Scientia Plus: Starship lost
7:48 PM CDT
Here's another video by Scott Manley, who breaks it down a bit further. Not too much to add, except for the attitude of the Starship was not maintained. Something may have failed as it was coming down through the atmosphere. Even if the tiles held up well, it wasn't going to stay together coming down like that.
end update, the original post follows:
Debris comes off the Starship at the part of the video where it is started in the replay. I saw that in real time, and it was no surprise when the ship broke up. Upon replay, it isn't entirely conclusive that it is the heat tiles, but what else could it have been? The ship may have broken up when it hit the dense part of the atmosphere as it came in for the splashdown.
As for the booster, it seemed to be coming down pretty hot. The engines lit up, but it didn't seem to be enough of them, or they were lit up too late, and the vehicle appears to have hit the water at high speed. Maybe close to supersonic speed. There was a picture right up to the end. If there was anything else significant, I couldn't tell at this point. Note: it was about 6 and 7 minutes into the video, so by the time the above was cuing up, the booster had already crashed.

Lots of ignorant people in the world
Just watched the Starship launch, and saw some ignorant comments about Musk's "failure". There's a lot of talk about "Democracy" and "equality", but there's a downside to that. The downside is that ignorant people also get a say about how things are to proceed. Unfortunately, a good portion of the population are ignorant dumbasses, and it shows in their comments. Anyway, congrats to Spacex for their achievements, and a downward pointing thumb for the critics. That is all.

Looming Dystopia
There seems to be a lot of this sentiment out there. Doesn't matter which side of the aisle you favor. There is this persistent feeling that things are just not right, and are heading in the wrong direction.

Reviews of the SOTU speechification
3/13/24:
No bump in the polls for Corn Poop.
the last update of 3/11/24 follows below:
3/11/24:
Corn Popped apologizes for using the term "illegal" in reference to illegal aliens.Progressives
Commies complained rather loudly, so he had to do something. Cannot afford to rile up his benefactors in Red China.
The commies are all for "rule of law", doncha know? But wait, the term "illegal alien" is in the US Code. How do they explain this?
The most recent update of 3/10/24 follows directly below:
3/10/24:
Obviously, I didn't watch the speech. I've watched excerpts of it. There seems to be a consensus that he yelled a lot. Also, that it was partisan.
There's not much good that can come from an Administration that takes the side of terrorists, and makes terrorists a protected class, as he is doing with regard to the terrorist attack in Israel last October.
The issue of his age is a false issue. Of course he is too old, but that's not his biggest problem. His biggest problem is that he is a very bad man, and a very bad president. No speech is going to turn that around.
end update, the last update of 3/9/24 starts below:

The word "speechification" is no typo. The word comes from a heestwa book from Texas in the Republic of Texas days. Speeches were called "stump speechification". Maybe they talked funny in those days. Not to worry, they talk funny these days too.
end update, the original post of 3/8/24 follows directly below:

There's a cartoon there that portrays Biden as Grandpa Simpson of the TV cartoon yelling at the public.
The Hill
Comment: It was a partisan speech, no doubt. The Democrats have a problem. The more he sounds like he can do the job, the harder it will be to justfy replacing him. On the other hand, he doesn't have that good of a record to run on. So they are worried, and rightly so.

Wait, you mean shouting uncontrollably and mocking voter concerns wasn’t actually the best speech in presidential history? pic.twitter.com/hhAKmUrvP3

The term "illegal alien" can literally be found in sections of the US Code.https://t.co/JRV1kkLgQj pic.twitter.com/BRT3CmcVik

Biden’s speech wasn’t about giving a positive view or anything. It was just a “I still got it” act. Trying to convince his base that he’s not a decrepit old fart. https://t.co/m234QV1hjp

Democrats "seething" at Hur testimony
Democrats Are Seething After Robert Hur's Testimony, and the Highlights Are Brutal for Joe Biden https://t.co/kvVYh6JDFk Comment: Bongino says on his video that Hur's appointment was an Obama operation. That means that it is Democrat infighting, and not a GOP op.

Julie Kelly: An effort to influence SCOTUS to rule in their favor regarding Trump's legal cases
Joe Biden, D.C. Judges Pressure SCOTUS on J6 https://t.co/KEb8pEb12Y Comment: Why did these shown here even bother to show up? Article here says there's pressure on SCOTUS to bend to Biden's will. Does this worry have a basis? Or the judges here in denial of the attempt?
