Elon is a damn genius.

Maybe Elon should go into making fireworks full-time.

There are risks involved. You only have to think of Apollo 1, Apollo 13, Challenger, the space shuttle Columbia to know that there are tragedies along with successes.

This thread is a let down I thought we were gonna talk about. “Nothings gonna stop us now”

Imagine what Elmo could accomplish if he didn't dabble in fascism and waste his time destroying Twitter.

Old enough where I’ve learned it’s ok to laugh at myself.

It's a lot cheaper to test on Kerbal Space Program, especially if you're going to try designs the Russians, Chinese, and NASA already tried and discarded.

Tens of tiny rocket engines versus fewer and larger? The Soviets proved this was a problem, and scrapped it in favor of the tried and true bigger but fewer engines.

Flame diverter / water sound suppression? NASA, the Soviets, hell China figured that out long ago.

Launch pad design that doesn't resemble a roasted chicken stand? Again, Every space agency figured that sh*t out.

Rocket stage separation? SpaceX went pneumatic, instead of explosive bolts like every other rocket company.

Elon just *has* to do everything his way.

I'm not saying it's not OK to laugh at yourself. Just found it odd someone here was yearning for some Starship.

Do you go to comedy shows and raise your hand after the punch line?

Had that song stuck in my head for a while after this comment.

Maybe you would be surprised to learn that not everyone here is Gen Z?

Before my time, but I'd rather have 'Airplane'.
