THIS. Plus it’s real experience with Starship for the big game on MArs.

Otherwise they become propaganda pieces for Blue origin

Plus, although we haven’t gone to the Moon lately, we have an additional half a century of experience at doing space stuff. To put it another way, we’re about twice as far from Apollo as Apollo was from the V-2. The basic physics is eternal and in the case of the booster is unhappy (the controlled release of the…

I’d love to... whenever I can save enough to own a $30,000 car... Now that I have a new baby and a new mortgage, it’s not going to happen anytime soon sadly...

2. It’s because they’re already building Starship anyways, whether or not they get NASA funding. Redesigning a smaller, specialized vehicle for the Moon would cost a lot more money. 

I think it’s reasonable to go with what was in the GAO official report over Elon’s tweets. I’m not saying the number won’t change at some point, but I think official government report > tweet, at least for now.

The problem is that this kind of capability is very “use it or lose it”, and we’ve lost most of the expertise involved in building Moon rockets (the tooling for building them is long destroyed, the people involved either retired or died). They almost kind of have to reinvent the wheel, except do it better and cheaper…

Experienced readers of Musk’s twitter account know that his tweets vary from wildly exaggerated to flat out lies.

I’m confused, too. I had the virtually the same car (‘04 GTO) and literally nothing they typed reflected my experience. The automatic was known to be a bit of a dog but the manual was a tick behind the F-Body, with every other aspect of the car massively refined. Dude musta found Rob’s leftover Crack Pipes from the…

Hot take on the LS1. First time I have ever seen someone complain about the LS having “no torque”, or not revving. Granted, 6500 won’t set the world on fire, but it’s hardly disappointing.

I will not stand for this slander of the 3800.

The road signage is absolute garbage, but the big elephant sitting in the side of the room is the car should have never been traveling anywhere near that speed on a public road. They would have seen that just fine if they were driving the speed limit. That’s not gatekeeping and comes from someone that ownes a Corvette.

If you look at the lead shot, they almost cleared the pool!

Should add a Google pin labeling it as “Dead Dipshit’s Curve”.

Holy shit, that’s some good Kinja. Props to you!

Sadly, you would be mistaken. Cops brutally murder white folks with regularity but on a less per cap basis than minorities but still far more than any other rich country’s cops kill anyone, regardless of color or socio-economic status.

This is such a ridiculous practice in the first place. If you want your employees to buy your cars, just make better cars.

They’re apparently Polish, which actually manages to be worse.

“We aren’t racist... we’re Polish!” feels so ridiculous (and hypocritical) that it’s instantly meme-worthy.
