When I first ended up at Rocketdyne (it was serendipity, not a conscious move) I was gobsmacked knowing I was working on the Space Shuttle Main Engine program, with bonafide rocket scientists and engineers. It was 1987, almost exactly one year since Challenger exploded and I was working on the FMEA/CIL (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis/Critical Items List) in anticipation of the shuttle’s…
because while I don't give a flying fuck about musk
yesterday's (20/04/2023) launch was a succes. The point was to get it in the air, anything more was extra. It was a test flight. Every rocket goes through this process.
SpaceX is not bad at making rockets, there are a lot of very skilled scientists involved and rockets are constantly being reused etc. technology has been rapidly improving this field.
This is new technology and it is being tested. As I have said before, this happens and has happened for every rocket. With NASA, with Rocketlab with SpaceX, any company you can think of.
The scientists now have a lot of data they can use to improve the rocket where things went wrong.
This was a test flight, nothing was on board, this is a testing phase and this is new development. This was the first time that the full stack was tested in flight. I am speaking for the scientists here because they are the actual key to this. They've (scientists in this field in general) made some incredible forward steps in the last years.
It's probable that the explosion was planned to some extent and likely that it was absolutely expected to happen.
Yes you can laugh at the explosion, yes it looks hilarious I can appreciate the memes a lot please continue.
But do realise that this did not go wrong and this is a positive for the scientists that work on it.
kind of obsessed with how glados woke up and saw chell with an orb in front of her and the first thing she did was pick up and crush chells orb without even knowing or caring about the context of any of that
Maybe it wasn’t such a bad assumption for Stolas to think he could get away with spelling out B-I-T-C-H in front of Stella when referring to her. ;) I think Andrealphus at this point might try something similar if he needed to. XD
she's a Joja employee that became part bunny after dna from a rabbit entered her human genome during an incident in the secret room of the Joja Headquarters™️
juno is still technically a joja employee when she moves to the valley. morris tries to get her to help him with capitalistic dominance over pelican town. pierre gets on his knees and begs her to help him drive Morris and the Joja Cronies™️ out of town (and pretend like she didn't see what his secret stash was about). WHAT WILL SHE DO ??
more importantly what will juno do about the Many Hot Singles In Her Area !!! is this real life or some sketchy internet pop up ad ???
India has successfully landed on the South Pole of the moon. This comes days after Russia’s failed attempt. And I for one think this achievement is extra delicious.
So do we just not talk about Vash being able to handle a spaceship control panel, bypass the lock that was on Tesla’s files and him being very comfortable fixing his own arm like do we just not talk about it like do we just not t
