Spacex’s entire philosophy is to test things in the real world, see what breaks. Analyse the data and then go again.

There are a lot of things in rocketry that simply can’t be simulated (yet).

You liberals seem to try and use each test flight as a flop, to beat Elon musk with. But each flight is actually a huge incremental step forward in their journey to Mars.

It wasn’t just the heat shield, there were other profound changes to the starship on this iteration. They do it every time. They remove things, change materials etc.

I didn’t expect you to be so pathetically anal about this, so I accept that maybe it wasn’t the heat shield that caused this explosion.

They will release the data soon about what actually caused it and then the next version of the ship will be an improvement.

Regardless, the overall point I was making is correct. Each starship that blows up is NOT an embarrassing failure.

And you can’t be an engineer, I think you’re lying because otherwise all of this would be obvious.
After several weeks of refraining, I can only conclude that you either a bot or a very very naughty boy. Either way, I feel you have to stay out of my life. . Bye

You got

You really don't understand how poor your take on this is or maybe you do. Calling me a liar, telling me I'm pathetically anal oh dear Os your plot is really lost.
 
For the Russia apologists and those blaming Nato (laughable as it is) for Russian expansion, here is Trump’s version:

Donald Trump, "Despite the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, I've always had a good relationship with Putin" "Putin wants to end the war, he's going to be more generous than he needs to be" "I used to speak to Putin about Russia invading Ukraine, it was the apple of his eye"
 
Once a ****, always a ****.

I think it is strange that anyone should suggest that behaviour in a Reform constituency office should be any different. The alleged behaviour should have been par for the course. Nature of the beast....

I think they are doing their best to reflect their voters. They are absolutely falling apart tonight. Spiteful tweets flying all over the place! <laugh>
 
This lad in America releases some good political videos. He must be doing something right as in one of them Fox News was upset.

Simply; you’re not an engineer to continue with this. You’ve clearly never created or built anything in your life, or you’d know what I’m saying is true

The Russia thing was a hoax, though. Proved by multiple independent reports.
 
Trudeau was almost in tears yesterday in his anger at the way Trump was treating his country. Canadians are determined to stop buying American products.

Trump doesn’t actually want tariffs. He is using the threat of tariffs to force cooperation on economic (and non-economic issues).

Almost all of his rhetoric is him starting his negotiation. It’s a tactic he uses.

Starts with something extreme, anchors the discussion way out there. Then negotiations begin and he ends up with a favourable deal.

He literally wrote a book on this tactic and yet still people freak out every time. Makes me chuckle.

He gets exactly what he wants - look at Europe. They’re now reducing social welfare and spending on defence. America have effectively been paying Europe’s welfare bill for years until his recent negotiations

I`m an engineer, and the reason things are tested is to verify that the design and construction are correct, so that the equipment doesn`t fail in production. To suggest that multiple failures are just iterations to a final design is just nonsense. What kind of engineer are you by the way ?
`They will release data soon about what actually caused it` ! - can`t wait !

This isn’t the same as working on a production line. They clearly defined this as a maximum stress test. They highlighted areas on the rocket that were weak points from the previous test that they strengthened for this test. They also weakened other areas that performed well.

They literally stated this before the test. I don’t understand why you guys can’t comprehend this.

Think of it as beta testing of new software, rather than a hardware launch

You are crushing on Elon so hard!
