#InsteadOfGoingToMars
must be one of the absolute dumbest takes I've ever seen on this platform.
Perseverance costs as much as 36 hours of military spending. Every single thing we do in space benefits everybody on Earth. Like GPS? Weather forecasting? Climate science?

1. That $10 billion was never awarded and was shelved months ago
2. That money was not going to Jeff, it was going to the HLS National Team (which is 1/4 Blue Origin)or Dynetics
3. That money was to land NASA and international astronauts on the Moon, not private joyrides

The systems we develop in going out to Mars - or anywhere - help us learn how to build better systems for Earth. Not to mention, NASA has a 3x return on investment into the economy, and is just 0.5% of the fed budget. NASA's entire existence is 2 years of DoD spending.

People obsess over him so much that when SpaceX violated their license launching rockets out of Texas due to *public endangerment*, people brigaded and harassed the FAA for it.
The FAA, being a government agency, did not care.

I’m just going to advise everyone openly. Bring some kind of ear protection to this launch. This is at best the loudest, most powerful rocket to ever fly, and at worst the largest non nuclear explosion in history. Don’t lose your hearing, at least keep some earmuffs on standby.

Starship's test flight was perhaps the coolest thing I've seen in my whole life. But it also left me with a lot of thoughts, both about the experience itself, and about the program as a whole.

Fun fact: This is about a week of US military spending

So found out something incredibly cursed last night. Here’s an info sheet about Sea Dragon. It’s a pressure fed rocket, so pressures always must decrease - fuel at 425 psi, chamber 300…
But how’d they come up with just 226 psi for LOX? Wouldn’t that flow backwards? Well…

In case you were wondering how rocket reuse was going, a decade ago’s STS-133 mission launched with a Space Shuttle that had already been to space thirty-eight times using booster segments that had already been to space fifty-four times.
In case you were wondering how rocket reuse was going, tomorrow’s Axiom-1 mission will launch on a Falcon 9 first stage that has already been to space four times.

Let's not sugar coat this.
Falcon Heavy failed its static fire. They can't even properly hold the rocket down. If SpaceX can't be trusted to hold a rocket on the pad, they shouldn't be trusted with crew.
SpaceX can't handle heavy lift. And they can't handle crew, either.

This thing lives in my head rent free. SRMs shouldn’t be able to do this.
The Attitude Control Motor is used to control the position of the Orion capsule during an abort, or the LAS during a nominal jettison. It is capable of producing 7,000 lbs of directional thrust by using valves to control the direction the exhaust flows.

If I had a nickel for every time a Russian spacecraft docked to the ISS burned its thrusters until depletion* and made the ISS wobble, I’d have two nickels.

Hi thrust Launch Abort Systems are actively unsafe, & Falcon 9 is probably safe enough on ascent now that the astronauts would be safer without a LAS than with one. (Applies to Orion, Dragon, & Starliner on F9.) There have been a LOT of fairing failures. Dragon’s LAS exploded.
