Looks like a hit job instead of a critique

Someone who fancies himself as a "common sense skeptic"

This isn't even an attempt at a fair criticsm of Starship. So, I'm guessing that this is being published so as to drive some sort of attempt to stop the Starship program.

All of this because Musk bought Twitter. These people.

Musk is running the most prolificly run space program the world has ever seen, and this guy thinks he can be persuasive? It's true, the most recent Starship launch was not 100% successful, but he talks like it is a complete failure, and should be stopped. If this program is stopped, what will replace it???? There's nobody even close to what Musk is doing. What an ass clown.

To compare it with SLS is even more of a joke. Yes, the SLS had a fairly successful launch. But look how much that program has spent. It has spent tens of billions of dollars for ONE launch. It won't launch again this year. This "common sense skeptic" ought to go soak his head.

He said if NASA had blown up as many ships as SpaceX, they'd had lost funding for sure. Yep. They sure would have. But SpaceX isn't paying as much per launch as NASA does. Each NASA launch of an SLS is going to cost a billion dollars or more. All you get is ONE launch. But SpaceX is creating a system that produce these rockets for much, much less. Each lost ship isn't coming out of the taxpayers pocket. SpaceX is funding this research. If NASA cuts it off, it won't stop.

SpaceX almost has it capable of putting stuff into orbit. If he does that, the Starship will be on a self-paying basis. That's far more than anybody else can say at this point. It is after all a private company. NASA is government funded operation. They can waste taxpayer money without consequence. To say the same about SpaceX is absolutely ridiculous.

Ostrich, anyone?

As big as it is, I was wondering how many showed up for dinner. Not that many, but they were well-fed.

Time of universal deceit

The signs may not have been "truth", but calling it "hate speech" isn't truth either. ( They certainly don't sell it that cheap!)

Someone just put up these signs at the Colorado Capitol. Check it out. https://t.co/RvYJ0A20ic via @Not_the_Bee Comment: This is claimed to be hate speech.

No accountability: "Soviet level dysfunction"

Quote:

Nobody ever gets held to public account, and systems never get fixed, because that threatens too many people’s rice bowls. This is what a dysfunctional organization — or civilization — looks like. Plus: “This is Soviet level dysfunction.”

Comment:



Let's keep believing in that left-right-center Marxist paradigm, and we'll find that utopia some day.

Private calling using the Linphone app and a voip system

This provides extra privacy, but the real benefit is when your contact is using the system too. Otherwise, you could still use it for regular calls. There'd have to be a different motivation for using it, because additional privacy isn't one of them. ( I could think of one, it's cheap)



Be sure to watch the whole video, and if need be, watch it a second time if there's something you don't understand. ( which is possible, so don't feel bad, cuz I watched it twice)

Orwellian 1984 quote

This will be posted in order to comment upon the phenomenon of refusing to think for oneself, thereby checking one's brain in at the door.



So this is supporting democracy?



Democracy requires the opposite. That's why the 1984 quote is included from the article linked below.

We never knew that Ronna McRomney was so eeeeeevil

Leftism is a religion. A religion of narcissists, or so it appears. They celebrate themselves as the all-knowing, all-seeing, and all-powerful. All power to the Soviet! ( Two can play that game)
