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

Elon Musk’s Starship rocket has completed a world first after part of it was captured on its return to the launch pad.
The SpaceX vehicle's lower half manoeuvred back beside its launch tower where it was caught in a giant pair of mechanical arms, as part of its first test flight.
It brings SpaceX’s ambition of developing a fully reusable and rapidly deployable rocket a big step closer.
"A day for the history books," engineers at SpaceX declared as the booster landed safely.
The chances of the bottom part of the rocket, known as the Super Heavy booster, being caught so cleanly on the first attempt seemed slim.
Prior to the launch, the SpaceX team said it would not be surprised if the booster was instead directed to land in the Gulf of Mexico.

Elon Musk is the man. Glad he is on the side of Truth and Trump.
That's an interesting observation, especially with those other NASA facilities located in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Flat-out incredible. Right out of Buck Rogers.
Privatize the rocket programs. Shut down NASA and save US taxpayers billions.

This is almost as impressive of what SpaceX Did today. Not quite but very close

Boeing employees are sad....
I hope that Elon Musk announces his IPO for Starlink this year. I want to make millions!
SpaceX/DoD/NASA need a Western launch site (Pacific Coast) for polar orbit insertion launches... thus Vandenberg Space Force Base...TX or FL don’t cut it for that...I suggest Elon look at Baja California...less regs in Mexico!
“Vandenberg’s southward launch trajectory is advantageous for deploying satellites into high-inclination polar and Sun-synchronous orbits, needed for weather forecasting, Earth observation, and reconnaissance missions as they enable comprehensive and regular global coverage. Launching into such orbits from the East Coast of the United States presents significant challenges due to geographical constraints.”

What about Nevada???
Weight is an operational property getting off the ground. Stainless weighs a lot more than composites
Mass is an operational property in fairing size.
Both of which in Starship are handicaps.
33 engines cannot over come weight at distance. They are only good to get 50 tons to LEO. Not beyond. Without refueling. Refueling takes time and suffers from fuel loss. If it actually works at all.

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.

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.

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

"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, filmWhat 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.
Maybe, but another factor is range safety....in case of emergency self-destruct you cannot have the early flight path over populated areas. That is why existing launch sites at the cape in FL, Boca Chica in TX and Vandenberg launch out over the ocean.
Musk and SpaceX have a lot of catching up to do on Muslim outreach.
Nice under-three-minutes edit, with a cool soundtrack.

Thanks!
My pleasure.
