"African American" took off in a big way in the Mid-1980s, but the phrase does go back a little further than that.

SpaceX’s Super Heavy rocket, the most powerful rocket ever built, recently completed a successful ground test of its engines. And now, Elon Musk’s mega rocket is almost ready to take off for its first orbital test flight.

These videos are of Starship. Is this what we’re talking about?
It will be incredible to see the Super Heavy Booster and the Starship land like this. I am amazed every time Falcon 9 does that...

Go to YouTube and find NASA Spaceflight (not Associated with NASA) They have a 24/7 webcams of SpaceX rocket development at Boca Chica. Ive been watching for almost Two years. Watched the 33 engine Static Fire the other day, it was Awesome.
Well crap, did not mean to double post an article
Super Heavy and Starship will eventually land at the launch tower and be snatched out of the air by what Elon calls the Chop Sticks. It will be an amazing feat.
Thanks! Will do!
I had one of those DNA tests done some years back, as I’m adopted.
I had a surprise: I found out I am about 20% Sephardic Jew (and 5% Ashkenazi)
/North African. So I guess I’m at least 20% “African American…
Always thought I was Italian. I’m about 5% actual Italian.
Not sure how Mom and Dad would take that if they were still around…
I don’t have any problems with it; I think it’s fascinating.
North African can be Phoenician/Punic/Egyptian Greek
Yes, but that’s what it is-Sephardic Jew/North African.
They were originally from Spain, but they got kicked out by the Muslims, and the Christians didn’t want them at first, so some ended up in Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya. ALSO, some did eventually settle in Sicily and other parts of the Mediterranean. I’m Also Sardinian and Greek.
“The Starship launch vehicle is made up of the Super Heavy first-stage booster and the Starship second stage. The second stage functions as a self-contained spacecraft for carrying crew or cargo once in orbit.”
“Super Heavy is a first stage or booster stage, and forms the lower part of the rocket.”
“Starship is a second stage or long-duration spacecraft, and forms the upper part of the rocket.”
“Both stages are powered by Raptor engines that burn liquid oxygen and liquid methane propellants in a highly efficient, full-flow staged combustion power cycle. Both rocket stages are designed to be reused by landing vertically at the launch pad or at a separate platform.”
GIF is the second stage but the two stages combined make up the SpaceX Starship.

Elon Musk and his incredible accomplishments. Has anyone figured out what his particular X factor is that enables him to do these things? Obviously he’s smart and driven and apparently has great leadership chops but there must be some other puzzle piece.
Have you read Thomas C Oden’s two books on how North Africa solidified Christianity?

How much Mary Jane has Rubenstein been smoking?
Can’t wait to see it take off!
No, I have not. It sounds interesting! I will check it out.
The point is..."African American" in our time is "Black American".
Reading his numerous biographies...He collaborates on his ideas. He’s the “1” in the rise to “10”.
