US authorities forced SpaceX to investigate the chances of the Starship rocket falling on sharks and whales – Musk
At a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, the billionaire said that first he had to check the safety of the sharks. When asked if the missile would hit them, he replied:
The ocean is big, you know, there are a lot of sharks, it's not impossible, but it's extremely unlikely.
After this, US authorities clarified what would happen to the whales, Musk added. The situation reminded him of a “comedy scene”:
Honestly, if we do come across a whale, the whale asked for it because the chances are very low. It's similar to Final Destination: Whale Edition.
