Maybe we shouldn't let the offender investigate their own crashes? Of course now that Elon bought the FAA that might be impossible.

"Booster Survives, Passenger Die Again! There fixed the headline.

So is this going to be in the "Failed Space Companies" section? When I say "failed" I mean "failed to launch a single kg to LEO in 20 years and after billions of dollars spent" or "can't reliably launch tourists to space after 20 years and billions of dollars spent". Take your pick. BO is the...

I did

But but but I'm Elon......you can't tell me what to do. Doesn't the FAA realize that I have to continue to launch my sky polluting StarLink's? I mean there are disadvantaged people in remote locations all over the planet just dying for access to Pornhub and Facebook? Come on FAA get out of the...

I wanted to believe in Boeing, I really really wanted to believe in Boeing. You pretty much lost me at this point. They had ample time and more than ample funding to do this job and they still couldn't get it done. Ugh another great US company destroyed.

.....or the universe is older than we think.

"The result of this series of collapses is a dense dead star, or neutron star, with between one and two times the mass of the original star" Huh? Am I reading this right? How does the dead core have between one and two times the mass of the original star? How does the star gain mass?

Beyond stupid. So poorly conceived, written, directed, and acted! I already sent Netflix an email demanding my 2 hours back.

Again, it's the same language: Although just beginning to test the waters, if ultimately successful at scale, Quaise’s gyrotron based drilling systems could provide a renewable energy solution which would eventually be able to provide 100% of the world’s energy demand.

Wow, lots of Kool Aid drinking here. Let's put this discussion in perspective. When it comes to technologies like this, you often see the same language being deployed by those hawking their solutions, as John Bucknell so eloquently demonstrated. "energy technologies know that a scalable...

Thanks for the response SpaceX. lol the same narcissists crap Elon pumps out daily.

Much better than previous launches but at this pace they will never be ready for Artemis. I mean just the FAA process alone after each failure will make that goal impossible. I think what will happen is he will use NASA funding to continue to develop this kind of (really moon landing a...

I guess there are many ways to declare something "successful". This one, not so much.

I realize this is a technology demonstrator but unless you can scale this up, it's barely "debris neutral". Won't this leave behind it's own payload adapter? It's an even trade, or worse. To make a dent you would need huge fleets of these (more debris, light pollution, rocket launches) and each...
