đź‘ľ Artemis I

reporters: NASA’s huge waste of money “exceeded all expectations and all systems functioned perfectly” in completely pointless and unimpressive Earth-Moon L2 Distant Retrograde Halo Orbit mission that wasted a hundred trillion taxpayer dollars

Starship catastrophic launch failure

reporters: SpaceX breaks spaceflight records by not exploding their Starship for four whole minutes, “almost” passes major milestone of stage separation, revolutionizing spaceflight as we know it. “Literally ten times as good as the Saturn V” says experts. Here is our interview with elon musk who did not sponsor this article

Whatever mechanical attachment they use is clearly not strong enough and their workmanship is very shoddy

@AGP_and_ASD holy shit what, that just looks embarrassingly bad, all kinds of shit going on in these images

@winter

it gets worse- keep in mind this is with 6 engines dead on arrival and with the failure of 3 more

@AGP_and_ASD did they even static fire test this booster?

@winter

Yeah and tiles falling off has been an issue consistently- I think they're relying on the stainless construction to keep it together on re-entry

@AGP_and_ASD this problem was solved 40 years ago! How are they this bad?

@winter

it's a deliberate design decision to make them easily replaceable iirc but they really need to work on the strength of those fasteners

Show threadWomen Interface Network  Apr 20, 2023
@AGP_and_ASD đź‘ľ they can have easily replaceable or they can survive re-entry stress

@winter

well, in theory mechanical fasteners can be stronger, in practice however, spacex seems to be using packing tape and bubble gum to hold them on

@winter @AGP_and_ASD what the everloving fuck?! May the ghosts of Columbia's crew and all the others who have died going to space scream at them for eternity. This is a death trap waiting to burn people up.
