@SecMullinDHS@jamestalarico Wow it looks like Hillary, who does not allow comments of course, was lying about this too. She couldn't possibly be this uninformed.
Why does she continue to lie?
@RichardGrenell Don't call them what my family is!
My family is an immigrant family.
Theirs are illegal aliens.
If I rob a bank would they call me a customer who made a withdrawal?
No
@DebHaalandNM Okay how about while illegal aliens continue to break laws and continue to alter the culture of the United States nobody's altering the culture of the country they came from are they??
@markvalorian@abc7newsbayarea A good way to make a viral video and get your 5 minutes of fame! The problem is very few people will be skeptical and now all I'm gonna hear at work is "See that's why AI can never work."
Thatβs kind of beside the point. The Starship sitting in the ocean is the Flight 13 vehicle, and it was never intended to be the ship that flies Flight 14.
Yes, prolonged saltwater exposure could complicate recovery, inspection, electronics, valves, connectors, and other componentsβeven though the main structure is stainless steel and is highly corrosion-resistant. But nobody was counting on pulling Flight 13 out of the ocean, cleaning it up, and using it for Flight 14.
Flight 14 will use a completely different Starship.
So pointing out that the Flight 13 vehicle may not be suitable for reflight after sitting in seawater doesnβt really establish anything important about the program. The valuable part of Flight 13 was proving the vehicle could survive reentry and splashdown and collecting the telemetry and engineering data from that flight. Recovering the ship intact would be a nice bonus for inspection, but its ability to fly again was never the requirement.
Soβ¦ what exactly is the point of saying βthe saltwater ruined it and it canβt reflyβ? It wasnβt supposed to be the Flight 14 ship in the first place.
