley video is great.

He slows it down and you get to see the exact moment Bezos practically nuked a launchpad, with nothing more to say but "anomaly".

Yes, he can easily financially absorb it. But the damage he caused hopefully has repercussions on billionaire space exploration being regulated like any other public space agency.

Sadly though, it'll also effect NASA's time line.

Nah, RUDs happen, and everyone knows it. It even happens to NASA—in fact, if I recall correctly, the only major spaceflight operator it hasn't happened to is ULA. SpaceX even publicly released a video supercut of all their explosions on some anniversary or another. The risk of this is built in to the entire industry; this won't change anything, and probably shouldn't.

Billionaire vanity spaceflight shouldn't be a thing, but this isn't what should change that.

I don't see how you can watch the same Scott Manly video and have that takeaway. Rockets blow up on pads. It's not Bezos's evil doing. It's not going to change anything about the industry. He's not in trouble.

Musk did far worse to "protected" wetlands in Texas and what happened?

Is this what playing Kerbal Space Program is like?
