As even more rockets climb into orbit, 2021 is further cementing that this is only the beginning of the new 'Roaring 20's'

@ApoStructura Sleeping arrangements are going to be vastly improved, lol.

There will be 20 times more usable volume in a single starship HLS than there were in all 6 LEMs that landed on the moon during Apollo combined.

@VickiCocks15 @LabPadre I really hope they recover this Booster. Even if everything states otherwise, lol.

@peterrhague SpaceX looks to have production capability on their side by a very wide margin. I think how quickly Pad 2 in TX is reused will be critical.
Blue has a big advantage with the size of the Mk 1.5 but that seems rather pointless to me.

The clock is ticking. Wonder whose lander will be ready in time?

@yubinoitami1 My wife's previous cat 'Ghost' and our old bearded dragon/honorary cat 'Liz'. Liz would often hang out with Ghost while she was napping. The two of them loved hanging out in the front window together like a pair of grumpy old ladies.

@adlib1867 @ButlersRanger So the choice is bankruptcy for medical bills in the U.S. or the growing number of assisted cost saving medical suicides in Canada? What are they up to now, about 5% of all deaths in Canada?
English
@allcot_j @ButlersRanger 75% of personal bankruptcies in the US are due to medical bills and you’re going to give me a single anectdote from 10 years ago? How many Americans can’t even afford an MRI?
English
Life in Canada is so depressing. I take home 57% of my wage after income tax, before sales taxes and other taxes. I make a wage in roughly the 95th percentile of incomes in my province, and if I don’t want to live in a shoebox, my wife needs to work rather than raise our two little kids.
All to provide lavish benefits to the thousands and thousands of unproductive takers, who vote themselves an ever larger share of a shrinking economic pie.
It’s bleak

@spacebrandonb I REALLY want to be there for a Starship launch someday... hopefully August.

First 33-engine static fire for Super Heavy V3

@peterrhague With a bit of luck, we just might get some idea of whether or not we're going to see more than one Starship launch per day from the same launch mount... in 4 to 6 weeks, lol.

New ground infrastructure, new engines, new booster - looking forward to see how all this performs on the test flight

@ButlersRanger @adlib1867 About 10 years ago I horrified a former Canadian with a YouTube video of people playing with an old MRI machine that was being replaced. Apparently she had to wait several months for an MRI when living in Canada since there weren't many machines. Here it's like 3 to 7 days.

@adlib1867 More likely to die on a waitlist or be encouraged to off myself

@peterrhague @Unixsystem13 GenXer here. Never did the duck and cover bit but I did get to watch 'The Day After' as a class movie in middle school. Duck and cover seemed rather pointless after that when living in the suburbs outside of NY city.

As I understand boomers and X-ers were told to do this as kids in case of nuclear attack, but weren’t explicitly told “if you are close to the bomb you’ll just die and it won’t matter” by teachers, and misinterpreted that polite omission as an assertion their wooden desk would stop a nuclear blast.
English
Nuclear weapons are scary enough without having to make stuff up:
* Duck and cover is not pointless. If you’ve time to react then flying glass/collapsing buildings when the shockwave hits is your biggest immediate danger. A sturdy school desk will definitely help.
* Neither the Tsar Bomba nor Castle Bravo were deployable weapons. Modern nukes tend to be several orders of magnitude smaller than these test weapons, because the strategy is to pack multiple warheads per missile to make interception harder (MIRV)
It’s important to get facts right here.
Camus@newstart_2024
“One or two modern nuclear devices and Los Angeles is simply no more.” Eric Weinstein painted a sobering picture on Triggernometry. He explained that today’s hydrogen bombs are orders of magnitude more powerful than the ones that ended WWII. The Tsar Bomba and Castle Bravo showed we were already playing with forces we couldn’t fully control. A concentrated city hit by even one or two devices becomes instantly uninhabitable. The long-term effects (radiation, fallout, societal collapse) make “surviving” the war feel almost meaningless. Weinstein’s blunt takeaway: once it starts, everything we know about modern life is gone — whether from nuclear exchange or even a engineered pandemic. How close do you think we actually are to a nuclear or engineered pandemic scenario that changes everything?
English
@peterrhague @Lusavitch I believe that the Soviets had 35,000-ish nukes and the U.S. something like 25,000 to 30,000. Each primary target had between 10 and 20 ~ten megaton nukes aimed at it from what I read.
Each is in the area of 5,000 or so now, I believe. Still crazy numbers.

@Lusavitch Threads depicted a mass exchange at the peak of the Cold War when arsenals were huge. Its the total end-of-the-world scenario. I think it would be easier to recover from an exchange now - but still horrific.

The full stack launch is going to be absolutely and insanely incredible.

How many Raptor 3s do you think lit up?

Booster 19 has been static fired for the second time! This one is much, much more powerful than the last!

@ewarren You are a liar and a thief as well as a supporter of thieves. You are among the last people who should be trying to increase any taxes on anybody.
Shut up about taxes and fix the fraud.

A Boston public school teacher is paying a higher tax rate than Jeff Bezos is today.
That's flat-out wrong.
My Wealth Tax for ultra-millionaires and billionaires will finally right the wrongs of our tax code so that the rich pay their fair share.

@_MaxQ_ @NASASpaceflight I suspect that there's going to be 8 of these (or the equivalent) by Roberts Road in roughly a decades time. I can hardly wait to see them start the new Starfactory over there.

@MarcusHouse That first Starship V3 launch is going to be insanely incredible.
English
WOW! There is some monster power behind that. A short static fire but check out the plume blast out of the trench. That is insane!

Starship Flight 12: Booster 19 STATIC FIRE! Looks like the full 33 Raptor 3s, another first. Wait for SpaceX to confirm good test. Short (potentially intended) firing, but wow! Live here on X and YT: youtube.com/live/sJOsivvVL…

@peterrhague At this point, it seems that getting accurate figures for either case is impossible. Without that, I can't see putting much energy into the debate. As you said, no significant long-term damage. At least not directly. For indirect damage likely, likely doesn't matter which agent.
English
I don’t believe either COVID or the vaccines to it have done significant long term damage to the majority of the population. I am aware this pisses off a huge number of people here, but I just don’t see strong evidence for either case.

@CoachDanGo 58 here. I've had a sword tattoo design for my upper arm in my head for close to 40 years... The combination of extra cash and the right circumstances, including remembering about have yet to happen, lol.

Anyone else make it to their 40s without getting a tattoo?

A recent study found that people with tattoos face a roughly 29% higher risk of getting skin cancer.
