“The next steps to test were ship payload deployment using the pez system for Starlink and, eventually, Starmind satellites; then an in-space burn to ensure the ship could relight in space; atmospheric reentry at orbital speeds; and finally the flip and burn on target. The reason for doing all of this in a suborbital trajectory was to ensure that no matter what issues the ship encountered in the coast phase, it would reenter over water. The last thing SpaceX would want is to go into orbit and then be unable to deorbit a 52-meter-long, 9-meter-wide stainless-steel vehicle with a heat shield.“

"Ship 40’s flawless flight promotes next mission catch potential"

"SpaceX’s Starship Flight 13 demonstrated that the Ship can complete its mission and return intact, surviving water impact without destruction. The Booster, however, remains a work in progress as SpaceX continues refining the clean-sheet Block 3 design."

“this thread is the gayest shit ever. You don’t sink US Navy ships. You mission kill them. Americans will move the earth and the heavens to fix them out of sheer pride at astronomical cost instead of putting the effort into the fight.”

“Between morale problems and poor quality a mission kill is as likely from within as without. Tying up the US Navy isn’t a serious challenge and not something worth bragging about”

This is even dumber on second look.

This was a reply to China’s intentions in the future of warfare, not on what Iran should do.

#IFT13 update.
Elon Musk said that SpaceX will try to recover Ship 40 for more inspections, instead of scuttling it.

@admin You can say that with some confidence because you live here. In Iran they have to engage in telescopic precognition. They can't be sure. That's why they hesitate.

US power projection, for now, is completely dependent on air support. China knows this, but retards stuck in the previous Century don’t.

“High Speed Low Drag Operators” are hype.

“If you don’t understand what I posted maybe you should go back to being sodomized. That seems more your speed.”

If your weapon is slow to build and expensive, and the weapon that can easily kill it is cheap and plentiful to produce. It’s not going to be a viable weapon, dummy.

Hypersonic vehicles can land on a moving ship.

“Americans will move the earth and the heavens to fix them out of sheer pride at astronomical cost instead of putting the effort into the fight.”

A lot easier to build lots of cheap hypersonic weapons, than to build new carriers.

Each US aircraft carrier is $11 billion each. The oncoming 21st Century weapons that can kill them are relatively cheap.

The McChristian tradcuck concept of "Servant Leader," where "God's Will" for men is to become wifeguy slaves :cuckdad: :cuckdad: :cuckdad: , was invented out of thin air in the Post-WWII Consensus.

Beginning its steep rise during the Reagan and Bush II years.

When I say the fanatics on fedi don't just want me silenced they want me dead I am not kidding.
@judgedread I just kept liking what I liked, but I am a stubborn contrarian grug type. I remember when suddenly, everything I liked was bad (including country, metal, and classical), and they started promoting rap over every other genre. Anything strictly non-White boy, like that faggot spic bad bunny, was pushed hard.

It's crazy that since USAID went offline, rap and spic music doesn't sell for shit or get play here now. I still can't believe people thought a retarded fat negress was the peak of musical genius.
@Honkers Crazy Days and Nights (CDAN) rumor site says Lizzo was a complete fraud and the astroturf cash was shut down some time ago, which is why she vanished.
Same essay, Kulak's most unexpected and fascinating observation:

Cast Study 1: “Everybody hates [insert target here]”

The Canadian/Albertan band Nickelback was maybe the biggest Band in the world in the Mid-2000s. Selling more than 50 million albums at the last moment that was really possible. Getting more airplay than a lot of the most famous bands in history… Quite arguably overplayed… But their blend of rock, grunge, metal, and country was inoffensive in basically any market in the world… and wasn’t preaching anything or really trying to offend sensibilities, generate controversy, or grate on anyone (something you can’t say of most genres).

A Band that should have really kind-of disappeared into the background of world music discussion. It had a mall-dad/sports-bar sensibility.

Indeed the origin point of Alberta… The most “Country Music” part of the world that’s not in America was almost certainly part of it’s appeal. A Sub-urban/Ex-Urban/ Rural cultural nowhere that was a bit too obscure to make people arround the world feel it wasn’t their backyard.

And then it became the most hated band in world history.

“Everyone hates Nickleback”. Famously.

There are dozens and dozens of documentaries and video-essays on this specific case study.

Hatred in a way almost no band before or since has ever gotten. And it wasn’t organic.

Legacy Music Magazines, establishment comedians, primetime comedy shows… The Exact same people you now expect to lie about absolutely EVERYTHING. All spontaneously united and in one unanimous voice declared Nickelback the worst thing ever.

This is really weird. This does not happen.

Usually if a band or actor or other entertainment act is hated, it has either had a series of scandals, the core personality has said something about gays or jews, or it actively cultivated the hate as part of it’s brand… like Insane Clown Posse.

That the industry and media would just suddenly turn on a multi-billion-dollar entertainment property organically out of “taste” or “preference”… is basically unheard of for the same reason we’d never expect all the entertainment magazines and media companies to suddenly all speak out in hatred of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with one voice, or all suddenly decide that liking Taylor Swift made you a fat ugly loser.

These are some of the industry’s biggest ticket items, the revenues for the companies are insane, and rocking that boat too hard is going to get your career torpedoed by corporate who probably has relationships with the property you’re damaging.

Someone had to decide this messaging press was going to happen. That someone had to be pretty high up. They had to have more influence than a multibillion dollar entertainment property.

And as soon as you start thinking that big and that influential you have to think political, or national.

But why Nickelback? They aren’t political?

No they’re not. They were merely inoffensively popular. Indeed they didn’t even really have scandals.

The only thing that was going against them was that they were white men. They were heterosexual. And they were Canadian.

This made them perfect for a Psyop weapons test… A sort-of benchmarking exercise for the amount of media messaging and social control that could be effected against the public’s own revealed natural market preference.

Every band is from somewhere, and if you had targeted say The Dropkick Murphys of Boston, or Jimmy Buffet of Florida, you might have stirred up a big hornet’s nest really fast... People are really attached to their hit local bands. It could have political implications. But all of American media targeting Alberta’s biggest success story? Who cares?

Any potential political fallout is contained.

Indeed, when you put it that way, this is one of the few really big bands or properties of any scale you could ever do this to… Do this to Taylor Swift and it might start a gender war. Do this to Jennifer Lopez or Oprah and it might start a race war. Going after Jimmy Buffet might anger Florida enough to swing a presidential election.

But if you needed to test how much buy-in you could get from a Democratic public for pure compliance, off of messaging alone… how easily you could make them hate white men who had done nothing and were otherwise popular, attractive, and embodied a tough rustic spirit… without being attached to any specific region or location.

Nickelback was the perfect contained test target. They had even avoided politicizing themselves.

Indeed reading the Wikipedia page… The big years for Nickelback hate starting were 2010 to 2013… The exact years that SlutWalk, Anita Sarkeesian, and all the early 2010s 4th wave political correctness culture-war maneuvers were being tested in Toronto.
The Lesser Anglosphere is where the conspiracy A-B tests their latest abominations.
European Christendom practiced arranged marriage, just like the Taliban does today.

That's why kikes like Dario Amodei are busy shredding old books. So that there's no counter-history to their fake feminist version of Medieval History.
