@hopefornextlife @The_Corvus_VT @darlysuck Wow, okay, someone got a little pressed over pushback. My point still stands, even if you don't agree. Every trans person is valid, no matter what they've undergone. Like I've said, the T slur shouldn't be said, at all, but NB people are still trans.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@hopefornextlife @The_Corvus_VT @darlysuck The T slur, by definition, applies to anyone who identifies as transgender. I personally know a person who is trans, and regardless of them not transitioning via surgery due to family not being supportive, they're still just as valid as you are.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@hopefornextlife @The_Corvus_VT @darlysuck Transsexual is an old term. If you choose to use it, then that's a you thing. The T slur still applies to all trans people, no matter what surgery they've undergone or not. I agree that it shouldn't be uttered, but NB peeps are trans by definition.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@hopefornextlife @The_Corvus_VT @darlysuck Transgender/Transsexual people identify as a different gender from their birth sex. Non-binary people are trans, since they identify as a different gender from their birth sex.

@GloberZune Quite readable to me. The person you're arguing with likely doesn't know about tapping on a picture then zooming on it, which if that's genuinely the case, wouldn't be surprising whatsoever considering what they're yapping about.

@Ruby_Claw @Saphira123456 @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 I'm fully aware that no one wins and that this is meaningless. I'm following Kerry's playbook, essentially.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 "And to be honest, you guys will believe anything SpaceX tells you"

You're calling us gullible.

I win.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 You called an entire community gullible, that's ad hominem. You attacked me instead of my argument.

The second you use ad hominem, I automatically win.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 This comment from you says otherwise... By your rules, I won earlier.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 And since you're talking about tone, this comment means I automatically win.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 Oh hey, Conspiracy man runs away! I'm calling you what you are and I gave you everything you need to know, and you crap all over the board and declare a false victory.

Tells me everything I need to know about you: You yourself are nothing.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 270km to 0km is much more different than 275km to 263km... Orbit's will never be perfect, they'll always have some eccentricity to them.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 Oh wow, look! Conspiracy man telling us that he's better! The onboards and telemetry during Starship flight 14, again, is obvious proof that Starship made orbit.

You never said how it could be a lie. Go on, go full conspiracy mode. Embarrass yourself.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 I've looked at the stream, and the lowest Starship went while in orbit was 263km... the highest was around 276km. After the deorbit burn, the altitude began dropping rapidly. Pretty consistent to me.

With everything said to you today, I don't think the steam was lying...

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 If that's the case, then why did we get consistent 270-ish km altitude read outs during the 3 hour flight up until the deorbit burn?

I've seen you say that the stream is a lie... Why is that?

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 Orbital speed in your scenario isn't affected, meaning no reboosting is needed due to the speed being constant.

In real life, satellites only need to reboost once every 3-6 months in LEO. Starship was in orbit for three hours.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 Theoretical orbital scenarios still need speed. In your scenario, you need around 28,500km/h max to maintain orbit.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Ruby_Claw @Saphira123456 @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 Exactly! Realistically, the scenario means zilch.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @Ruby_Claw @CobshipStarSon @jfbg_200 @Echo5550 Speed keeps you from hitting the ground. In your question, you need to be really quick... and that right there is not even factoring in air resistance, which makes your experiment void.

[the guy in your basement @basmntguy]

@Saphira123456 @SlipstreamAvia @Echo5550 Speed and altitude do matter, it's what determines the orbit.

Orbit is just a ballistic arc that misses the Earth, by definition.
