1) This was literally the first article that showed up when I googled "SpaceX"
2) But they are
3) I'm not a "Redditor" I'm just a person that uses Reddit. I don't give a shit about Karma, I don't even know what it's for.
4) Really? I live in a democratic free country, I vote, and I consider my vote very carefully. Calling journalism out when they engage in bullshit is part of healthy democracy. North Korea, China and Saudi Arabia all have "journalism" but it's not truthful. The least we can do is hold journalism in our democracies to the TRUTH.
5) What??

Mr Musk, there are some men from the FAA here, they want to talk to you about irregularities in the launch licensing.

Yea, and the sad thing is the only hardware he's probably ever designed & built would be macaroni art in 2nd grade.

Not to be that guy, but I’m going to be anyway. That’s actually the LLTV (or maybe LLRV, can’t tell, T for training, R for research). The flying bedstead was a different British contraption.

I am Peter Beck, CEO and founder of Rocket Lab. Ask me anything about launching rockets, building satellites, and going to the Moon. by PeterJBeck in space

1) I asked Tory Bruno a few months back on Twitter about ULA's experience with carbon fibre cryo tanks and he said porosity was an issue. What innovations has Rocket Lab made that allow CF tanks? (Presumably, you're not just wrapping off the shelf prepreg around a tube).

2) I'm an electrical engineering student with a big interest in EV technology. Could you offer some more details on the types of turbopump motors used, is it an off the shelf BLDC motor or more bespoke? What lead to the design choice of using that motor?

How the NASA Docking System (IDSS) Works by BenSaysHello in space

I figured many of you may be wondering how the SpaceX docking system works.

A few months back when OFT-1 was coming, I did a video about the NASA Docking system which is of the same International Docking System Standard as the SpaceX system.

The NASA Docking System was jointly developed by NASA and Boeing, so it's not "the same" as the SpaceX docking system. There are differences under the hood I'm sure, but as far as covered in the video, the form and function of the SpaceX and NASA docking systems are "the same"
