@SpaceX @FAANews Elon Musk explains exactly how Space X's Mechazilla can catch the Super Heavy booster.

On Sunday morning, Space X successfully caught a 20+ story tall rocket booster.

@SpaceX @FAANews "designed to catch the largest flying and heaviest flying object ever made and pluck it outta the air."

"So you got a couple hundred tons plummeting at more than half the speed of sound. So this thing is still coming in really fast."
@SpaceX @FAANews One of the smartest humans to ever walk the earth.

RedWave_Press/status/1845504736285368403

Musk: Yeah, so I don't want it to land on the ground, I want you to catch it with massive chopsticks.

Employee: Haha

Musk: No, I'm serious.

Do you think he did this? He’s not an engineer. He hired people who did this

RedeyedJohnny5__1845508492003623167

Why don't you go to the bank, take out a loan, and hire some people to build spaceships?

Including the Twitter deal, SpaceX's "Idiot Index", the manufacturing "algorithm", management style and Big Tech beefs (Bill Gates, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos).

@SpaceX @FAANews I’m equal parts blown away by what @SpaceX accomplished this morning but also with THIS LIVE 4K PRODUCTION the Everyday Astronaut / @considercosmos team produced!

@SpaceX @FAANews @considercosmos

The goal of the test is to get further along than IFT-4 in June, 2024. If all goes well, Starship will re-enter in the Indian Ocean

this will be the first time SpaceX will be attempting to catch the Super Heavy booster with the launch tower!

This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand.

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

NOTE from me

The Democratic veterans in Congress who call out the service members to disobey orders will not be penalized for free speech.

The service members who disobey orders will face consequences and penalties.

That is the difference.

Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Democrats intentionally redacted the name of the "victim" in the Epstein emails they released.

The unreacted version shows that it was Virginia Guiffre.

@CynicalPublius Yes, Google is misinterpreting the rules

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified."

This quote was fed into google.

- Image
I fed in the longer, complete quote

“. . . information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released by any military member, DoW civilian employee or contract employee, even if it is unclassified.”

- still misinterpreted

-Image
Image
@CynicalPublius I believe that Google interprets this from an authoritative perspective. The authority is the mainstream press.

The press is using Google, and Google is parroting their thinking in answer.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.
We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully.
