SpaceX's Starship megarocket blasted off on its latest test flight, with President-elect Donald Trump joining Elon Musk to witness the spectacle firsthand in the latest sign of their ever-closer ties.
I’m a huge space fan/nerd, but LHC is far more impressive if you consider it to be of our generation. Even if not, ITER takes the spot, IMO (although I admit some personal bias when it comes to ITER).
ITER seems interesting to me. What gets you excited about ITER? Seems to me that their operational timeline is so far in the future, and the outcomes are unknown. As an engineering artifact, I understand its boner factor. From a broader human achievement standpoint, I can’t really see what all the buzz is about. I want to learn and try to understand.
