Can't believe no one has a thread going on the Starship launch. They just caught the booster in the chopsticks! Awesome!
Starship is in orbit and will be doing a soft landing in the Indian Ocean in about 15 minutes.
Maybe THIS will shut off the spew of garbage from Drudgereport concerning Tesla, SpaceX, Musk, etc. for a few days. I curse Matt Drudge daily every time I look at that site, which I have reason to believe is owned by MSN.
Drudge sold his website to China for $100,000,000 about seven years ago.
He has NOTHING to do with it.
That was amazing. Today is my birthday (71), and that was the best birthday present ever.
Elon Musk is a steely eyed missile man!
Elon and his team did this. Not a bloated, out-of-control, lying, and intrusive government.
It is something we can be proud of in a screwed-up world.
Enjoy!
Holy chit! Fantastic!

To think that we could see people on Mars in our lifetime is mind-boggling.
I hope you have a wonderful day!
That’s was insane!! I can easily say that was the most amazing thing I’ve watched in my life. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Well, 9/11 was equally unbelievable to witness, for horrible reasons. Today was positive amazing.
“Maybe THIS will shut off the spew of garbage from Drudgereport concerning Tesla, SpaceX, Musk, etc. “
Are you kidding?? They’ll hate him even more. The last thing they want is for him have any kind of success.
The left hates Musk even more than Trump!
And why are you still going to Sludge? It’s become an anti conservative screed. Are you a masochist?
That was so cool. I can’t see that enough times.
Success!
Cool to see it underwater
Starship Splashdown confirmed

Can someone please reach out to Elon and ask to have my twitter account reinstated?
I received a permanent ban for reporting death threats against DJT. I was initially suspended and after being reinstated, I followed Dan Bongino and then was immediately permanently banned.
I am in a ‘read only’ mode but am limited to freaking TEN POSTS per day.
I regularly see people who wished death and violence on Republicans are still happily posting away.

*******
You must like cursing as all you have to do is not click
on the site. Lots of news outlets other than Drudge.
And all NASA had to do was update the apollo drawings and build it, and they could not even do that right....
When you look at how far technology has developed in the past 100 years, I can’t even imagine what the next 100 years will bring.
Watched all of the Mercury flights. I was a huge space fan as a kid.
The Apollo program was limited. NASA wants a station on the moon, which would require a higher hauling capacity than the Apollo ships.
Also, the engines used on the Apollo were hand built, almost individually bespoke. There are no instructions for their assembly; men developed particular skills and expertise for their assembly, and those men are gone. NASA dropped the ball by not continuing the production of the engines so that future generations of machinists and assembly specialists could continue to be trained. Once NASA ran out of prebuilt engines, they had to start from scratch, or continue to buy engines from Russia.
On the positive side, there are several companies redeveloping the technology. Elon Musk is not only developing rocket engines, he has built a factory to mass produce them.
My brother woke me up early before school to watch Friendship 7 launch.
👍🙂
