SpaceX conducted another successful Starship launch test yesterday evening.

You can watch the full, 1:40:00 footage here:

Invidious YouTube

I'd recommend watching it, it's a well-done video documentary, not too long, with good views.

i'm not a fan of musk at all; however this is in the technology community because it's a good technological breakthrough.

    And, it shouldn't need to be said, Elon Musk has exactly zero to do with this other than paying.

    This is a conversation between engineers and physics.

    Exactly zero except he's the owner and supporting spaceX directly contributes to his bank account.

    No thanks

    Supporting SpaceX financially contributes to his bank account, posting on social media does nothing.

    The engineers that did this are great, I don't care about Elon Musk... I'll choose a different space company to launch my satellites.

    You understand NASA has always been capitalist oriented right? The point is to outsource to support the people like Elon. Now if you worked for ESA, the CSA, JAXA, ect... You would be working for the people.

    Fuck Elon, but fuck capitalism in general. I think SpaceX should be taken over by NASA and shit be done in house but that's not the world we live in unfortunately.

    Ok, then what is nasa's stock value or its annual growth? Ill save you time, it doesnt have that because its not a capitalist organization and has never has been. Its a government branch. Go back to civics class.

    Public private partnerships are a thing, this is what government agencies use to forward capitalist ideas.

    Thank you providing my point, public. Not tax payer funded r&d that becomes IP for a nazi pedo.

    In alot of 3p situations when technology is developed the private company gets the IP while the government just gets a license.
