Launch scrubbed: Next attempt scheduled for Monday.
When he puts a man on the moon I will be impressed—until then he is just a blowhard.
Thanks for the update. I believe the weather deteriorated below minimums. I checked and only about half the starship was visible through the fog at the time.
Or the frankenfurter.
Let’s do the Time Warp again.😁
Let’s see... Rando-blow hard on an internet forum, or a blowhard with a long track record of doing exactly what his critics said he couldn’t do...
My money is on Elon.
It is has been fifty years since the manned Moon program.
Fifty years of excuses—”the dog ate my homework”.
Time for somebody, somewhere to _show_ me.
Time to stop the talking and start the _doing_.
Not talk, not baby steps, not grand plans, time to _do_ _it_.
Sure. Going to the moon is easy. I plan on going this weekend. Ought to be fun. I figure all I need is a 2L bottle of soda and some Mentos.
No need to do all that engineering from scratch stuff.
What’s Elon done so far that others said couldn’t be done?
1. Built his own space agency, from scratch.
2. Built his own rockets, that actually work.
3. Made them better by making them recoverable.
4. Improved on that by making them land instead of crashing back to earth.
5. Improved on that by landing them on a FLOATING platform.
6. Improved on that by sending supplies to the ISS.
7. Improved on THAT by sending PEOPLE to the ISS.
8. Now he’s working on this ship... Which does things NO OTHER similar vessel has ever done before and puts it in a unique performance envelope that is already revolutionizing how the WORLD sees the possibility of space travel.
If that isn’t good enough for you, the problem isn’t Elon.
It done blow’d up....or was blow’d up due to malfunction. Why launch in the fog?
Dang!
