I dislike the new SpaceX stream graphics. Too complicated and ugly at the same time.

This article from ~5 years ago did not age well.

Now the exact same logic is being used against Starship and Superheavy.

I love Charlie Bolden. Amazing human being. But his quote to me at the time:

“Let’s be very honest. We don’t have a commercially available heavy-lift vehicle. The Falcon 9 Heavy may some day come about. It’s on the drawing board right now. SLS is real.”https://t.co/6FZrexy8Qz

Center core is cursed

SpaceX: “As conditions worsened with eight to ten foot swells, the booster began to shift and ultimately was unable to remain upright. While we had hoped to bring the booster back intact, the safety of our team always takes precedence." https://t.co/hNtj4MvREJ
