Vibration testing is a thing, you know.. I actually do a lot of work with it so..

It's not even about putting the life of the pilots at risk - it's about cost. It's starting to look like the lack of flame diverter was a huge mistake that will cost a lot of money and time, how do you think this will affect

If they don't have the launchpad designed to not cause all of these issues, why do you think the rest is designed correctly?

Have you heard of instances where airplanes failed due to something as basic as a nut or a screw not meeting the required specifications? It's difficult to trust the reliability of a rocket, which is largely based on statistics, when y

If there are 5 more of these being built, how they will incorporate anything they learned during this failed attempt? Isn't that just a waste of money?

I wonder how much of this attack on "AI" is directed by China. Slowing down AI development in the western world until they can catch up seems like a big win for China.

LED lights are unfortunately a big marketing scam. Remember when they promised that the will last up to 20 years? Well, when I renovated my house 5 years ago I installed LED lights over my kitchen island - they were so bright that you could

I'm not sure if there really is any difference between milking the taxpayers by SpaceX or Boeing/ULA/NG/AR.
