I didn’t create this, but thought it was terrific.
Almost brings a tear to my eyes. We are capable of so much more but instead space gets a very small slice of the budgeting. Obligatory fuck Elon, it’s a miracle he hasn’t fucked SX like he has to all of his other companies
Don’t know how trustworthy the claim is but allegedly he has made spacex staff rush things, which I’d imagine is pretty bad when you’re doing literal rocket science
Thanks. I’m bad at Lemmy, and thought I had included it.

I tapped the play button :(
Fuck you with the not-play-button. Cunt.
No wonder it didn’t make it very deep, it looks like it settled into a butt-first orientation.
I too, always go butt first, to confuse the enemy.
But seriously that was really cool render to watch.
I’m wondering if the remaining fuel in the lower segments of the ship gave those sections more momentum, causing the whole hull to pivot around those heavier sections (especially with the loss of thruster capability being discussed).
With the Space Shuttle, this tendency was largely offset by the delta wings also causing greatly increased drag at the rear of the hull, but with fins folded the Starship doesn’t really have this. That plus the seeming loss of control due to thruster malfunction…
Is this a link to a picture of a video? Where do I watch this?
