    Speaking as a layman, I just think it’s fuckin’ awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.

    Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin’ land where they started seven or eight minutes later.

    Science is fuckin mint, man.

      Don’t quote me on this, but I’ve heard SpaceX itself is pretty good at keeping Musk away from the actually important things. Something about having a team dedicated to keeping him distracted.

        Imagine getting a job at SpaceX thinking you’re gonna build a moon base and you get put on ‘Elon distraction’ 😭
