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 Musk has another package for his supporters 😄
@sundogplanets I agree 100%. I try to tell people that I'm worried one of Space Hitler's giant space wnags will eventually endanger the Houston area, or any of the large cities around the gulf, but none will listen.
@sundogplanets We have a family friend who flew 3 STS missions back in the 90s - neither they, or any of their cohort will watch the space x launches for fear of witnessing another STS-51-L (needless to say, they wouldn't fly in the gear either, and apparently this isn't an uncommon attitude....)
Elon makes the wrong stuff.
@sundogplanets I was quite excited for NASA, ESA and even Chinese and Indian launches, but all the SpaceX launches are just bitter tasting because of the idiot owning it and how they are all cheering when rockets explode while they are pissing away tax payer money with very little regard and the stock exchange shenanigans. This is not space exploration, this is money milking machine.
@sundogplanets excellently put💯
i'm worried how much worse it's going to get w/ China & others ramping up there satellite space race, many of whom seem to have the same nihilistic "money & power over all" mentality as the worst people among humanity, who also happen to be players in space technology
why is it always the space "race", when we would all benefit, if we could just share?
but no, some nations, some men, think they should get it all
@sundogplanets Well hear is a reason to be FUCKIN petrified about the launches . The Mirrors that are planed for low earth orbit are designed to Heat the earth while the Sun is not shining , they will be aimed at the oceans , they will be aimed at the ice at the poles . These people want the earth for there self . They want to kill billions of people ,they are delusional fucked up halfwits that think the will survive after every thing is gone .
I am not a Doctor , I do Not have a PHD so why the fuck do I need to explain this too , well
Wake up and see what's happening ,
🥵 😡 🥂
I'm expecting to see a really big explosion..
The fire and brimstone level at least 😂
"Here's what to expect."
Rapid unscheduled disassembly? It's rapid unscheduled disassembly, isn't it?
@sundogplanets Tech bros really seem intent to take as much away from us as possible
@sundogplanets idk what the article says to expect but I expect it to explode
@sundogplanets They're raiding everyone's 401ks too. They're now listed on the NASDAQ and index funds automatically invest in them. Elon bankrupted all his companies because he's an idiot and a Nazi nobody wants to be associated with and needs money IMMEDIATELY. When everyone is bled dry, he'll lecture everyone about how they should just be more hardcore and figure out a way to make back all the money he stole.
@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. 😂
$SPCX #ngmi #memestock
@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.
@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…
