People keep comparing Starship to SaturnV, because tentatively, if it ever became a space worthy vessel and orbital delivery vehicle (it's not); it'd be the largest and most powerful one in history, with SaturnV its only near peer (sorry, N-1, you really didn't qualify).
And the first "integration test vehicle" (read: the actually whole complete thing, that's literally the point of that kind of test; it's meant to be all the pieces, already tested and proven on their own, finally assembled into the final thing to make sure everything plays nice when together)
So lets see how did Saturn family development go in comparison? How many "integration test vehicles" did the Saturn project obliterate in the process?
ZERO. They blew up ZERO Saturn first stages, ZERO Saturn second stages, and ZERO Saturn payloads.
It's not fucking normal to blow up rockets this size and complexity, because they're expensive and dangerous! You build SMALLER, SIMPLER prototypes, you test those, you do all the "risky" tests on your separate parts of the system, and test the integration at less ambitious scales and stress levels. That's how you do rocket science. Iteratively, yes! But the iterations must make sense!
And let me stress
SpaceX exists at a time where they can (and should) do 90% of the raw, grueling development with lot of painful failures in digital simulations, or tests where you build a small, simple thing and enhance the simulation based on what you learned there.
Saturn and other projects paved the worst of this goddamn slog. They did all the dirty, awful work already. They literally gave us the textbooks that you study from if you actually get a science degree (Elon does not have one).
And again, the most embarrassing thing isn't Musk and his poor, toxic, overworked circus that's SpaceX. The most embarrassing thing is the "space science enthusiast" crowd that's cheering on this launch as some sort of tentative success.
I have cats and I call them dirty, naughty, witch and stinky but as a joke and affectionately. I love cats but I can't comprehend people who actively dream up how to hurt cats. Like I get telling an asshole cat that someone will punt them if they continue to act shitty but I knew someone who was told that this person wished they could kick a cat so hard it gets bruises. Unbelievable.
The difference between dog-people-who-don’t-like-cats and cat-people-who-don’t-like-dogs is just so staggering and, quite honestly, disturbing.
Most cat people who don’t like dogs either don’t like dogs out of fear or because they don’t want the big time commitment and responsibility that owning a dog brings with it (-> going on walks, going to dog training school) and that’s that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone do a general character assassination of dogs.
But dog people who don’t like cats will really go on about how cats aren’t… capable of love or some shit? How they don’t want an animal who sets personal boundaries - the most cited thing is always the “and they will just hit you at random” (when that’s not even true; cats hit ‘at random’ either due to trauma/abuse or because they have warned you beforehand to stop whatever behavior they dislike and you didn’t listen).
That’s just so wild to me. Cats have such an awful rep for, what exactly? Having personalities? Setting personal boundaries? Not being fucking stuffed toys?
All I’m hearing when people complain about that is that they want a stuffed toy they can pick up whenever they want and can cuddle however long they want and then put back on the shelf when they don’t want to play with it anymore and I’m sorry but you don’t want a pet at all, you want a stuffed toy.
A dog doesn’t deserve you either?? I may not have personal experience with owning a dog, but I somewhat suspect dogs to have personalities too? To want affection when they want it too, and to want to be left alone when they need downtime too…?
And cats show love. How is it that in the year 2023, when cat videos are not even just on YouTube but also on tiktok and are literally on everyone’s fingertips, that people still have the misconception that cats don’t show love or aren’t capable of love that’s so fucking messed up it’s just so severely fucked up.
I told u they were good.
Elon Musk must have a humiliation fetish.
I wonder if it felt good, deliciously forbidden, nice and naughty when he went on his hands and knees to beg other companies to loan him money, or when he had to liquidate his assets, lying on his back like a little submissive dog.
He claims he only bought Twitter so he could unban Donald Trump.
Who notoriously said this about Musk:
See?
Elon Musk must get off to this kind of talk.
He likes it when other rich men verbally abuse him like a bad little puppy.
He must get off, trundling on all fours, little anal plug tail tucked between his legs.
He must like it when daddy trump embarrasses him publicly.
I suppose I can understand humiliation fetishes...I just wish he didn't have to anal fuck American democracy at the same time.
Keep your kinks in the bedroom please.
Donald Trump can whip your balls at his mansion.
We don't need to see him do it on Twitter.
We didn't consent to your humiliation play, Muskrat.
These are so 😍 and their use of shapes and designs is so creative. I feel it's more spring coded though.

I don't know how to save this other than reblogging. Fake subs by bang-tan.
y’all ready know hoseoks lap dance game be too strong, its almost a crime (more fake subz here)
DO NOT REPOST
Here's what happened. When a rocket is launched, all the ignited fuel needs to go somewhere. It is usually diverted in tunnels. Elon decided it shall go nowhere. He exploded the rocket and it's launchpad so badly that it left a crater. This occurred on 20th April 2023.
The rocket exploding was normal. It happens to NASA too.
The crater in the launchpad was not normal and a completely preventable failure.
Make fun of him. He didn't make any arrangements for all the ignited fuels energy to go somewhere. But make fun of him the right way. Or else no one will join in on it.
Also please discuss the plight of all the exemplary people who had to follow this doddering fool's command. He funds everything so they have no choice. Let us remember the hard work they put into every other aspect.
“It’s not that big of a deal”
Can we like …STOP rushing to be the first to kiss that man’s ass ? Please ? It’s ok to laugh at his failures , I assure you
His rocket exploded like the piece of crap it was.
I Said two things of the bat. Pani (water in Hindi) and Mama. But I called the water Mama and I called my mom Pani.
What was your first word as a baby??
How much time did it take you to make these? How much time do you spend online? You are so hot for making these. 😍 You got them all on point 👉

(season 1 version)
Yes. It happened, unfortunately.
I saw this and felt like it should be shared here too
