Just to clarify. This will always happen with Hydrolox vehicles 1/3

Going to the moon has never been, and never will be, 'safe'. It's all just a matter of managed known risks.

This article is incredibly flawed. Firstly, the decision to not change the shield and instead modify trajectory was done by extensive ground testing (including 10 minute arc tests, modelling, worst case scenario investigations into damage tolerance and balancing risks that design changes add

Nope

Whataboutism that’s not even remotely true

Worried about them NOW? Buddy. They’re fucking happy

This article is flawed from the outset. It’s falsely claiming the CRASH clock is saying how long spacecraft HAVE to avoid collisions when in actuality the model shows how long until a collision would happen if ALL collision avoidance systems suddenly stopped working

This is revisionist. The S-V and Shuttle did not belong to all Americans. They were built by private companies and owned by the government Claiming that the Saturn V existed for anything other than a literal vanity project is also insanely ignorant to it’s history

NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS

Ah yes. Because the plane model is definitely the issue here

SpaceX’s little success btw

“Constantly falling out of the sky” It’s one on average a day. One. On planned deorbits where they fully demise Alarmist headlines like this do nothing but erode people’s understanding of the world as it actually is

look you can hate musk for other reasons but this whole article is riddled with biased language, bad sources. incredibly bad hit piece right from the get go. that dude Loverro mentioned 7 times in this piece is corrupt. here's a point by point rebuttal by a former NASA guy. x.com/CJHandmer/st...

does Musk overpromise? sure. "Elon time" as many call it. but when it comes to SpaceX even his "late" actual deadlines are far ahead of anyone. crazy that they're trying to make SpaceX the scapegoat in the public's eyes without going into the details about NASA, Boeing, ULA bureaucracy...

Dogshit article

Be careful what you wish for

The fact people will actually believe this article when the guy gets basic facts wrong is a testament to have dead truth is

No actually

I feel obligated to address the literal horsehit in this article so let’s go:

NASA receives billions in federal funding yet pays no federal taxes

Bros best argument is because of a decades old launch failure of an older model

It scrubbed because of the weather. Nice try to spread disinformation tho.

“I know it’s hard or whatever but shouldn’t it just be easy? I, in my completely uninformed and unaware mindset thought it was easy so why isn’t it?” Rockets Are ✨Hard✨ They don’t become easy because someone else somewhere figured it out on a different system lmfaoo

“That’s why NASA tests on the ground” SO SO CLOSE TO GETTING IT!!! If only they didn’t have such obvious double standards

Funny, I’m noticing a distinct lack of doomering and mockery after the BOLE test today.

People really be out here not knowing what an anomaly is

Love it when they block replies.

@torriangray.bsky.social rage much?

The pad wasn’t blown up. The concrete slab was but that didn’t even set them back in the end and the steel plate was already in fabrication to be installed prior to flight 2 as well

No

That academic is a Boeing Stan btw

No

It landed in the Indian Ocean

@mightyani.bsky.social You replied 3 times then said I was getting pissy you dumb cunt

@mightyani.bsky.social Do you know how intentionally wrong it makes you seem when you lock a post to prevent a response? Why do you feel the need to censor me huh?

I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.

I beg and plead that the people in this app get musks dick and ass pit of their heads (not sure why it’s there but idc) and learn how spaceflight works

Replies are seething lol.

These guys literally didn’t read the article. Only the headline Lazy dumbasses XD

FYI since 4 quadrillion people added me I do not and probably won’t use this. It’s a SHRF account
