I really doubt the meme had any significant effect on his wealth.
If god can make everything and not leave any traces, then that also means there's no proof of his doing existing. Something which cannot be disproven cannot be proven either. A neccassary part of any rational proof is falsifiability. I am god. Prove me wrong. What? You can't? THEN WORSHIP ME PEON!!!
"Faith" beans believing in something without sufficient evidence. If there were evidence, it wouldn't be faith.
I certainly have some trash taste myself, so I can't judge, but Kid Rock was one piece of trash taste that I never had. I fucking hate "cowboy", which stopped me ever being interested in anything else he did.
Well there's a phrase that can be interpreted in... uh... more than one way.
Always kinda impressed with woman who can do shit like this in high-heels. Back when I worked in an airport, I had a pilot pass through wearing long high-heeled boots, and she was definitely on her way to a plane (had all the usual kit, another pilot with her). I asked her if she was going to change shoes first, she said no. Don't know if she was messing with me, but those airliners do have some huge rudder pedals.
You know, when I see pictures of real royal regalia and such, I'm always surprised by how fucking tacky and cheap it looks.
Thought you were going, and you don't want to look at a Falcon 9 launch, but you want me to watch all these videos of yours? Nah, I'm done.
I can't find my source right now, but take a look at any Falcon 9 launch, staging and first stage flip happen at about twice the altitude of this test, and 38km is just way too low to perform the kind of aggressive flip manoeuvre they had planned. The engines also did not appear to shutdown prior to the spin (indicating it was still trying to climb), and you obviously have to shut them down before attempting separation, which also suggests that separation was never attempted.
In a similar vein, my family has had 3 black labrador cross breeds and two of them hated water. The one that liked water was also most crossbred (least labrador) one.
You should label this as CG since it obviously is. It doesn't look real, the quality is suspiciously perfect, and it would have to have been taken by another SR-71 flying in close formation with a motion control camera mount in its belly (which was probably not even technically possible).
I said right at the start that it was a hypothesis, but his speculation doesn't not disprove mine in any way. The rocket spun during what should have been a flip and separation manoeuvre, it was at 30something kilometres where there's lot's of air resistant but it was supposed to be at 80 kilometres where there is almost no air. I think that difference is the most likely reason for the spin. Also, completely inappropriate language. I've been nothing but polite to you.
Again, speculating.
Even if this person isn't just trolling, and there was a real dog and a real visit from a shelter worker, I'm completely convinced that they're heavily misstating what happened.
Boeing is pretty terrible, but the rest of the big aerospace companies are hardly better, and it was the politicians who decided to make SLS a pork rocket, Boeing just made sure it was unusually expensive pork.
It also has dog engagement and spur gears, and the gear ratios look pretty close. Definitely a racing gearbox there.
On it's own, a sequential shifter just makes it a bit faster to shift gears, so you still need to use the clutch, but a sequential shifter is often used along with other design features suitable for racing (such as close ratios, dog engagement, etc) which may make it practical to routinely shift without the clutch. Racing drivers are also usually less concerned with completely fucking up their gearboxes in the long term since they can just rebuild it after the race.
Yes I agree, and that's more or less what I said about the situation in my reply before last. He's trying to run a well established company in a highly competitive sector like it was a start-up, and his whole reason for buying it and his mission in running it is a fantasy. There's no right way to tilt at a windmill.
If so, that would be exactly what a good leader does in any organization: find the right people and then stay out of their way (and exactly what he ISN'T doing with Twitter).
He's speculating, and not even describing stage separation correctly anyway. Even if he's right and it was a partial separation leading to a spin, Starship was designed to separate at a much higher altitude where aerodynamic forces are much lower, so the most likely reason for such a separation failure would be the lower than expected altitude.
I share a house with my dad and our landlady is old woman who never raises the rent.
It's not supposed to spin at all. It obviously has to able to fly with the first stage connected, but it was never supposed to be that low in that atmosphere that late in the flight.
Yeah, you can't just bolt a Gemini to an ICBM and call it good, but it's still the case that developing those rockets involved many failures. SpaceX has developed the Falcon 9 and its first stage landing tech with the same strategy and they succeeded with that, at a lower cost and faster than the competition. Yes, it definitely is a test platform for new ideas, but SpaceX can afford it because of Falcon 9, and it puts them ahead of everyone else when the market catches up.
That's why the evacuation zone is so big, because rockets still blow up pretty frequently. This launch was definitely had failure chance higher than a few percent, but the evacuation requirements are the same either way since even a 1% failure chance is clearly too high for flying over people. Economically, there does come a point when "measure once cut twice" is actually cheaper just because of the complexity and cost of rocket engineering.
