I know every tech bro will squeak like a seal now, but just to keep things in perspective, on: - 6'th flight Saturn V took man to the Moon 55y ago - but but it wasn't reusable! - 6'th flight space shuttle took a crew of 4 on a 5d mission, landed safely in Edwards base 41y ago

Fun fact, SpaceX already dropped to the bottom of the ocean almost 3x as many raptor engines as all the F1 engines that were ever flown in the entire Apollo program. Savings add up. 🤡

I understand people getting excited by SpaceX, I really do. Rocketry is extreme engineering, not doubt. But SpaceX isn't perfect and when people try to whitewash their screwups by dunking on Apollo project that really pisses me off. Apollo was an engineering miracle for its time.

When will @bsky.app add polls? While I regard any vote with more than one choice as an imperialist plot to give Russians degenerate western ideas, I’m curious
