Everyone thought the future was carbon fiber
Elon Musk looked at the physics and chose stainless steel for Starship instead
Sounds insane.... until you realize stainless gets stronger at cryogenic temperatures, handles reentry heat better, and costs massively less than advanced composites. It doesn't even need paint
He chose a material that is faster to build, easier to weld, tougher in extreme conditions, and built for rapid iteration
Classic Elon: ignore convention, trust first-principles engineering, and pick the solution everyone else missed
He is taking science fiction and making it real. Building things that only existed in imagination, and pushing them to the absolute limits of physics

@Hot_Pepper76 Kinda cray how all these ppl had parents in military intelligence

Born January 19, 1949, in Batley, Yorkshire, England, he spent much of his childhood in Malta, where his father worked in British naval intelligence. Exposed to American jazz, blues, and R&B on the radio, he developed a deep love for music.
He wasn’t a born, frontman type, shy as a kid, friends and family were surprised when he wanted to sing up front. Early on, he performed with local bands and gradually moved into professional work, from small groups to session singing, before being noticed by Island Records and launching a solo career.
He had a secret passion for graphic design, art, and building model trucks, which many fans never knew about. During his career, he lived in New York City, the Bahamas, and Switzerland, never became a U.S. citizen, and stayed mostly private despite a glamorous public image.
He won two Grammy Awards for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. His son even collaborated with him on his final album, showing that musical talent ran in the family.
He was married twice and had two children. Despite iconic music videos and a polished style, he preferred a quiet life, enjoyed fine wine, and avoided the typical rock, n, roll party scene, though he was a heavy smoker.
He died suddenly at 54 from a heart attack in Paris, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable hits, innovative videos, and style that defined an era.
Guess who this legendary British singer is!

After watching thousands of hours of Joe Rogan I've found what might be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. 👀
Bare in mind that this is the same guy that also planforms Jimmy Corsetti, the undisputed #1 pseudo-history guy.

@MrPitbull07 Working on my bike and car are my therapy too, fixing stuff is my happy place, magic paint job too!!
English

“My husband just finished this paint job and he made me promise to share it because the people he showed it to ignored him or brushed it off.
Here's why this matters. Seven years of severe depression where I watched the man I married disappear completely. Couldn't get out of bed most days, lost his job, stopped talking to our kids. Last year his therapist said find something to work with your hands, so he bought this beat up 1967 Beetle with money his dad left him and I thought he'd wasted it on junk.
But he started working on it every single day in our garage. Some days all he did was sand one panel, but he kept showing up. And slowly he started coming back to us. Started smiling again. This paint job took three months. He learned from tutorials and some car groups who actually encouraged him, bought his custom paint from a maker in a shop who spent an hour teaching him technique over the phone.
When he showed his friends and family, they left him on read. Just didn't respond at all. So he asked me to post it here because maybe strangers would understand what this actually means better than people who've known him forever.
This car saved my husband's life. It's proof that broken things can be beautiful again if you just keep working. And the man I married is finally back.”
