SpaceX conducted another successful Starship launch test yesterday evening.

You can watch the full, 1:40:00 footage here:

Invidious YouTube

I’d recommend watching it, it’s a well-done video documentary, not too long, with good views.

        And, it shouldn’t need to be said, Elon Musk has exactly zero to do with this other than paying.

        This is a conversation between engineers and physics.

            That doesn’t change the point that the people who designed, built and operated the spacecraft in question here are the ones who own the accomplishment, regardless of ownership or funding.

          Exactly zero except he’s the owner and supporting spaceX directly contributes to his bank account.

          No thanks

            Supporting SpaceX financially contributes to his bank account, posting on social media does nothing.

            The engineers that did this are great, I don’t care about Elon Musk… I’ll choose a different space company to launch my satellites.

              That ignored my comment entirely. But even if you don’t pay him through satellites, hyping this failure still contributes to his bank account.

                I hope the world can survive the $0.38 worth of advertising that my comment adds to his trillion dollar bank account.

          Paying? Like Musk is paying for anything lol.

          Taxpayers have paid for this.

          He is just a punchable face.

              You understand NASA has always been capitalist oriented right? The point is to outsource to support the people like Elon. Now if you worked for ESA, the CSA, JAXA, ect… You would be working for the people.

              Fuck Elon, but fuck capitalism in general. I think SpaceX should be taken over by NASA and shit be done in house but that’s not the world we live in unfortunately.

                Ok, then what is nasa’s stock value or its annual growth? Ill save you time, it doesnt have that because its not a capitalist organization and has never has been. Its a government branch. Go back to civics class.
