Vibration testing is a thing, you know.. I actually do a lot of work with it so..

also, to test the software you don't need to launch the rocket, so I'm not sure why you even mention that..

It's not even about putting the life of the pilots at risk - it's about cost. It's starting to look like the lack of flame diverter was a huge mistake that will cost a lot of money…

If they don't have the launchpad designed to not cause all of these issues, why do you think the rest is designed correctly?

Have you heard of instances where airplanes failed due to something as basic as a nut or a screw not meeting the required specifications? It's difficult to trust the reliability of…

But you still need to do it for something like a rocket that is supposed to carry people in the future. In to long term, it's better to evaluate reliability of every component at t…

There was a lot of wrong with the launch from the start - failed engines, destroyed pad, parts of the rocket flying off during the start. Yes, it's amazing that it went for as far …

Yeah, that's why you engineer, and test before trying to launch something like that. There won't be any other attempt this year - I can bet my lunch money on this.

If there are 5 more of these being built, how they will incorporate anything they learned during this failed attempt? Isn't that just a waste of money?

Oh, so it's not my poor motor skills, and fat fingers - it's the controller.

Try explaining to your wife that this ugly lamp that uses a regular bulb will be better for us in a long term :)

I wonder how much of this attack on "AI" is directed by China. Slowing down AI development in the western world until they can catch up seems like a big win for China.

LED lights are unfortunately a big marketing scam. Remember when they promised that the will last up to 20 years? Well, when I renovated my house 5 years ago I installed LED lights…

I'm not sure if there really is any difference between milking the taxpayers by SpaceX or Boeing/ULA/NG/AR.
