Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus.
If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely.
@TylerMahanCoe This morning a buddy and I were talking about how good both he and the Dixie Chicks were, he had a ton of great songs, been listening all day
@elonmusk Before the grinder, you hit the wrench with a sledge hammer, extra points if you cut the wrench in half and use the box end as a makeshift hammer wrench
@TylerMahanCoe That's a good album, even better if you want to fall asleep... I once slept 8 hours straight on a flight from tel Aviv to Philadelphia with Strangers Almanac on loop the whole time. Works better than Benadryl.
@elonmusk The team(s) tweaking the control loops and valves deserve a medal! There is almost no overshoot in the system response, which blows my mind. It's one thing to land a rocket like a pogo stick, it's another to make it look like it's easy, I'll be amazed every time I see it!
@TylerMahanCoe I was going to reply with an argument against this, then I imagined LeDoux sighing "Standing Outside the Fire" and Brooks singing "Bang a Drum", yep I even see Brooks singing "Bareback Jack" now. I still don't like Garth...
@TylerMahanCoe I'm glad you decided to give George the needed time. Jones isn't in my top 10 favorite musicians, but he is in my top 5 favorite celebrities. He was the right man for the place and time and it took a team to wrangle him into commercial form, could you imagine him with a day job?
