If someone hasn't made a Starship version of this it needs to be done

[Wendy Harper @WHarper10]

This was given to me on my first day at SpaceX almost 9 years ago.

@_Testflight_ The more time passes the more I think that
- carbon fiber is not a good material for iteratively developing rockets
- Rocket Lab is going to be in serious trouble as competitors like Stoke will be able to far more easily alter the size of their launch vehicles.

@chromatica99 @NASAAdmin @POTUS Unfortunately yeah I can imagine... a man can dream though

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@Jl13876781 @SpaceKoala I know that many Spaniards have done good things, like your examples. But I've read both in college courses and my own spare time the wickedness that the powers of Europe engaged in.

This is not an indictment of Spanish culture, simply that all humans are capable of evil.

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@ChalChalcxe @SpaceKoala Sadly yes
And unfortunately it's the way of just humanity. Grant power over others and people will immediately misuse it.

It's important however we recognize in history the many courageous people who've fought against evil and promoted the good in humanity.

“What’s this?”

“Your next-generation space telescope, sir”

“No, no no, it’s not 2027 yet”

“It’s launching this summer now. We even did it under budget”

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@SpaceKoala The United States of America is guilty of many, many evils, but any who will pretend the powers of Europe are innocent is a liar.

Every man and woman on this Earth is capable of profound good and profound evil, and we must not forget that.

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@SpaceKoala I remember reading about it in a college American history class. There is evil based on racism, on misunderstandings, on revenge -

Then just... the conquistadors killed for fun. They saw the native Caribs as not human, and made games of the most vile acts imaginable.

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@starship_41 I've already mentioned - I think this will come across as just really cringey. It'll make older spaceflight enthusiasts look childish.
Just stick it out the best you can, follow good accounts, and be an example of a non-investment speak normal person in the community.

@NoLifeJordan69 Someday we need to get this thing on the Moon
Humanity will not have conquered Luna until someone's torn up the regolith on a dirtbike

@mikonyaan @flydeltajets_ The annoyance to me is that cgi CAN look great, when you plan things out, treat vfx artists like human beings, and combine it with practical stuff.

But companies like Disney especially will reshoot tons of stuff and use cgi for basic crap like what could be a simple prop.

The Gradatim is getting Ferocitered

[Dave Limp @davill]

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

When you and your friends need to break a chunk off Antarctica and you want to feel less bad about it

[Emlyn @EmlynSpace]

the gc is loosing it

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@ApoStructura @BTRBT_ It's further worth noting they expanded our of Africa, across Eurasia, and evehtually to the Americas. They did not find all those resources that enabled more efficient, higher standards of living, until they filled the Earth.

I am certain then, that we do the same in space.

[Chandler G @Echo5550]

Your AI slop bores me…

Anyways, here is a non AI versions of this comparison for everyone to have

[JohnCn @JConcilus]

1/ Silver lining? The New Glenn exploded May 28 at LC-36 during a static fire: giant fireball, tower toppled, pad scorched. Bad, right?

Yes, but it gave SLD 45 the real-world data to likely shrink keep-out zones for every methalox-based rocket on the Eastern Range. 🧵👇

@Truthful_ast @_digital_donuts These criminal actions are in conflict with our beliefs, to uphold the law. I hope that justice will be served by this case going to court, and the local police will be held accountable.

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@Truthful_ast Truthful, I'm disappointed. I know criticisms many have about our faith, but I encourage you to see us as more than just the words of our detractors.
I'm a Latter-day Saint. I love space, and want to do good in this world.
I like your YouTube and hope you'll consider what I say.

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura @grok To determine if someone is in full fellowship in the church, they simply declare to their bishop if they have paid a full tithe. There is not a check of the financial records or anything.

It is a matter between them and God.

[RustRanger @Rust_ranger57]

@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura @grok When we invite people to join our church, we make it extremely clear that tithing is a commandment God asks of church members.
Still I reiterate that it is not forced in the sense that some would claim. We do not pass a collection plate. Tithing is done confidentially. Further -
