@TPP_Taiwan Does this mean that you are going to switch your vote on the President's defense spending programs?

(3/3) Hong Kong has used bamboo scaffolding for decades because it’s lightweight, highly flexible in strong winds, easy to assemble on irregular building façades, and extremely cost-effective.
The scaffold itself wasn’t the issue here. The netting material was.
(2/3) Bamboo is flammable, but not in a way that makes it spontaneously “burst into flames”. It ignites around ~300°C, and treated construction bamboo is designed to slow ignition and flame spread. Under proper standards, it shouldn’t cause the rapid spread seen in this incident.
(1/3) Regarding the Hong Kong fire: CNN quoted PolyU’s Prof. Huang saying bamboo is flammable, implying the bamboo scaffold was the main driver.
But multiple clips show the netting and wrap igniting, not the scaffold; most bamboo poles remained intact.

@thesheetztweetz @QuiltyAnalytics First Starship orbital flight will be with Raptor 2 engines, as they are much more capable & reliable. 230 ton or ~500k lb thrust at sea level.
We’ll have 39 flightworthy engines built by next month, then another month to integrate, so hopefully May for orbital flight test.
We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a launch agreement with @SpaceX that will enable OneWeb to resume satellite launches.
The first launch with SpaceX is anticipated later this year.
