how well — if at all — the controls for X-Wing and TIE Fighter would translate to a game pad.

Paying money for cosmetic skins will always be stupid.

Yes, which is another reason why this “explanation” is bullshit. You can already make calls from a plane, and it’s not really something that people do.

The only people here obsessed with Musk are the people obsessed with shitting on him every chance they get.

No one said they “planned on it blowing up,” what was said is that it met all stated launch goals.

It’s not whataboutism to point out blatant hypocrisy. Tesla requires owners to have an account, yet Musk’s complaining about another company having the same requirement.

I don’t mean to be a pest

Just dismiss Universalamander. They’re a known troll, and never worth engaging.

The real reason is this: airlines think people won’t stop yapping on their cell phones during flights

Is this one of those Ad’s disguised as an article?

I’m not sure if you’re trolling or being serious

Universalamander is a troll & should be dismissed.

Just dismiss the obvious troll. Why bother responding? It’s their very first comment. Don’t let trolls get a foothold.
