I always love this meme. The way that dude is simultaneously smiling, hitting weed, and in an action stance in case shit comes his way just makes me laugh.

I always assumed it was meth instead of weed. I'm not a meth-smoking expert though.

Nah, meth is usually smoked with a bowl pipe. It liquefies and boils when heated, so you need a bowl that will hold it once it liquefies.

And if it’s a straight glass pipe instead of a bowl, that’s for crack. You shove some steel wool into it to act as a filter, then pack the crack in front of the steel wool. Because otherwise, sucking on the pipe would just suck the unlit crack straight through the pipe.

How much money could Trump save the US government by cancelling starship funding? All its achieved is exploding on a suborbital trajectory.

How much money could Trump save the US government by cancelling starship funding

Some people are saying "Billions and billions"?

It would save the government some upfront money and then result in losses in the hundreds of billions as others can't come close to the cost to orbit that Starship can.

There's nothing being designed today by anyone that would compete with it if successful.

Falcon 9 as it is saves the government billions of dollars.

Starship is the one that has never made it to orbit and keeps exploding

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

For all intents and purposes, starship has made it to orbit a few times. They purposely kept it sub orbital by cutting the engines off a few seconds early so it would re-enter the atmosphere where and as planned for their tests.

You wouldn't want a ship designed to survive re-entry to fail, and make landfall over a major city, but they have landed it as planned in the ocean in a controlled manner a couple times.

(Edit: also the last 3 launches have been the V2 ship. It's substantially different than the V1s they did land in the ocean and is having some growing pains)

In the time SpaceX has designed, launched, landed, and reused two orbital boosters, no one else has done it once.
