Maybe these celeb’s personal assistants should point out how far down the line twitter is when it comes to popularity and stick to Facebook and Instagram instead. Same for news orgs too, they all should ditch twitter and focus on where the vast majority of people are instead of giving money to Elon and sharing verification with nazis.

they hosed up something people have had a handle on for like what, better part of a century now? "well the explosion we're making is gonna drive the rocket UP, so all this stuff on the ground will be fine probably"

"well the explosion we're making is gonna drive the rocket UP, so all this stuff on the ground will be fine probably" they thought the thrust would divert horizontally after hitting the pad. which it did. by destroying the pad.

"well the explosion we're making is gonna drive the rocket UP, so all this stuff on the ground will be fine probably" It's just first principles. How do you really know if something we've always done has any actual concrete science behind it or if it's just traditional and it's the wrong way to do? Thankfully we gained lots of data from this and we will be able to make process moving on forward.

Elon is the only person brave enough to break away from the chains of the past and attempt to reinvent the wheel. Why stick to the old same shape when there could be a better shape out there? Nobody even wants to try!

"we will be rebuilding our launch platform to feature a large lever which pivots on a fulcrum, or see-saw, which will launch the rocket upward when we drop a large rock on the opposite end of the lever - or see-saw."

mdemone posted:they thought the thrust would divert horizontally after hitting the pad. if i think about the scale of resources that went into this extremely expensive firework i start getting heated but at the same time i feel like, were i in any position that would have musk's ear, i would surely be so sick of his poo poo that i'd let the catastrophe happen just as a "you have to let people make mistakes on their own sometime" lesson and hope that the large enough public shame makes it stick (it won't) callous perhaps considering it could have been worse given how much payload we're working with here, but were i in said position, i'd also likely not give a poo poo.
