Progress leaves behind those incapable of keeping up. You either accept that, or struggle against it until you have so many incapable of keeping up accumulated on your back that your cities start burning.
You can tell pretty quickly who lacks any sense of history or context around here the way people are hyperventilating and overreacting. Good link, and of course, not the only example of race rioting in the past 60 years. Far from it.
There's a lot of weird technology that's suited to space and not earth, and vice versa. The shuttle had the equivalent of an intel 386 on it as I recall - powerful enough to run the systems, but chunky and old and tested enough that the transistors in the IC, onboard cache, RAM are sufficiently massive to not be easily flipped by stray cosmic rays passing by. Which we don't have to contend with on earth.. or at least at the magnitude of this threat outside the van-allen belts. The newer tech has to be shielded really well or it will fail for that reason.. tiny transistors will flip states at the slightest provocation.
Circuit boards that run hot and are based on regular solder formulations will also 'spike' really badly in zero-g, basically shortening the life of the equipment. Softened lead/tin floats around really easy and bridges to nearby pads on the board, shorting things out. And the newer equipment packs these much closer together, like transistors on the chips they mount. So are more susceptible to failing in space.
The adage of the soviet-era tanks that fielded valves and so were naturally EMP resilient compared to the US tanks of similar vintage that had ICs that shorted out in a nuke pulse is instructive.. sometimes the older stuff works better for entirely unanticipated reasons.
With that said, loving the future-looking tech that Elon is trying very hard to bring to a useful form of reliability and function. It cant be easy seeing your pricey prototypes go boom, get excoriated on the social media, and dust yourself off and do it again. Tough like Trump is in a way, not giving up.
It's not just about technology. In fact, it's more about budget and political will. The technology from Apollo is packed into modern cars and other consumer electronics, thus making your life infinitely breezy. Your modern car has more processing power than an Apollo Rocket and only because Apollo existed.
The tech progressed, but the machining to build more Saturn V's degraded. Plants no longer contracted for parts retooled for other projects.
Eventually restarting requires restarting from the beginning. There was barely a reason to build more Saturn V's at the end ... Ten to twenty years later even if interest had returned it wouldn't have returned enough to justify the cost of the rocket AND redoing all the upfront costs as well.
And hell, if you're starting from scratch you might as well use modern technology and not the 1960's plans. Which is what was floated plenty of times, but the cost was always too high.
Being able to land the rocket is an enormous cost savings. The tech has finally advanced enough the make the cost/benefit equation doable in an age where the bonus incentive of 'first' has long been removed from the table.
"Social paperweights" (great term!) develop because of the increase in technology and social complexity. They're arise in conjunction with "progress".
As a civ progress, technology makes life easier and mortality risks lower, so as a portion of the people become elite producers, others become elite moochers. In lesser societies, these moochers would be left to fend for themselves and eventually they'd burn out or be conquered by non-moochers.
In societies like ours though, we've curated the moochers, allowing them to flourish as if in a virtual societal zoo.
And so that's what we've got to deal with now. A zoo with the bars intentionally removed.
I couldn’t care less about the riots anymore, they will run out of steam and everyone will be over it in a week, just like every riot ever.
So many more important things going on, and I’m not gonna let paid rioters ruin my excitement for this launch today, this is history, the riots are not
Because it’s not about George Floyd, they’re not rioting for George, they’re rioting because they’re animals who are being misguided by evil people, using them for their own gain
all i care about it is continuing to expose the hypocrisy of the left, antifa and leftist scum that enables all that, and preventing it from spilling out of cities and becoming an "everywhere apocalypse" problem
Because the closer you are to the equator the faster the rotational speed of the Earth (approximately 1037 mph). This additional speed helps achieve escape velocity and get rockets into space. That's why SpaceX has a facility in Brownsville TX and other launch facilities are also near the equator.
If you were at the equator it would add almost 300 m/s ^V if you launched due east. Most rockets need 9 - 9.3 kilometers per second to get into orbit. So it's an advantage to launch east from the equator, but it's not that huge in the grand scheme of things. Considering an ISS launch is a fairly high inclination (the rocket travels along the eastern coast of the US, not due east) the advantage of launching from closer to the equator is pretty negligible for this specific trajectory.
you know what I miss... The old GO/NOGO poll. Even Space X had it as late as last year. https://youtu.be/d19WEJqt008
So cool, harkens back to the Apollo launches we boomers grew up watching in black and white sitting on a rug wearing pajamas while mom and dad had a smoke and a martini lol
"But think of all the good SpaceX could accomplish if they abandoned space travel and focused on making Muslims feel good about themselves." -Obama, probably
Those are emergency flight suits designed to protect the astronauts from sudden decompression. In a vacuum, they become very stiff due to puffing out like a balloon. Proper space suits are bulky because they have more rigid sections with joints that make it possible to move your arms and hands without getting tired.
When one side is making advancements in human civilization and space exploration while the other side is burning local businesses and destroying communities, you must be a complete retard to not see which is the right side to lead America.
when did TheDonald go from being pro-Trump to a astroturfed elon musk fanclub?
Is this the same musk that called the diver that saved the thai kids a paedophile on twitter because he wouldn't use musks crazy submarine so musk can get free PR?
Drugged up sociopath elon Musk literally goes against everything what we pedes stand for. He is NOT a visionary but got lucky investing in paypal before it went huge. He is not the founder tesla but brought into the company later on , stock manipulation and billions of obamas green funding and cali ZEV credits (100k tesla all subsided by yor tax $) to be successful.
same goes for spacex the only reason it makes money is because of the open cheque book contracts they get from the gov.
He despises conservatives and is only being ‘woke’ and pro maga to be on friendly terms with the government so it does not stop the billions of green tax intensives, credits for tesla (worth $20-70k per car sold) and get lucrative space force gov contracts for spacex.
hes a scammer that makes billions from government welfare: your federeal tax dollars subsidises his teslas and government spacex space missions.
But go ahead drink the astrotufed silicon valley musk worship cool aid.
disliking elon is illegal, downvotes are probably bottled, notice how random trivial spacex and tesla(wow my 'self' driving car just avoided a crash and cured cancer thank you elon) posts on reddit get 50k+ votes?? I guess that is the benefit of living in silicon valley and having friends in high places who can run sophisticated ai troll farms.
I signed up here for Trump and not to kiss the feet of a megalomaniac south african billionaire and his astroturfed hero worship campaigns.
I'm not your bro, and I'm not a religious nutcase. you have no idea what God is and you're just using the idea as a reason to say everything is fake and man cant do anything on his own. could there be a god? maybe. did god "create everything"? no. you have a very closed minded idea of what god is
It’s fascinating to me that a leftist friend pointed out to me (subtly) how Christians believed (and some still do she said) that the earth is flat and that they opposed Christopher Columbus voyage because it would prove them wrong. Did research only to find there were other serious reasons they opposed. Anyway, all that to say- I’d never heard much of that, and thought it so weird she’s bringing it up.
Then, sure enough, poof, the trolls on here spewing this shit as if it is a common belief held by conservatives and Trump supporters. I’ve got to get on her “weekly messaging” list- because inevitably she points out something odd to me- and Wala, there are people on the Donald posting it to validate the leftist messaging.
It’s bizarre. They say we are “THIS”, and then invade our forum with “THIS”.
No, it is your job to disprove the moon landing. Not ours to prove that it happened. We have video evidence, you want to claim those videos were staged? Sure, go ahead and claim that, but that means you need to back up your own claim. Innocent until proven guilty, so to speak.
If this is successful today on the back of nation wide riots then we truly live in a cyberpunk reality
Transition to greatness. When's the last time you made an omlette and no eggs got broken?
Damn good point
Good point pede. We just shot through a crazy situation and now they are rioting but once it all blows over we will look back and laugh.
Voter ID cocksuckers. trump 2020 2024 2028, 2032, to infinity and beyond!

Could there be a possibly be a correlation? Its almost as if this was intended as a means of sabotage.
Same thoughts here. Now we know its because commies infiltrated our nation a long time ago. Golden Age incoming!
We could, we had little reason too.

You really need to shut the fuck up and leave.
You're free to disagree, but that was the historical reason. The people making those budgetary decisions felt otherwise.
It's not "kinda weird"
And the idea that we "couldn't replicate" the tech is false.
Please slink away now.
We were warned after the impeachment fail to buckle up for 2020. The pandemic and this looks like what they were talking about.
Awesome comes to mind.
You put words to my thoughts! And, I like that name: Social Paperweights"

I care because innocent people are having their businesses and lives destroyed by these crack pots
What better way to show you're mad at an innocent person's life being ruined, then by destroying more innocent people's lives.
Because it’s not about George Floyd, they’re not rioting for George, they’re rioting because they’re animals who are being misguided by evil people, using them for their own gain
😔 I really think I need to set some time aside out in the woods or something to say a prayer or something for our bug city pedes
I grew up thinking people praying were wasting time. I just dont know what else I can do to help these mentally sick individuals
Vote MAGA, and dialog with those around you.
Aye aye captain
well said
I feel bad because NO ONE likes to talk to their insurance agency
Civil Unrest isn't usually covered by insurance.
See what I mean!!!
all i care about it is continuing to expose the hypocrisy of the left, antifa and leftist scum that enables all that, and preventing it from spilling out of cities and becoming an "everywhere apocalypse" problem
Go Falcon!
Go USA!
Go mankind looking to the heavens in a constructive tribute to God's order, and away from the hellish destructive chaos below!

What time is the launch?
I read 40% chance of launch earlier, although that can change every hour.
They can't predict weather two hours out but, muh, climate change.
So rocket parts when they separate splash in the Atlantic, not over inhabited areas potentially and kill people.

BRING BACK THE GO/NOGO POLL!
Pretty stark comparison. Capitalism sets fires that propel society to space. Communism sets fires that burn society back down to "equal" ashes.
Some people use fire to advance humanity upwards, not to burn civilization downwards.
Profoundly said pede.
Gotta properly sublimate the fire I guess

Holy shit my dudes
Elon Musk is the greatest African American who ever lived. Change my mind.

Not right away, anyway.

Wow, the chip is super convenient! No more messy cash, or clunky cards! I love the chip so much!

Oh hey, we're phasing out messy, germ-infested cash. Nobody uses it anyway except a few crazy luddite fanatics...

He thinks that we'll go up against the AI robots unless we 'join' them.
He's incredibly optimistic about how quickly AI will advance and how easily the brain will meld with that technology. A bit foolish in that respect.
Its amazing that this happened on the same day
Hopefully T is still going down there to watch.
Its on his calendar for today
He said he was
The rioters should stand under the rocket and protest this because we're wasting money on rockets
underrated
At the beginning of Planet of the Apes, there was a raging pandemic at the same time two astronauts were launching into space on a historic mission.
If the apes want it, they can have it.
Amazing
Headed there now! Let's go USA!
I'll still drive to see it baby! MAGA!! Shout out to FL, FL! GOOD looking out. And I might just go do some surfing while I'm out there
Rockets create a few jobs...
SpaceX employs several thousand people, most of them blue collar tradesmen types.
Those who build. Those who destroy. It doesn't get any clearer than this.
GO! GO! GO!

He said he was going. But he might have to stay home babysit.
"What a madman!"
-Me, until I realized this wasn't quoting a tweet.
Elon has the right idea about blasting off for new territory.
Fuck weather is bad again.
Can we launch our criminals into orbit?
The new space suits don't seem very substantial. What am i missing?
Technology, sir. Technology.
Those are emergency flight suits designed to protect the astronauts from sudden decompression. In a vacuum, they become very stiff due to puffing out like a balloon.

That Arby Hat has a rocket booster.
what time is launch?
wrong rocket/
More rain? ehhhhh
So how many stores, businesses, et al got destroyed this week?
Chosen for effect.
A TALE OF TWO COMMUNITIES.
One community launched a manned mission to space today.
The other...
GO FOR LAUNCH
When one side is making advancements in human civilization and space exploration while the other side is burning local businesses and destroying communities, you must be a complete retard to not see which is the right side to lead America.
Fake space launch to distract from the fake "protests."

It's showing the world we're so mighty our private citizens can do things entire nations can't
