you misunderstand, most of the modern flat earthers think the earth is a simulation or a giant movie set truman show sort of thing being run or created by some sort of beyond human civilization or powers.

Is the planet on which this simulation is hosted round or flat?

i fully believe that a lot of these people have literally never seen the pictures of the earth the Apollo missions took from the exact same altitude that looked exactly the same

tbf most of the iconic apollo mission pictures people know and love are like, "earth hanging in the sky over the moonscape" but they were taking pictures basically the entire trip there and back and there's some really cool ones of the earth slowly receding from "fills up your entire field of view" to "about the size of a quarter"

also people in rural america are killing themselves more often

quote:

The aggregate suicide rate for counties outside of metropolitan areas climbed about 14 percent over the five-year period ending in 2016. By comparison, the rate within metro areas also increased—but only by 8 percent. The largest metro areas, in particular, experienced relatively small increases compared to everywhere else.

looks like phosphorus from somewhere is corroding the copper parts of the copper/graphite brushes that transfer energy from the stator to the rotor, and is making the whole thing fall apart.

where the phosphorus is coming from or what form its in I don't know, nor is it my job.

boostback first stages are a really impressive technological achievement that will significantly bring the cost to LEO down. his engineers are the real heroes though he does a little credit for breaking the back of the rear end in a top hat part suppliers and aerospace contractors that thought they had an untouchable money making machine

the sum of his actual internal contributions were sitting in a meeting with mueller, the guy who designed the rocket engine, upon hearing "designing a engine this large with a pintle injector and a single hydraulic system is hard, really hard, i don't know if I can do it, but if I could get it working we would save a ton of weight" he said "you should make this rocket engine work" and then mueller did

every time ol' musky acually puts his hand into the guts of spacex he causes delays and chaos, like all billionaires he gave seed money to a longshot, fell into success and then takes credit for it
