You clearly know very little about the history of SpaceX, they run a hardware rich development program and this kind of failure is normal for the first few flights. It’s simply a matter of iterating until it works consistently.
Seriously, look up their process - Falcon 1 failed 3/5 times, and Falcon 9 recovery attempts didn’t succeed until the 8th test. Starship’s suborbital landing tests failed 4 times before they succeeded.
Having a couple launch failures is normal at this phase of development, for SpaceX anyway.
Funny how you claim I know little, when you just claimed Starship is basically ready, when all it can do is a few minutes before it blows up, it can’t even leave the atmosphere yet.
One stupid comment more and I block you.
I mean, let’s crunch the numbers: the final velocity was 24,124 km/hr and LEO orbital speed is about 28,000 km/hr. Contrary to what you claim, it did in fact leave the atmosphere at an altitude of ~148km. That means that this iteration of Starship was 86% of the way to its destination. It made it through max q and stage separation, which are generally considered the most dangerous parts of flight.

Yeah, they were damn close.
