We at SpaceX would like to remind the losers who have been gleefully pointing out how often our rockets explode that exploding rockets are a completely normal part of spaceflight.

      Then again, it is very difficult to post any Musk news that doesn’t sound like satire…

    Imagine the flight envelope as a graph. Going further to the right means going faster. Going further up means going higher. The goal of test flights is to push against the upper-right hand corner of that envelope. Unfortunately, that’s also where your postage gets stamped.

      Why are there no videos of the second Nazi salute he did when he did the two Nazi salutes? He turns his back after the first Nazi salute and Nazi salutes the flag behind him and I want a better video of that Nazi salute the Nazi did.

        There a thousand videos showing both salutes. Are you trolling?

        Maybe there are IDK. But the thing with the angle shown, you can see it’s a textbook Hitler NAZI heil. Where he slams his chest with a closed fist first, and then makes a powerful stretch to the heil gesture.
        It simply doesn’t get any more textbook fully complete Hitler gesture than that, but I don’t think he does the closed fist to chest thing again with the 2nd heil.

          Yeah but I just meant that when he turns around, the second one looks less doofy and contorted. I thought someone behind him would’ve been filming on their phones, I’m just surprised there were no phone videos from anyone over there. I wanted to see someone’s from that other angle. It’s weird there was only one video of it, I figured those assclowns would be relishing in having such a “le epic” moment recorded.

          You can just tell that he was thinking “I’m gonna do it! It’s gonna be such a master troll!” So he overthought the first one and it’s almost so lacquered in false confidence while the second one he just kinda doesn’t overcommit, if that makes sense.

          I fully agree, it was 100% a Nazi salute. Both of them. I just wanted to see another angle on that second one.

    I posted this elsewhere, but I present a 1930 Soviet Tarantaika (Boneshaker). For some reason it looks awfully familiar…

    Meanwhile, the town nearby is being decimated by these explosions. The environment around there is becoming a desolate wasteland and Musk was given license by Trump to gut the EPA and the FAA is being run by a sycophant who worships the ground Elmo walks on.
