I’m all for mankind colonizing the stars, but I don’t want that A hole down a K hole Elmo involved in any way. I don’t trust the cunt not to have a back door into the colony, that he opens whenever his fee fee’s get hurt, or if his K hole runs dry.
Oh please. Elon will long be dead before we are ever seriously colonizing mars.
That’s his only redeeming feature…that he’ll be dead one day.
Whoop whoop! I hope it caused a lot of damage.
a lot of tax payer money just give byebye, mostly, part of it went straight into Musk’s pocket
Was he on it? If he was this is a complete success.
If he wasn’t.
Better luck next time I guess?
Elon is stupid, but I’m thinking he’s not so stupid as to board one of his own rockets.
He’s a chicken shit ? Why are all these tough guy conservatives such pussies
I mean, I wouldn’t either. I wouldn’t want to risk death. He knows it’s not risk-free.
Neither is doing elephant sized doses of Ketamine
I didn’t say he isn’t stupid. 🫣😅
idk, got to check that “is Musk already dead” tracker community
If this is real, please post the link!

looks like last post was 6 days ago, but was fairly active before that
Thank you!
MAYBE if we Cut the FAA and OTHER Regulatory agencies it’ll not Explode next Time?
Musk is going to be PISSED when he finds out there is no bureau of physics he can subsume or destroy from within. I believe one Rush Stockton came to a similar conclusion, if he indeed had time for that conclusion to even form before perishing.
Elon should really pilot the next starship himself. Just put a small 1 person capsule on top (or maybe even 5 people so he can take some of his billionaire friends along) and connect a playstation controller to the engines. Stockton did it, and he made several succesful trips. What you do yourself, you do better!!
SpaceGateX
Can’t wait for the documentary
Ive only ever heard from third parties that spaceX sucks to work for because they way over work you. Idk if thats actually true. But this kind of thing makes me wonder…
I’ve heard the same. I’m sure it certainly doesn’t help, but I think also what they’re trying to do is really difficult
Fairly sure they “saved” hundreds of thousands in wages only to lose millions to billions in material. An engineer working 80 hour weeks month after month isn’t nearly going to be as productive as one doing 40hr weeks, no matter how many hours they put out. There’s actually a point where it turns negative and every extra hour put in detracts from output, not to mention long-time wellbeing and development.
My feed rn:
reached an altitude of 890 feet
Kids science projects make reusable rockets that go higher.
reached an altitude of 890 feet
300 meters.
It’s a test flight. Going higher was likely not the goal.
I would ride a Honda rocket a hundred times before ever setting foot on anything developed by SpaceX
I imagine riding a rocket like final boss fight in Just Cause 2.
I imagine it more like Dr. Strangelove
If you told me that I’d be cheering for space rockets exploding 10 years ago I would have called you crazy. Incredible how much damage that fiend has done to our society.
It’s incredible, isn’t it? I used to be so stoked on space exploration and all the science that goes with it. Still am, really, but my enthusiasm has cooled markedly once billionaires started throwing dick-shaped space missiles around for no other reason than being able to.
I’ve been wondering why they don’t blow up more regularly. I imagine a few long range sniper shots would make them explode easily. They should be relatively easy to hit, seeing how big they are.
How many times does this gotta happen before we start calling them missiles instead of rockets?
Break out the marshmallows
Rocket fuel is toxic. Don’t cook with it. Don’t touch or breathe it. Don’t even look at it.
Once it’s burned it’s mostly safe, aside from the usual problems with combustion products.
Is LOX and methane really that bad?
I was thinking hydrazine. I don’t know what this rocket was using.
Putting the Bang back in Big Bang!
At least they didn’t wreck (more of) the environment and nearly down passenger planes with this one.
Progress!
Getting it out of the way so the engineers can enjoy the long weekend.
What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn’t believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees, and there’s no way he’s not demanding more overtime to rebuild after this fuck-up.
oh no! anyway…
Well at least it was a decent looking explosion?
