Our sun is one of 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Our galaxy is one of billions of galaxies populating the universe. It would be the height of presumption to think that we are the only living things in that enormous immensity.

A Historic Launch: The Saturn V Rocket Takes Flight

Witness the iconic Saturn V rocket, the powerful launch vehicle that propelled the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. This massive rocket, standing at 363 feet tall, lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on July 16, 1969, carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin on their historic journey.

Elon's SpaceX Starship:

Booster 14 rolling back to Megabay 1, after successfully completing a full static fire.
The Saturn V sized booster is scheduled to be reused in its 2nd flight for IFT-9, after it flew on the IFT-7 orbital velocity test flight.

Starship Booster 14 rollback 2nd static fire 08APR2025.mp4
@WilhelmIII
It's astonishing that Ariane 7 is also an expendable rocket, instead of a reusable rocket. It's an admission that the managerial class in Europe cannot innovate, even if such innovation is of strategic and geopolitical importance.

@KlausGerdGiesen

The head of the ESA basically said that they keep expendable rockets because their program is a jobs program.

@KlausGerdGiesen

Ariane 6 is an obsolete expendable rocket. The same is true for the upcoming Ariane 7. Airbus, Arianespace, Boeing, Lockheed, and other managerial corporations cannot develop reusable rockets.

SpaceX, RocketLab, Stoke Aerospace, and Blue Origin are all founder run companies. Same is true for China’s eight private rocket companies. All run by Whites and Asians who have technical knowledge.

Booster 14 getting ready to return to MegaBay 1 after successful static fire testing. B14 will be the 1st Starship booster to attempt reuse in its 2nd orbital velocity test flight (IFT-9). B14 previously flew on IFT-7.

'Nothing ever happens.'

Americans spend more money on their pets than on starving Africans. OK, so the USA isn't all bad.

@Obfuskation Coronahoax wiped out 1/3rd of small businesses.

I'd call that a downturn.
