The only misstep has been the chase scenes. Jeez, if you want a little one to avoid big people and create a few moments of chase/threat to her, just have her dive into a thicket in the woods, and crawl through it so bigger people can’t get at her! Same with a crowded market place, have her dive under stalls, keeping…

i mean it may not make sense to you, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense. There are many different types of fraud, not just accounting fraud, and he would be entitled to take a look at company documentation prior to closing the deal.

I had this too!

because they’ve made grandiose claims before on rocket capability that ended up having to be scaled back.

did you try it with milk?

Exactly. It would be like someone responding to my comment about some new feature of a smartphone with - “well, 25 years ago you didn’t even have a smartphone!”

I mean... doesn’t that describe Twitter in it’s current state?

He’s not a natural born citizen so I’m not sure how he would even run.

Not much. This rocket is not designed to be a cheap ride to LEO.

i can’t imagine helicopter pilots are very risk-averse people and would understand that the risk of the rocket destroying them (it’s used all or nearly all of it’s fuel at that point) is much less than the risk of the helicopter having some kind of malfunction.

He has never had any unique ideas of his own.

Another great way to get permanent marker off a white board: Color over it with the actual dry erase marker and then erase as normal. The permanent marker will come off with it.

Here is a graphic to help out (if Kinja lets it work) - you are assuming the same trajectory, which would not be the case for an actual launch.

So I take that your cringing at the HLS Starship made it so you could not see the landing thrusters up near the top?

That’s exactly what they did. If they were actually firing it AT someone, the flight profile would look much different.

Not sure what you mean by “fly past”, but they wanted to test a full flight but not actually go into orbit. So instead of using their velocity to go horizontally (orbit), they used it to go relatively straight up.

“The flight suits of the new crew are made in the colors of the emblem of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, which all three cosmonauts graduated from.”

I suspect that if you would have asked him directly, he would have lied to you about who he actually voted for.

They already knew they could fuck with it if they wanted to - no double-check necessary. Russia already does most if not all of the orbit adjustments. There would be no need to do a dry run. You are simply speculating - and not well.

I agree with you completely (everyone IS behind SpaceX and SLS is not a true competitor) but remember that BO is much more secretive than SpaceX in regards to their development and testing process. SpaceX is building Starship in a field where we can all see it. If it was being built inside and the tests kept secret,…
