I'm a moron. I've been trying for hours to wrap my head around going only 20 km but somehow stay aloft for 1-2 months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - JD Sep 28, 20:34 2
- I read it in a similar way. I thought they were going to go 20km into the sky and then just fly for a month or two. *shrug* -- nm - Krusty Sep 29, 05:03
- I can see how confusing that would be. And how that could be confusing. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 20:40
They gonna riiiiddddddeeee, ride the tiger! -- nm - zunk xometimes Sep 28, 20:19 1
- A full stack Starship will have twice the thrust of a Saturn V rocket. -- nm - TWuG Sep 28, 20:22
no time is a good time for goodbyes -- nm - Tim Sep 28, 19:29
Nothing's gonna stop them now. -- nm - Reagen Sep 28, 19:28
the orbiting Tesla needs servicing -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 28, 19:27
Ceramic hexagonal tile heat shield. Steel construction. I've got a bad feeling about this, unfortunately. Hopefully they can prove me wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 18:55 5
- The 301 stainless steel is apparently a very resilient material at high and low temps. - TWuG Sep 28, 19:53 2
  - Yeah, but I can't shake the bad feeling. I hope it works exactly as well as they say. And orbital refueling looks awesome. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 20:06 1
    - It won't matter for that next test -- nm - JD Sep 28, 20:38
- "It slightly reminds me of the scene from Spaceballs" heheh -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 19:00 1
  - If it doesn't have a "We Brake For Nobody" bumper sticker on it somewhere, Musk will lose some nerd cred -- nm - TWuG Sep 28, 19:55
Worst version of Jefferson Starship. -- nm - Spawn Sep 28, 18:50
free rides to Jorma, Jack & Grace :) -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 28, 18:45 2
- Yes, except Jorma never played for Starship or Jefferson Starship (according to wikipedia) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 18:52 1
  - they are the only living members of JA. without them there is no starship. -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 28, 18:59
Musk is still terrible at public speaking. Inspires me to try it some time. 😂 -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 18:41 2
- I'd put him somewhere on the autism spectrum. -- nm - TWuG Sep 28, 20:23 1
  - Maybe. I don't think that has anything to do with his public speaking style, though. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 20:27
