No Mars flights soon, that’s for sure. Esp. considering the payload capacity has gotten lower with each version. Now it’s basically similar to their old rockets, but with 3x the fuel consumption - that is, if it would actually reach controlled orbit.
I’ve been told a few times by engineers in the space launch industry that the problems with this rocket are much more fundamental than most of the red coverage suggests. How many of them are supposed to blow up?

We knew there was more with these clowns. The below added to the way they use Gmail is amateur hour.

We can’t afford this for this madness to continue.

I made a thing!

I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev

It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃

Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
Nightsky | hctr.dev
See live conversations from all over Bluesky as a dynamic night sky
