For someone who despises Musk, you sure love space launches.

Lol habebe has a point.

Murder geeks out about rocket launches at least as much as I do, which is impressive.

Big rockets are cool.

But I'm not nearly as enthusiastic as before, because as if I didn't have enough reason to hate Elon already ... SpaceX is now launching Starships south of Cuba which means I'm almost certainly not seeing shit.

This just points out the absurdity of the proposed Mars missions that would require dozens of Starship launches without any delays ... for a single crewed mission.

Well presumably when they stop blowing up all the time a ship going out of view behind a cloud layer will be ok.
