It's great to see a group of people this unified to reach a common goal, maybe they could try forming a union next?

That would be hilarious
Moments before elon pressed the launch button
"Let's cut some expenses" 👇💥 💥 🔥🔥🔥
and takes full credit for the entire thing. Even though he’s currently solely working on running twitter into the ground
Plagiarism in a different form.
So cool. I wonder what russia will use it for in the future.
The DoD isn’t that daft, and given russias brain drain even if he defected he wouldn’t be able to find anyone to actually do the engineering.
Oh boy here we go. Is the latest insanity that he’s going to defect to Russia now? Anybody want to place a wager?
If everyone pooped at once, it would make the ground look like it has freckles
Fuck Elron, but I hope this next one goes better. Such a waste if not.
My understanding is, with their iterative approach, the fact that the last one spiralled uncontrollably doesn't mean it was a total waste. They got a lot of good data from that and it will apply to future designs.
Starship is so fuckig sick, i really hope we Nationalize SpaceX if Elon keeps going off the rails.
Its been largely government funded as well, im not sure why the government doesn't get stock for funding private companies.
Elrond has changed much since peace was restored to Middle Earth
ha ha! I think I'll go with that from now on, that's even better!
Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering kaboom!
The Illidium pew-36 explosive space modulator is missing!
Is this the new launch or the last one?
If its the latest one then it looks like they still havent put in a flame deflection system on the launch pad...
There is a new flame deflection system that sprays water from a water cooled metal plate under the pad. There wasn't any damage from a recent static fire test, but that was only half power compared to liftoff thrust. We'll see how it fares against a real launch soon.
https://www.youtube.com/live/ENxZS6PUDuI Skip to 7:50 for the static fire.
Thanks a bunch!
~~They’ve already installed the flame bidet so this must be the first one.~~
The bidet is flat, so you can't see it from this angle. This is the current rocket stack. You can see the new hot staging ring at the top of the booster.
Oh you’re totally right I missed that. I thought the deluge system stuck up higher out of the ground but I guess that was before they finished the surrounding concrete.
I see a bunch of people that work for Elon Musk
Excellent! Next what do you see in this picture:

Amazing what Elon Musk single-handedly was able to accomplish.
Who is claiming this?
Think they are being sarcastic. If not, just a dumb comment.
The question only makes sense in the context of that comment being sarcastic
