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 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.
@sundogplanets Here's what to expect: 💥
@sundogplanets
Ugh.... more space junk. And while I'm at it, I can't stand his launch narrators and their Space X speak
@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.
