Really, the most frustrating thing of that response wasn't the deflection, but his insistence of putting his finger on the scale by emphasizing union companies over and over again as its some kind of messianic quality in the economy. As a result, it just further reinforces that he's bought by them just as Trump was bought by the vodka drinking yahoos across the pond and becomes increasingly clear that the POTUS isn't interested in fairness but instead is interested in ensuring that companies that should fail succeed and companies that should in their place grow and succeed are denied the opportunity to take their chance.

Pattern dictates the next one will lose control/disintegrate when transitioning to the belly flop.
Then a breddy gud landing.
Then one burns up on reentry.
Then a good landing, then the Starship fails to make orbit.

[Anonymous No.14541015]

Yes, thats why the launch pads are so high up so that energy from the engine doesn't hit back. Remember the early Starship static fire test where the ground melted and concrete went up and damaged the engine? They fixed that issue even though Starship was superclose to the ground. Superheavy stack is much higher up the ground + the fix in place.

Again, the biggest threat is the transition period where SpaceX engine lights and the Superheavy is being mechanically released from the stand.

Does the height have to scale with the thrust/amount of engines in order to avoid similar problems? Hopefully the height they have now is enough.

Yes but the demonstration mission failed.
>The company was reporting success in on-orbit testing of water plasma propulsion and other key elements of its Vigoride in-space transportation vehicle. Contrary according to a SEC release, the mission had failed to achieve its primary mission objectives. Internal company documents defined success as 100 thruster firings, each lasting at least one minute, but the thruster failed to perform even one firing of that duration, and only three of 23 produced any plasma. Momentus lost contact with the satellite three months into a six-month mission.

That makes no sense, a new rover would likely study a entirely different location and the science teams have openly complained about NASA wanting to pull the plug early on failing rovers. Plenty of other organizations would love to have access to a Mars rover if it's still functional and they should be able to operate it at a cost incomparable to the cost of sending a new legacy rover.

Anyone else noticed that you can finally load old tweets from Musk easily even if they are a few days old. It used to take for ever for them to load and even nitter wouldn't even load them at all if they were more than a few days old

It was brought up yesterday by someone amd elon replied, probably fixed the "bug" due to the attention it got but it was pretty clearly a way to try to suppress elon

If New Glenn follows that flight profile, that rocket will explode on the launch deck of whatever ship its trying to land on. The last second hoverslam maneuver followed by the insanely wild swings is not gonna transfer over to such a huge ass booster. I bet that's why New Glenn is going nowhere. They built their entire landing experience on this ridiculous landing sequence and then realized its not going to work, so they're just dragging their feet hoping the Bezos bucks keep flowing.

Imagine where US Heavy lift would be at right now at this point in time if Falcon Heavy didn't exist and no launch vehicles were otherwise available

SpaceX literally saving both US human spaceflight and heavy lift

all these AI pictures are scary in a way, that the public is unknowingly, half the time, training the model via unsupervised reinforced learning of what is what.
