@DrPhiltill You can see a change in the behaviour of the hotspot as the plate moved over. More effusive to earlier on to more explosive as it likely encountered thicker crustal material
@DrPhiltill There is also the nature of the eruptions at each hotspot. Hawaii is entirely basaltic, Yellowstone’s basalt chamber melts crustal material, resulting in caldera forming rhyolitic eruptions, erasing most visible volcanic structures. Calderas are visible, just not from the ground.
It’s bad when an incident like this happens, it’s worse when unmitigated disinformation is spread. Sure, questions raised about the nature of the explosion, but 20 miles, people getting knocked down. That invites lawsuits, regulations that would prohibit flight from the cape.
No, you are still lying. This is unnecessary histrionic nonsense. Video evidence of people significantly closer are not “knocked off their feet”
What you are suggesting is an explosion on the order of megatons.
Demonstrably false.
The most confusing thing about @C_S_Skeptic is his absolute criticism of musk, whilst gobbling the balls of Bezos who is no better. In fact in terms of historical abuse of workers Bezos is the worst.
Why the free pass for a man who made his workers piss in bottles or lose their jobs CSS?
That didn’t happen at SpaceX, or Tesla.
Amazon is what made Jeff, and the human rights abuses of are manifest.
But you, and the likes of @kmh unhealthily obsess over the safety culture of an industrial site.
I’d argue you have no experience on an industrial site.
Safety is absolute. What you don’t understand is the technology been developed.
SpaceX is well ahead of safety, a leader in this respect. You advocate for mining, my industry, one of the most dangerous on earth. Don’t dare lecture me on safety old man
So pull your retired arse in and look after your flowers, and garden. You have never been underground.
I was also a sailor, I saw the ocean trying to kill me.
You are a couch cruiser. An accountant who picked a nice trip.
Nothing more
Sit down boy.
You don’t know what the world is like. You are a tourist
Or are you a stupid ignorant fanboy who chose a flag and decided “Musk Bad”
“Jeff Good”
Don’t answer, I know. You are “Jeff Good”
Weasel little rat.
“Common Sense” you claim without evidence.
A good belaying pin would settle your hash, CSS
Genuine question @C_S_Skeptic. You confidently, passionately said Blue Origin would launch a mars mission in August of this year. That time has passed and there is no launch!!
Will you hold Blue Origin to the same standards as SpaceX?
That said I respect Felix for his passion. He relocated to the US to get closer to the program.
He moved his family to follow this program. That’s real passion, dedication to following this starship thing.
Don’t hate on him, he loves this thing and he does what he has to do per the YT algorithm.
Go after CSS or TF
This is a significantly more complicated problem than anyone who has not seen or experienced this first hand.
I have. Worse I interacted with the crew of people smugglers. Those crew do not know what they are doing. Often their families are held hostage and the trip is one way, guaranteed arrest wherever they land.
Jared is a businessman, an aviator and an astronaut. But he is not a sailor. He has zero knowledge of naval matters, intelligence or basic practice.
I have done more boardings of illegal fishing boats, suspected illegal entry vessels, and everything else than I care to remember.
In the RAN we interview, investigate and pass on that information to the AFP and ASIO. They then pass that information to local authorities who make arrests.
It’s not perfect, but it is legal and humane.
Blowing up the crew of those boats achieves absolutely nothing. There are a thousand more boats and a thousand more victims to crew them.
I’m getting bored of explaining this to people who don’t know how complex drug and human trafficking works
Oh @thunderf00t the mighty comparing his extraordinary achievements against those of SpaceX.
Publicly he is known for rinsing everything he could from gamergate. When that cash cow dried up he switched over to SpaceX and Tesla (well actually Elon Musk)
So he applied the same strategy; lies, grandiose statements of scams without proof.
He even had the disgraced @C_S_Skeptic on stream, who was so geographically stunted, so completely unaware of basic physics thought starship “was going to hit Australia” on flight 10.
Those streams are good example of how fundamentally illiterate Phill is regarding starship, or even basic spaceflight. Simple things that even a high school student should be able understand he missed or was unable to explain.
The entertainment is step by step SpaceX continues to improve.
At each step Phill is proven wrong.
So Phill, when you wave around your credentials, remember that SpaceX is made up of many scientists and engineers who are significantly more knowledgeable than you, who are far more capable than you.
Who would never invite the verified moron CSS on to a stream for advice. Guy doesn’t know up and down in space.
The funniest thing. One of my high school English studies was GATTACA. I kind of got it when I was 17.
I rewatched it when I was 20 because I remembered Michael Nyman’s music.
Then I really got it.
I’ve watched that film more times than I can remember.
Only one other sci fi space related film comes close. Arrival.
I think back to 17 yo me. Could not put together 500 words on the film.
Today I could write 100000 words.
GATTACA is the perfect space movie.
Respectfully, you have never intercepted a boat at sea. You don’t know the circumstances that put that crew on that boat.
I do.
I have the tragic experience of intercepting boats at sea. For example, a 14 year old who was instructed to keep steering south until they hit Australia. He had no idea what he was doing, no idea he was smuggling people. Only that he was told “go south”
So this cavalier ‘blow em up’ approach, remember most are just completely ignorant, possibly innocent. The problem is those who SENT them, something that could be found out by following laws set out by your government. Arrest and interrogate.
Blowing them up is a demonstration of weakness
Yeah it certainly was, but it was a very small. 31m
Pioneering the technology. Lusitania and Mauritania were the first applications of how powerful turbine steam engines could be.
Mauritania held the speed record for 20 years.
It’s not who developed the technology, it’s who utilised and perfected it
Get this in to your thick cope filled skull @C_S_Skeptic. Nobody cares who invented the technology.
Ever heard of Turbinia? The first turbine powered vessel. Absolutely useless for carrying passengers across the North Atlantic. Nobody cares about that ship.
They care the ship that practically utilised that technology.
You obsess over “um actually it was invented by-“ shut up
Shut your ignorant mouth little man.
Practical application is more breakthrough.
SpaceX pioneered the technology and you can eat shit. You can eat shit because everything you have said about SpaceX and starship has been manifestly wrong.
I thought you did a whole a war to prevent this. And you decided that the president was only ever going to be called “Mr or Ms” because you entirely rejected monarchy.
Your not terrifying “liberals” you’re demonstrably advocating your capitulation to the very thing you’re so called nation was built upon.
Also you’re a b list actor whose highlight was the virgin suicides, where you played a failed a useless father.
And you have allegations of assault against you.
Your profession is to pretend
Give me one reason to take you seriously
Or enjoy your riches and shut up, fuck off and and stay out politics
Right, coming from the guy who genuinely think Starlink satellites are tangentially ejected into space or directly at earth (rods from god) would impact earth!
Background @C_S_Skeptic has so no understanding of physics whatsoever, not even a crude understanding that might be gained from KSP (he has an MBI of 567 so he doesn’t need to play silly games)
Consequently he considers himself the master of physics (he does sudoko) and is therefore untouchable. His brilliance in this field is so great that like Neal Lachman, he is shunned by conventional physicists.
If only those who consider Nobel prizes watched his YT videos!!!!
They would know his sofistikasided finking!!!
