Reusable rockets save milions
My dude still waiting for trickle down economics to kick in
Man that is not the point here.. The point is that your uni now can send stuff to orbit when 10 years ago it was economically prohibitted. Elon can fuck off but spacex IMO is a net positive to humanity.
The less can be sent into orbit, the better. We have enough trash in orbit as it is. No need to clutter it up any further.
good thing that uni projects are low orbit...
Cube sats were sent to orbit for university projects long before reusable rockets became commercially available
The only trickle-down I believe in is that half that boy trickled down his mamas leg.
Smoking crack from an n64 trident might just give me the edge I'm looking for.
God I mean just the crack alone is bad but now you wanna smoke through old Nintendo plastic
I can feel the cancer in my dome forming as we speak
the nintendium is coursing through me

I’m 99% sure this is how they came up with Majoras Mask
When you're high on crack, cancer is irrelevant.
I'm pretty positive the only thing keeping my mother-in-law from getting lung cancer is the constant supply of cheap cigarette smoke she's pumping into them. That shit's killing the newborn cancer cells before they can ever replicate.
If my shadowrun players had their characters do this or something similar, I don't think I could say no to them regaining their edge points lol
Do you think your high will look pixelated?
No, it'll have big polygons.

And just 3 textures.
I think Musk is a hack and a conman, but what the fuck is with lefty twitter accounts that think behaving like a completely braindead troll online will sway anyone? Hexbears on lemmy have the same style of moronic shit slinging.
People have given up on actually swaying people, as it’s been seen that the most entrenched opinions never ever ever change their stance about anything, regardless of evidence shown.
The most enjoyable thing to do thus is openly mock them, making their entrenched lives miserable.

You are overrestimating the effect this sort of discourse has on people, they are mildly annoyimg at best, and the "mockery" only has the effect of making them look ridiculous.
Yeah, I don't think you're the target audience, chief.
And you are ignoring the appeal of an obvious joke that's designed to be annoying to liberals/centrists and whatever. But also just be funny to everyone else. This sub is memes the twitter account is obvious ragebait/ shit posting just from the name alone...
The key here is "enjoyable" not "making their lives miserable" it doesn't matter whether anyone actually suffers or any change is enacted, it's a joke it's primary purpose is to be funny. It's secondary or tertiary purpose might be propaganda or education or whatever, it's still mostly just funny, for people that get it at least.
The joke here is on some level obviously includes the absurdity of arguments constructed against a nonsense critique trying to defend a system that the people arguing don't even really realize the joke is critiquing. Which is why the account tries to amp up the absurdity with their (non) dismissal of the pointles arguments.
To pull this whole joke into a more centrist perspective it's like posting whatever inclusive or "woke" idea on /pol/ and just typing nonsense as the replies to the highly structured but deeply misunderstanding shit that /pol/ will dream up on that given day. And having a great laugh about it.
Just that we exchange /Pol/ for twitter which is now apparently partially musk dickridig and as such a conservative late stage capitalist realist echo chamber. And we laugh at the stupid defenses they spin up for a non attack on their chosen saviour. Where the point of the joke is so obviously not understood by the people replying, but obviously understood by people voting here.
And probably only partially understood by you, and or me, but that's something we don't need to get into, because if we do, we are again missing the point of the joke.
woosh
The kind of weirdos that simp for Musk are the exact same ones that dread being openly ridiculed for it. Their Twitter profile is part of their actual persona.
"his own car" more like "the car he promissed to the real tesla founder and wanted to say FU to"
Interesting, where did you hear this?
Finally, the suit alleges that Tesla had guaranteed Eberhard the second Roadster ever produced after Musk insisted he get the first, but then failed to provide that car.
Don't see anything about that being the same car launched into space in that article specifically, I'm still looking though.
The ballast could just as easily have been university student design team projects and he would have been doing a ton of good for the world, but instead he decided to waste all that fuel and a whole car for publicity. "Efficiency".
On the first flight of SpaceX's Falcon 1 rocket, a university satellite was the payload. Not only did the launch fail in just the first few seconds, but the payload crashed back. Landing in the shipping container it arrived in. First launches of rockets do not have good track records. Risking a silly car was arguably more fun than the equally useless "mass simulators" used on most first launches. If it were my satellite, I would not have wanted it on the first Falcon Heavy launch.
To give an otherwise unfunded project the chance to go to space, however slim, is worth far more than a tesla roadster with an astronaut mannequin, and costs far less. What was their satellite design going to do on earth?
There isn't any way we could find a million high school students to donate experiments or golden records. What we need is to use government investment to shoot shameless product placement for my other company into space and live stream pictures of it.
What government investment are you talking about? SpaceX paid for the first flight with their own cash. Launch contracts for Falcon Heavy were for subsequent flights. Heck, SpaceX got in trouble from the US government for the live stream of pictures.
Melting plastic while trying to smoke drugs only makes you smoke the plastics. Totally not speaking from experience.
Is there a stoner engineering community yet?
I’m sure there’s several on different instances
I don't entirely get what's going on in the comments here but I just love how one responder pointed out how SpaceX is not the same as Tesla when no one prior had mentioned either.
Every online discussion has the potential of becoming the outlet for one commenter to articulate his personal retort to a fictional argument constructed of a thousand previous or inexistent arguments.
Technically they have, because the implication of the original post is that because Musk burned money sending his car to space, he had to fire 10% of Tesla workers.
you know whats better than reusable rockets? not going to space
Darcy the fucking armchair astronaut over here 🙄
man sthu as if u know anything either
He was my favourite ghostbuster
