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.

Just like the simulations we have been seeing for years!

Spectacular achievement!

Watch Kamala and the FAA try to take the credit!

I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought for certain they’d lost it when the vehicle angled into the tower with a fire going on in one of the corners. I am so impressed!

Manned missions to mars is crazy talk today, like catching the booster was yesterday.

Outstanding

I believe that if you are 25 yrs old or younger you are living in an age where you will see a group of people leave planet Earth for another world in our solar system, they will leave forever, they will not come back, they will live the rest of their lives and pass away without ever stepping foot back on this planet.

We are on the brink of being a two planet, possibly a multi world species, it's exciting, wonderful and I wish I could be around to see it come true.

Hopefully they’ll all be Democrats. If they end up on a habited planet, though, it’ll be seen as an act of war.

We should start recruiting Marxist astronuts for the new mission now.
If they can brainwash people into believing global warming,we should be able to convince all of them to leave.
