This guy ... MEGA lmao. To the contrary, I am fascinated by what SpaceX has accomplished so far. I wouldn't just say they "nailed it" they completely blew past all expectations I had. "Why didn't just get it right on their first test", really? People can't even get a regex right the first time. Are you aware of the size of this rocket? That it reached orbit? That it hovered over the ocean instead of just crashing into it? That it came back into a point with such precision that a buoy with a camera was already waiting for it? From orbit (that its 30,000km/h and 150km high)? Your comment is just ridiculous. | ||

> "Why didn't just get it right on their first test", really? People can't even get a regex right the first time. The comment you replied to didn't say that. And this isn't the first test. I think their comment was reasonable. It was a successful mission that met the stated objectives and demonstrated progress. But it wasn't perfect, and there is definitely more progress to be made for Starship to be a reliable operational launch system. | ||
