e: though unless there is a substantial coincidence this looks like it's just a repetition of Travis Brown's independent tracking effort and isn't actually reflective of total numbers, just legacy verified accounts so gently caress MSNBC as usual I guess

the actual net is more like 400 which is still stupidly awful

Which also means they didn't get great operational data on those engines if the failure was external.

Well now they know that a bunch of concrete debris being thrown up in and around the engines are bad for them

strictly scientifically speaking, Elon Reeves Musk is of the "Heero Yuy" archetype, in gundam wing terms.

he's cold and calculating, ruthlessly intelligent and effective, but has a strong, hidden romantic side. this can also be seen in his hair style.

he's no duo maxwell because Elon Reeves Musk has never claimed to be a superior robot fighter, he's just a superior manager
he's certainly no qatra (sp?) because he's no colonialist
he can't be a trowa because he's no clown
finally, Elon Reeves Musk is no wufei because he NEVER fights alone
