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 fingers crossed for bottle rocket
@sundogplanets As much as I love the Falcon 9 workhorse, SpaceX's persistence with Musk's vanity projects and Starlink littering the sky has really killed the enjoyment.
@sundogplanets If musk is launching, I expect explosion.
@sundogplanets same here 😞
Also, isn't that this flight where they will carry 20 Starlink new generation satellites, deploy them for something like 20 minutes to see if that works and then decommission them?
@lolopb And yeah "decommission" = turn them into weird metal-and-plastic vapour in the stratosphere and maybe drop a few pieces on the ground for good measure
@sundogplanets @Spacecom this, 100%.
Musk is self interested and cares only about destroying things here so his mars vision can happen sooner…
