@steffenbendel6031 If only he'd stick to rocketry and automobiles, rather than oligarchy and plutocracy...

@samsmith9764 Only if it's in the environment.

Scott, would you address the role musk now has within US government, and the intrinsic conflict of interest it generates? I know you don't tend towards such things, but this is such a major departure in previous US space technology and fiscal management that it's literally unprecedented, and could cause major upheaval in the sector. Your thoughts would be of great interest to this audience.

@coronalight77 Congratulations on contributing even less than the commenter you're attempting to ridicule.

It's also nice not to be a narcissistic megalomaniac. But then, who among us is prefect?

@mandowarrior123 You may frame things as you wish, just as I have.

My heart wonders why you have a picture of Johnson alongside your "particular" handle.

The Iranian Mother Ship must be huge! Or, there's dozens of them around the Earth!!

@ NP holds some stock, and her influence is a thousandth, a millionth of musk's in their respective positions. But please, enjoy yourself in your myopia.

@harrymacdonald858 If so, are you Heckle or Jeckle?

@wagonroller3019 But how far out of the environment? Only a light-nanosecond, or at least a furlong? It matters, you know...

@KittyCat-qg4vd Thank you for your non-contribution to the discussion.

That's a heck of a good SIM job, I'd say that's $20 very well spent.

Fuel slosh was one of my first thoughts as well.

Everybody who matters... [I kid, Antipodeans are some of my favorite folks hanging onto the planet for dear life]

Thanks, Scott. Great review of the Starship fireworks, and I always appreciate the enthusiastic commentary that stays mature, without the "Look at that! Oh, Ah!" prattling of some other channels. Please carry on. [I'd ask some others to make sure their baggage is properly stowed]

Or Gustav Holst's "Venus"...

True, but stainless steel vs aluminum, so roughly three or four times the material tensile strength, so perhaps twenty or more times stronger from a bursting pressure standpoint.

Drift? Will SpaceX feature in Fast and Furious X?

Or if it does, it'll be in a Great Ball of Fire...

Well, if he can't throw a football over that mountain, perhaps he can launch a rocket over it?

A gentle note on those politicians that seek to divide us - it's not a matter of "both sides". There is one group that seeks to divide, and one that seeks to unite. One that operates on a theocratic/autocratic basis, and one that operates Democratically. Please remember that during your time in the voting booth...

Essentially Styrofoam insulation, to keep propellants or sensitive instruments at a controlled temperature.

@CanalTremocos I just read up on the subject, and what an awful situation it was for Mr. Aisha. It is interesting to note that the court that essentially jailed him on the ship was Egyptian, as was the Captain. But Aisha is Syrian, so had no allies in the country.

@Warrenmitchum Please share, don't horde all the drugs for yourself.

My DeLorean had real issues at 88mph. Doc, my mechanic, fixed it with a few modifications...

I've been doing a sterling job of smooshing myself under my own mass at 1G. No fancy apparatus needed!

The thigh-high boots and whip she bears are a giveaway. And she doesn't acknowledge safewords, either...

@grumbazor The only thing I see is a racist coward - that would you.

Big Country is still looking for an excuse to invade Norway, this may be it...

@sciencecompliance235 'twas indeed, but it's been around the street a few times so I can't claim it as my own...

@Acrowat40 You "DEI!" trollsheep are either so incompetent that any extra competition for jobs has you on the sidewalk, OR, mindlessly dittoing people whose agenda is disruption of American society. Here's a clue - all the C-Suite decisions that have gutted Boeing's engineering and manufacturing acumen are made by white MBAs - not a "DEI" hire to be found there. It's just good old fashioned greed.

@annoyingbstard9407 Congratulations, you succeeded in failing to understand the impact of that "politician" - the most anti-science, anti-expertise, anti-knowledge man to ever hold the presidency. If you think that doesn't matter...

Don't need all those pesky government agencies that might ask questions, do we?
