gotta wonder if a harris administration would just TAKE spacex from Elon musk and claim it all as “government property”. she’s made it clear with other industries that she doesn’t have a problem with that.

From an engineer viewpoint, I wasn’t sure he would ever get this to work.
Now I believe NASA is 40 years behind SpaceX and they might as well give their operations to SpaceX

Has anybody addressed and/or resolved the observed booster fire observed just seconds before the grab? Held my breath on that one, considering previous Starship landing incidents of postlanding “rapid mechanical disassemblies”.

I must admit, that was a pretty amazing feat. Good job Elon & Space X rocket scientists. You have just surpassed NASA, because they have become woke & infested with DEI hires. 🙂👍

Harris is in charge of NASA and she gets us Starliner.

Trump has Musk who gets us Starship.

Any questions ?

Rocket science with the crowd reaction of a sporting event. Who would ever have called that one?

“It brings SpaceX’s ambition of developing a fully reusable and rapidly deployable rocket a big step closer.”

Falcon 9 anyone?

I watched the video and am amazed at what Space X has done in such a short time span. First rate results when unhampered by graft and corruption which permeate anything our governmental agencies control.

That was a slam dunk, an end zone spike, and a grand slam home run all packed into one. The boy’s got style.

Elon and Space X sent a skyscraper into space, brought it back, and parallel parked it.

Plus Starship 5 launch has been ready to go for months and the FAA would not give them a license to land it off the Texas coast. Congress and NASA stepped in and told the FAA to shove it and let Space X launch.

It seems "Woke and DEI" cannot compete with "Dark MAGA".

Privatize the rocket programs. Shut down NASA and save US taxpayers billions.

Space news.

October 13, 2024:

On the Navy's 249th birthday, trapped/wedged between the real Columbus Day/Yom Kippur and the observed Columbus Day today, two sticks caught a falling rocket.

(re'em) ראם

And Moses took the bones of Joseph (Exod. 13:19). How did Moses know where Joseph's grave was to be found? They say that only Serah the daughter of Asher had survived from that generation, and that she revealed to Moses where Joseph's grave was located. The Egyptians had made a metal coffin for him and then sunk it into the Nile.

Moses went to the bank of the Nile with a pebble upon which were engraved the words "Ox, arise," and called out: "Joseph, Joseph, the time [hour, sha'a] has come for the Holy One, blessed be He, to redeem his children. The Shekhinah and Israel and the clouds of glory await you. If you will reveal yourself, good, but if not, we shall be free of your vow." Whereupon Joseph's coffin floated to the surface.

https://www.sefaria.org/Midrash_Tanchuma%2C_Beshalach.2.1?lang=bi

"Ox, arise,"

עלה שור

In IDF-speak, the equivalent D-Day and H-Hour terminology is the letter ayin for the day (for the word et, time) and shin for the hour (sha'a), the ayin day and the shin hour:

(yom ha-ayin, she'at ha-shin)

יום ה-ע שעת ה-ש

עֲלֵה שׁוֹר

"All Ashore!"

Lost in translation, sunk in de nile:

A female reporter and two locals in a boat are landing on a shore, one says:
-- All right, Miss. All ashore.
Crocodile Dundee, film

What does the blded part mean, is it a kind of command in imperative, or just stating a fact? What would the whole sentence look like?
Thank you.

>>>

Hmmm. "All ashore!" and "All ashore, that's going ashore!" are standard commands in larger boats, where there are a crowd of tourists. Those are very old commands (decades? centuries?).

It sounds silly when there is just one passenger.

Nice under-three-minutes edit, with a cool soundtrack.

One video reminded that this is a 23 story building it is catching

TBH I was worried about this.

When it was built, gravity is weighing everything down. With this it is hanging, and everything is being pulled apart.
