"they run the thruster till after they land? i assumed they ploped the last bit down, surprising it doesnt damage anything"

Falcon 9 does a hoverslam landing instead of a hovering landing like New Glenn and Starship does. Because the minimum thrust of its single Merlin engine is still greater than the weight of the booster.

So the landing burn must be precisely timed to coincide with the height of the barge's deck. Too early, and the Falcon 9 booster will start rising up again until all fuel is burned. Too late, and the booster crashes into the deck. There are emergency crumple zones in the legs, to mitigate the landing, if the booster lands too hard.

The barge uses cooling water sprays to mitigate noise and heat, and boosters land at different spots on the barge. Land landings use hardened landing pads.

LC36 after explosion of NG booster
People wonder why the SpaceX IPO is a big deal.

Rocket science is hard.

That's why.
The issue there is young people talk a lot but they don't show up on election day.

George McGovern being the most severe example.

Ron Paul had this problem in the primaries.

Not even saying she is the worst candidate - Kamala is an outright fucking whore and I prefer big booty latinas to niggerpajeets any day - but her base is notoriously lazy.
Obama is a lot smarter than AOC. Her problem is going to be handling the curveballs Team B will be pelting her with. That's on top of any woman being at a disadvantage. She's severely lacking in gravitas.

ZOG Team B jews are making power moves against all luddite factions in the US. Because they fear China's rapid promethean advancement in technology.

The biggest luddite faction is Team B's main ZOG rival... Team A and its DEI shitskins.

Angostura Bitters was created over 2 centuries ago. It's the original. Devised in Trinidad.

Orange Bitters is great at reinforcing the orange flavor of drinks with Orange Liqueur in it (Grand Mariner, Orange Curacao, Triple Sec). Great for a dash topper and a rimmer. Orange Liqueur is the most popular liqueur in cocktail recipes. So this is probably the 2nd one you want to get.

Fee Brothers Black Walnut and Aztec Chocolate are great for accenting coffee liqueur drinks, Irish Creme drinks and that kind of thing. Also if your bourbon has chocolate notes, this will reinforce them.

Fee Brothers Rhubarb gives a nice sweet and sour Rhubarb taste, to jazz up a rum or whiskey cocktail. Like a Manhattan! It also goes great with fruit juices. This Rhubarb bitters also goes good where Cherry flavors are involved (even subtley)...it's not cherry but tart cherry adjacent which adds an interesting dimension or nuance, contrast, complexity.

Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters brings the Allspice Dram (Baking Spices) to the party. These are nice additions to many rum tiki cocktails especially. Like the Tradewinds that I made 2 nights ago.

Don't rely on fedi to be your sole source of news. Need to go far and wide across the internet. And touch grass to re-calibrate your perception every so often.

That's why I occasionally go physically to the launch sites.

@BroDrillard @sickburnbro

The jews found out that China is jew-proof. Then discovered that not only is China aware of jew subversion, but China is also moving fast in a promethean direction in its military technological power.

Team B jews are already making power moves against luddite factions within ZOG.

Traditional marriage is completely illegal in the United States. A man can sire children without the US marriage certificate of course.
