Ah damn, you should have used a /s on that.  Sorry.

I only meant that a D&D specific audience was turned off by the brand because of the OGL issue. In RPG circles there were a lot of people boycotting the film because of it. I wouldn’t call it the biggest factor of why it didn’t make more money, but it a factor that should be considered.

If he dies before it’s completed, they need to

I don’t know what the weight penalty would be, but with Starship’s design, it would appear to be feasible that you could design a “command deck” module that could pop off in case of loss of thrust. I know that a capsule ejection system was considered for the shuttle, but scrapped as too complex and heavy. With

Jimmy Buffet was the type of businessman that liked playing baseball, so he bought himself a minor league team and made himself player/coach.

*Ghostbusters 5, or Ghostbusters 3 depending on how you’re counting because Ghostbusters: Afterlife decided to remove Ghostbusters 2 from canon.

Yeah the release date was absolutely suicidal. Let’s sandwich it between John Wick 4 and Super Mario Bros to ensure our two main audiences (teens through thirties people and families with kids) have extremely strong and better-known alternatives, that’ll definitely work out great! I literally know multiple actual D&D

I believe Crew Dragon had just one test flight of the capsule before the Demo 2 mission with Bob and Doug going to the ISS. And of course the boosters that they were atop were already flight-proven, so the tests were mainly focused on the capsules’ performance. But to answer your question: (surprisingly?) not too many

It sounds counterintuitive, but SpaceX improves its vehicles through failure.

Yeah. Seems some engines were kept running as the booster was swinging around, and one died almost immediately after separation.

Scott Manley postulated in his recent launch analysis video that it could be gas ingestion into the engines (which could over-rev or otherwise blow up the turbopumps) or fluid hammer effect wrecking piping that did the booster in. Apparently, you can see various engines winking out in the telemetry in time with

Vast improvement over the first attempt on basically all fronts. All engines lit, and burned cleanly - didn’t watch the official stream because it was only available on Nazi-Elon’s tweeter - and some of the footage broadcast by NSF looks pretty friggin amazing.

Yeah, I have a history with these types of people so it doesn’t surprise me. Living overly insulated lifestyles tend to bring out the worst of us. When your life isn’t as interesting as what you see out in the world or on TV, you may find yourself trying to invite that Michael Bay drama with the little things such as

I see the ADL snapped him back so hard he swung to the full other side, now saying that “from the river to the sea” is a call for genocide (Narrator: it is not) and anyone using it will be banned from the platform.

There’s actually a huge plot device they can explore if they wanted to:
Why was Prime Rick so obsessed with creating enemies that would eventually hunt him down? Even if he never anticipated a smart Morty besting him, he was awfully systematic about creating an almost infinite universe of Rick’s that hated him and

I would so love to see an inflatable heat shield actually used in more than  a test flight!

Personally I think those tiles are going to be a big problem for re-use.  Better then the shuttle as they seem to standardized as many as possible, but I think enough that its going to cause an issue for any sort of immediate re-use that Elon is looking for.  

Which mostly worked, I think?

But that’s literally the whole point of the X-Men. Which is why I think they work much better in their own isolated universe.

I now fully expect a “secret wars” style combining of two worlds from an incursion to pull mutants into the MCU (like how they brought Miles into the comic universe). I’m not sure if it’s going to work that well, but I also think bringing mutants into the MCU will make it overstuffed anyway.
