rank | Wed Jul 15 22:54:45 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. - |

rank | Thu Jul 23 23:38:49 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. - |

rank | Fri Jul 24 08:01:10 Well presumably when they stop blowing up all the time a ship going out of view behind a cloud layer will be ok. |

rank | Sat Jul 25 01:04:09 Pretty clean! Booster was about 50 m/s too fast on that simulated landing. Looks like they missed a reignition or 2. Orbiter in orbit(almost) that's the important part. Wave as it goes past murder I think I can see you lol. Godamn SpaceX has elite live videos. This is some of the more impressive shit humanity has ever done. Just think... The largest rocket ever made and we are all watching hd live feeds of it from a dozen different angles while sitting on our couches all over the planet. |
