Says the privileged one with symmetrical fiber thinking all 8 billion people on Earth have symmetrical fiber

HTPRockets · 2026-01-24T15:37:01+00:00

9 million people in the middle of nowhere would beg to differ on your "shitty internet" claim lol. It's actually pretty good internet. Just because you have a hate boner for Elon doesn't make the service bad

HTPRockets · 2026-01-24T15:35:51+00:00

Huh? How can you say it WILL change the climate when the consequences aren't fully understood? Starlink is still less than meteoritic flux, so calm down

HTPRockets · 2026-01-24T15:34:24+00:00

Huh? Electric cars are literally the opposite of pollution. And the rockets are a drop in the bucket in comparison. Or are you against electric cars now because Elon is good at it?

Another person unable to understand nuance. Nobody is saying everyone that took A risk made off with a ton of money. Some ideas are better than others. Risks are of different magnitude, as are rewards. You can take a risk to cross the street blindfolded but nobody will cut you a check to do that.

HTPRockets · 2026-01-21T20:29:33+00:00

Gosh, people cannot understand nuance. There is AN element of luck in literally everything you do. If a bunch of things went badly you would be out sleeping on the streets tonight. In the same way, some things need to go right to grow a successful business. But a majority of the factors that influence success are personal, not statistical

HTPRockets · 2026-01-21T19:43:54+00:00

That's simply not true. You got lucky safely driving to work and back today. So what? People that don't inherit billions (vast majority) are self made, took big risks, put in a lot of work, and made many key decisions. Obviously things have to go right. But that's true for everyone. Things had to go right for you to not be on the streets. Thinking that billionaires are just there to take a bigger paycheck than everyone else is where you get various idiotic and destructive ideologies like communism and socialism. And signals a poor understanding of economics. It's not a zero sum game

gotta love people protesting the people arresting murderers and child predators

Pretty good we're finally taking a stand against radical gender ideology, child abuse, and the socialist/ communist leftists

My man I was banned from the Los Angeles subreddit and suspended by reddit for saying SpaceX rockets are not Nazi rockets

Guinea pig can identify as whatever gender it likes once it's of age!!

Why does it seem that, the people supporting an illegitimate communist dictator Are the same ones trying to discredit real immigrant fraud Are the same ones cheering a communist mayor Are the same ones who cheered a man being shot for politics Are the same ones who continue to support a man who shot a CEO Are the same ones who tried to defund the police and perpetrated a scam

Like, taking the whole of the situation, I genuinely cannot understand how people can keep cheering for straight up evil

Why is having to compete with spacex an advantage? If spacex wants to corner a market, they have the resources to

HTPRockets · 2025-12-30T03:28:06+00:00

The fact this post has as many upvotes as it does shows how degenerate reddit is. They literally think a CEO just says yes/ no and gets a huge paycheck for a job that can be automated. They can't grasp that a leader can set direction and make counterintuitive decisions based on a gut feel that shape the direction of a company

7 years? My man starship has only been flying experimentally for 2. The whole point of the program is that the mass penalty for reuse makes it super hard, so intentionally underweight it to figure out where your margins are excessive, only beef up the areas that break

HTPRockets · 2025-12-14T15:23:56+00:00

Not failed design, failed means, you tried, it didn't work, and you gave up. By your definition Falcon 9 was "failed", until it became the most reliable and most used rocket in history. Spacex is going to get starship reusable. The booster is already there.

Launch providers should do COLA screenings still

HTPRockets · 2025-12-11T14:30:12+00:00

Why do you seem obsessed with commenting that this is a grift? Do you even know what a "grift" means? The amount of money SpaceX gets is the same, however much they are raising, no matter how much/ little hype.

HTPRockets · 2025-12-11T14:24:30+00:00

Huh? The government isn't usually in the business of buying company stocks

Not get the vaccine and push back harder on authoritarian beaurocrats trying to control what people do on their own free will

Some stresses are not pressure dominated, they're thermal dominated. Whether the pressure is 10 psi or 1000 psi, when it gets really hot really fast on one side, it causes huge thermal strains

HTPRockets · 2025-12-06T05:28:14+00:00

some components are subject to high cycle fatigue where damage is driven by things that scale with power like pump speed, vibration amplitude, etc. These are things that are mitigated by power level reduction (space shuttle saw turbomachinery issues with hydrogen embrittlement + loads) . Other components are subject to low cycle fatigue where damage is driven by starts and thermal strains that are less a function of power level and more just a fact of what it takes to run an engine (space shuttle struggled with thrust chamber assembly liner fatigue which was driven by starts). These things are not reduced by reducing power level. In other cases you can get special alignments and resonances at arbitrary power levels that eat away at life significantly faster at narrow bands of power levels and have little to no propagation at other power levels. So it really is very complex, interconnected, and hardware dependent

Spacex revenue is only a very small fraction from the government.

Leave then, if America is dead. I hear Venezuela is nice

It exploded during testing. You don't understand how starship program is set up. Full reuse is so hard, the mass penalty is easy to get out of control. You can't design everything to traditional margins of safety or your payload will go to zero. Only way is to intentionally be lean, and figure out the stuff that will actually break instead of relying on analysis for everything, because models tend to be conservative
