I used to be excited about rocket launches. Fuck you, SpaceX, for taking that away from me by destroying the sky, the atmosphere, and dropping shit on me because of your terrible safety and nonexistent environmental practices. https://flipboard.com/@spacecom/spacex-6lea8r50z/-/a-uqOOTanZQHe-8X_AdQQaMw%3Aa%3A1693190246-%2F0

@sundogplanets I have many reasons to hate Elon Musk, and this is up there with the best of them.
@sundogplanets Tbf all rockets are an ecological disaster one way or another no matter who does it. All those Shuttle boosters did not just naturally break up or be used to form coral reefs, they're either breaking up slowly in the seas or forming an impenetrable layer of space trash encircling earth.
@sundogplanets Yes but think of how much fun it will be when it explodes on the pad like a supernova and then we get to switch from the livestream to the stock tracker and watch their IPO stock become junk at the same time. 😂

@sundogplanets not sure how planning to once again fail to get starship to orbit and send some new starlink satellites to maybe burn up on immediate reentry is going to help them fulfil the contract they signed with NASA to land astronauts on the moon in Q1 FY2025. But hey, if Musk wants to keep burning hundreds of millions of dollars a try, at least this time we’ll get to see how much lower the stonk price can crash when their shareholders see their spacecraft crash into the ocean.
@sundogplanets don't hold back tell us what you really think dude
@sundogplanets totally get you that E.M. ruined space travel for you:(
I personally didn't like rockets from the beginning I guess
@sundogplanets FWIW, Paris Marx's four part "Tech Won't Save Us" podcast on Musk is worth a listen.
I see it now, I say, "Sky-rapist didn't explode this time."
@sundogplanets I wish I didn't relate to this post so strongly.
@sundogplanets Same here. Even looking at the stars feels less sublime, and is tainted by sadness and guilt.
@sundogplanets less-than-30-year-old-me would be SO CONFUSED at the expression I make when I get an email with a subject of, "We think you you'd be a great match to work at SpaceX!"
@sundogplanets We will always have ESA to continue enjoying

@sundogplanets 💯 It is infuriating that space exploration is tied to this Nazi owned company. Not going to watch this, unless it explodes catastrophically, then I'll watch clips.
