"Unbelievable" plane

Not the deltoid pumpkinseed. P.S.: I thought it might, but it doesn't really compare.

This is supposed to be much more efficiently operated plane that can change its economics.

Flight 13 of Starship

Looks really good. The Starship itself did not blow up when it made a soft landing in the Indian Ocean off Australia. However, the booster looks like it came in a bit too hot.

One more test flight of the booster should get the rest of the issues corrected. The Ship got a good relight, so the next flight should see a once around for the ship, meaning an orbital flight is likely on the schedule.

Too early to say too much about the next flight, but things are getting pretty interesting.

Update a few hours later:

Thanks to this video, it can be seen what likely went wrong, but not necessarily why. A narrator said that 13 engines would fire up at the last part of the descent of the booster. That didn't happen. Instead, several engines did not fire up, with at least 4 that didn't relight at all. One relit, but went out immediately. That leaves about 8 that did relight and stay that way. This may explain why it came down too hard and too fast. One more thing:More engines went out right at the end.

Next day:Doesn't it seem to be in the same area of the booster which didn't light up on July 16th launch abort? 4 engines didn't light up on that day, and it looks like a couple of the same engines failed to light up on the final approach after launching on the 24th.

Compare this with the Urbee

If more people understood what was at stake, Trump's approval numbers would go through the roof. As it stands, neither the Democrats nor their willing accomplices in the media, are doing Americans any favors.

Kokinda video seen at CTH

Yours truly has always been opposed to large trade deficits. If other countries fight to keep it, it stands to reason that they're gaining something from it.

Milton Friedman was all for the "free trade" of the English system. It is in his book "Free to Choose". In that same book, he wrote that even if America produced nothing but greenbacks to give in exchange for goods from overseas, that this would be "wonderful" for us. I think Friedman was nuts to write something like that. If America no longer made things, then we would be at a great disadvantage.

So I'm all for what Trump is doing here. Not so sure that the Democrats nor some Republicans know what the hell they're doing.
