Out of morbid curiosity I went into the comment section for some insta posts about this. It’s just full of worship for Musk, and complete disregard for the actual engineers & Shotwell.
lol, how is the audio annoying? Those are literally the engineers who worked on this, one of the most difficult engineering problems in human history, having nailed it on their first try.
If you want pure rocket audio, look into cosmic perspective after a few weeks.
It also proves the importance of progressive integration tests even if they’re destructive. The amount you can learn by actually putting everything together is just fundamentally necessary to make sure these complex systems work.
What would you qualify? My mind goes to fusion, and the moon landings. And this is quite a bit more complicated than Apollo. (Though we have better tools nowadays)
Muskyness aside; it is pretty impressive to watch, almost looks like the footage has been reversed.
Audio is really annoying.

This thread has been far more pleasant.
Musk just owns the company, which sucks. There are clearly a lot of very talented people there who do actually work while Musk is in his K-hole.

Their first try?
The first time they tried to catch with the chopsticks, it workes without blowing up the whole launchpad.
When they did this with the Falcon 9, it took several flights to get a landing without significant damage to the drone ship, the booster, or both.
Pretty impressive that they got it to work right out of the gate with the Super Heavy Booster

Well, this time around, even though a different mechanism was used, they had all the Falcon experience to draw from, which shortens development.
Never been attempted before.
You know when you try, and try and try and try and fail every time…
But then you scratch your left tit and try again and you finally make it?
You made it first try after scratching your tit!
This made me laugh.

Oh my god
Starship is aiming to have the same payload capacity while being fully reusable. Seems like adding that constraint makes it harder.
Sure, now do it with only paper and protractors.
Yeah, that’s why I said we have better tools nowadays.
Makes it easier, doesn’t it.
Love the game, hate the player.
Well no dispite musk since he’s well publicized to be a hinderence aide from the money he provides.
Could you link a source? I just want to believe this; I’ve never actually seen evidence of it.
