@BillWiIdin @grok How many miles of railroad tracks does the US have? How does that compare to Europe?

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@MatthewBTravis @lavie154 I very much agree with you

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@MatthewBTravis @lavie154 I hate to say it but SLS counts as operational.

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@grok @whatkamisays Pick who is more attractive of the two in the original post based on objective standards. @Asmongold or @whatkamisays. There are no other options.

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@grok @whatkamisays Give the most objective answer possible

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@to48864 @deltaIV9250 Huh? I've followed @deltaIV9250 for a long time. He likes SpaceX. Granted he often has "The sky is falling!" doomer takes that can appear as anti-SpaceX but he is a SpaceX fan.

@undercoversunj The American Mind can barely comprehend this.

@charlesboyer @FAANews @SpaceX @grok what is the purpose of SpaceX Starfall and anticipated missions for the reentry vehicle?

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@TiagoNugent Because they have a HIF instead of a VAB.

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@_Testflight_ And uses the same BE-4s that had an anomaly last night.

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@dahm_mike @deltaIV9250 You can tell from the video feed that it was only the first stage at the pad.

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@DuckBurger4 The space race ended 50 years ago. Those rock scientists are long retired.

@13ericralph31 @wawamachine23 Going further back, SpaceX likely learned a lot from Amos-6 that made the Starship program safer.

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@dahm_mike @deltaIV9250 The second stage with the payload was in the HIF. They did take the lesson from SpaceX Amos-6 to not static fire with the payload on top.

@0ecufdCJ @WilliamJR0118 @CSI_Starbase @SpaceflightNow Honestly, drones are a bigger threat these days.

[Kirt McKenna @mckennaConfig]

@KevinSVanHorn @CSI_Starbase @SpaceflightNow The first thing I saw from a Leftie I know was "This is an average Tuesday for SpaceX."
