nancyworld.bsky.social•8 days ago

Wait, "by design, the debris fell into the Indian Ocean..."?

How do you aim the debris if you don't know when you'll have a propellant leak and start tumbling? Maybe they can still aim it?

reply

m-p-t.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, they can still aim it. Rather than launch into a circular orbit which could decay gradually and/or leave debris in space, all of the Starship launches so far have used an elliptical orbit that intersects the earth in the southern Indian Ocean.

There was a time when Elon posted his failures and was proud of them. Failure is instructive he said. At the time it was a valid point. However at this point he's clearly not learning, and repeating the same failures without improvement. That's just incompetence.

reply

bracing.bsky.social•7 days ago

“mixed” is the usual NYT-Newspeak.

“Disastrous” is the correct word.

Remember when Republicans believed in the US government improving everyone’s lives and advancing learning and science? I do. It was before # SaintReaganTM and his help-billionaires Gospel.
