@TheApexDaily @MANYH0RSES no Miranda is for arrest and they must read that to him at arrest to continue questioning. any questions after arrest is considered custodial questions because he is now in their custody

@RealCandaceO Why am I not surprised that you relate to the spoiled white girl?

@KatieZacharia @POTUS Congrats

HE DID NOT SAY BOMB LOS ANGELES.

Gavin cut the clip in half and told 10 million people the President just offered their city to Iran.

Play it.

He said the price is small next to a nuclear Iran actually taking out LA and San Diego.

They deleted the first half so they could call him deranged before breakfast.

I’m in San Jose. Gas is $6.39. Five cents from the record.

His relief was a press release.

The lie was the thumbnail.

Turn the sound on.

@SpeakerPelosi Did you say the same thing when Biden threatened to Nuke Americans?

@_Eleanor_0 pretti good chance they won't since I won't be trying to run over them or interfere with the.

@KiwiThinker And if the space shuttle didn't get its descent correctly aligned, the space shuttle could have wiped out a neighborhood as it didn't have a go around option.

if all the paratutes failed on any number of the capsules they would splat.

so what?

I find it funny that some people got hung up on Starship not having gone orbital before Flight 14 when in the grand scheme of things it was completely arbitrary in terms of performance. The 19ish second burn only added about 91 m/s of velocity (a 1.2% increase in velocity)

This capability has been physically capable since Flight 6 which demonstrated a single Raptor relight in space. Heck, Flight 13’s burn was about 14 seconds, but intentionally oriented to primarily do a plane change instead of a prograde insertion burn for continued safety.

Any of the relights COULD have done the orbital insertion burn, the duration was not of any special technical capability. The reason Starship didn’t go orbital until Flight 14 is probably what we should applaud them for the most… SAFETY.

Their methodical approach to getting good data and going one step at a time while hucking the single most massive object ever put into space proves they weren’t just doing things haphazardly, despite the occasional narrative from the outside.

While it’s easy to compare Starship to vehicles like SLS or Vulcan or New Glenn, the reality is the focus hasn’t been on orbit, it’s been all on the “downhill” side of that. Safe and targeted de-orbit, clean reentry, targeted and soft splashdown. That’s the part that has (almost) never been done before.

And here I do have to add a little Space Shuttle admiration for figuring out a lot of these things on its first flight in 1981 (although it came a bit close to not being successful). Pretty amazing there was a vehicle of similar scale capable of such precise deorbit and reentry that it landed on a runway with no go-around capabilities. Crazy.

But Starship is well on a path to absolutely leap-frog the Space Shuttle in terms of performance (already over double and someday 6 fold) and hopefully in terms of full and rapid reuse. I hope we see the latter part speed up even more now that orbit has been demonstrated.

Exciting times ahead!!! Keep going @spacex @elonmusk

@AdamDaviesPod @elonmusk @wholemars have you ever heard of iterative development? He's taken agile methodology to hardware
