Rocket madness this morning

SpaceX is attempting to launch the Starship (largest rocket ever built) and have the booster return to the launch tower where it will be "caught" with giant Mechazilla arms.
The potential for explosive failure is high.

"When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car."

"I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it."


That was amazing! Thanks for posting

The main stream media doesn't seem to care about anything Elon is developing.

It's the opposite of a fact. Today's launch is the #1 story on Google News. Every mainstream media outlet is covering it.

Totally fact! ... Only it's not.

Did you even try searching for it before you decided that?

Speaking of Elon, I think this is just as important for people to know about. There were new articles published in politico and the LA Times yesterday with a headline that read:

"California Officials cite Elon Musk's politics in rejecting space launches"

Elon posted this in response to the article last night:

"Incredibly inappropriate. What I post on this platform (X) has nothing to do with a “coastal commission” in California!
Filing suit against them on Monday for violating the First Amendment."

This is who the left is. If they don't like your politics, they want to deny you your rights and crush you and your business. They are outright calling for censorship and limiting free speech. THEY ARE DANGEROUS

That again is a fact!

Didn’t Elon want to put up more of his internet satellites and the folks in charge did not want him to get the contract?

https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-house-panel-probes-fcc-decision-deny-starlink-nearly-900-million-2024-10-07/

If his name was Bezo it would have already happened. Folks don’t care about Americans they want the control and they get the feeling Elon has too much. Not rocket science.

I don't remember growing up as a kid in the 70s and 80s, our own nation hating itself. We had differences between right and left etc. but even the most liberal of our nation still love the nation and the US remaining the beacon of culture, technology and freedom.

Makes me feel pretty stupid and inadequate when I see technology like this. Kudos to Elon and his engineers. They are light years ahead of most countries in what they can do. I feel proud he is an American.

Just watched the whole thing. Burned my kids breakfast because I was so amazed. Proud to have an American lead the way. Just sitting here thinking science fiction is becoming science in front of our eyes. Forget the politics and give Elon NASA’s budget.
