Aaaaaaaaaargh. Gods, I detest that gobshite more every day.

You, you shitbag. You are the bloody reason you have this obsession with colonising Mars, because it's people like *you*, Melon Husk, that are fucking up the one planet that's habitable in the solar system!

(I have a headache).

It's ok because the US gave musk 10b of tax payers money to do this, isn't capitalism great? I mean isn't capitalism going to end all life on earth?

larryskorke.bsky.social•205 days ago

how did all this Stuff get into the water anyway? The linked blog post by Roesch indicates a lot of the metal contaminants would be coming out of steels, which makes sense, but I don't understand how that would happen. Did they screw up in a different way and melt the rocket nozzle or something?

andrewpaul.bsky.social•205 days ago

very good questions beyond my expertise -- however the detail i keep pointing out for this stuff is that Starship blasts a 25-foot-deep crater in its launch pad at liftoff.

so imagine all those vaporized particulates in the air/water

joelegloff.bsky.social•205 days ago

That was only the case with the first launch. No craters since they installed the steel plates/deluge system.

larryskorke.bsky.social•205 days ago

well the basin underneath that got torn up is (was, LOL) concrete though right? That might explain the mercury, from the cement fly ash perhaps

larryskorke.bsky.social•205 days ago

ok looking at your article from the first launch in 2023, they scoured the launch scaffold pretty bad and it looks like there's some exposed rebar in the groundworks underneath, those make more sense as the metals source than the rocket itself maybe

Texas wanted him and now they have him. He is disgraceful.

andrewpaul.bsky.social•205 days ago

there is an entire Case Study here of how news stories are disseminated online after media industry collapse, billionaire scheming, and the nonexistence of journalistic 'objectivity.'

i will pursue that another day

guessing we'll see him around Austin substantially less now

Musk constantly sends his rockets up punching holes in our atmosphere that he calls test rockets that fail to land and calls them successful! 😡

Happy to - EM's irresponsible approach to spaceflight threatens more worthy efforts to explore space. Keep up the good work!

“CNBC sucks” - the richest man on the planet

I heard rumblings about this on Twitter many times when the website worked properly and also about them letting shrapnel and debris from their takeoffs land in residential areas. I hope Elon gets crushed to death by space junk

cynthiastach.bsky.social•204 days ago

His rockets also constantly punches holes in our atmosphere! He sends so many rockets up, states when they fail to land they’re just test rockets and successful. Then sends more! Read it’s hurtful to atmosphere!

fito-telmata.bsky.social•204 days ago

Don't we all wish our teachers treated tests like that XD

jaytingle.bsky.social•143 days ago

Well, color me surprised.

islandgardener.bsky.social•205 days ago

Here’s an idea. Shut them down and suspend all federal government subsidies until they clean up their act and let Elon know he’s on the hook for any criminal liabilities. Stop babying this dickhead.

How does the Chevron decision impact the EPA's ability to enforce rules?

chadmbriggs.bsky.social•205 days ago

I give it a week:

Oh great, here comes another lawsuit that will cripple the EPA courtesy of the god-awful chevron ruling.
