I’ve seen people post on Youtube videos saying it is a ‘harmless prank’. They do not understand that lasering a commercial airliner or any other airplane for that matter causes a dangerous situation during one of the most critical phases of flight: takeoff or landing.
You’ll likely hear arguments ‘Yeah but the planes…

Total cost of Starship: $5 billion
Total cost of SLS: $23.8 billion

Starship is twice as heavy (11 million vs 5 million).

Not necessarily. The point of Starship v1 may have been to prove a rocket of that size could launch and hot-stage and now version 2 is going to iterate on that idea and add more by using what they learned previously.

Iterative design process:

Yeah if there’s a meter of water, you’re in BIG trouble.

I trust Elizabeth’s (The Charismatic Voice) opinion FAR more than I trust a clickbaity website with slideshows...

If you don’t like the song, fine, but you cannot judge it on its technical merits.

If Disturbed’s cover of The Sound of Silence is the worst cover ever, I want to know the BEST cover ever because that cover is amazing.

I had a mild case of C. Diff caused by antibiotics I took for a tooth infection and despite it being “mild”, it still sucked. The diarrhea from it is watery, very frequent, and painful.
It took 2 rounds of Vancomycin and 1 of Fidaxomicin (Brand name Dificid) to cure it because after the first round of Vancomycin, it…

Yeah, you may be right.
I remember on the last eclipse that was in the Western part of the US, I was not in the path of totality but I was close enough where during the eclipse, it got almost ‘shady’, like I was wearing sunglasses. It wouldn’t have been that hard to look at the sun for longer during that time since it…

Just in case this comes up:

Looking at an eclipse is NOT more dangerous than looking at the sun. There seems to be a misconception that an eclipse somehow makes the sun’s rays MORE damaging to your eyes when that is not true.

Ahh, the first Chrichton book I ever read when I was like 11. Great book. I should read it again.

C Diff diarrhea smells horrifically bad, too.

Yeah, there are tons more. I believe the list is in the thousands from a post I saw on Reddit.

No, actually the goal was for it to clear the launch tower. Anything else was considered bonus. They never actually said this launch would reach space. 

You don’t understand at all how any of this works. Space is extremely hard and failure at the cutting edge is EXPECTED. If you don’t fail at least sometimes, you aren’t trying hard enough.

A boy took more than a dozen allergy pills. That is what happened to his liver.

That’s an extremely shortsighted and narrow-minded view of this. If everybody had this same attitude, we’d be nowhere near where we are now.

I work in data centers and they all use a lot of water for cooling and data centers tend to run 24/7/365.
A quick Google search shows that a Google data center uses 450,000 gallons per DAY.

A man got bit by his cat. This is how his lungs shut down.

I drove a Dodge Dart in California as a rental. I got the exact same impression.  Nothing about it stood out. Nothing was special. It was just ... a car. It worked fine. It drove. But nothing at all stood out AT ALL.
