The power produced by wind turbines is directly proportional to the area swept out by the turbines (and thus their lengths)

What’s the context from this painting?

That’s simply not true. Please read Lenin

Neither China nor Russia are imperialist nations

Paper tiger etc etc

Define imperialism.

Does China have cars that run on hydrogen?

You don’t know what you’re talking about. SpaceX has been supplying the ISS for a decade, as well as bringing humans to the ISS. You want to talk about wasting taxpayer money, well that’s a hell of a lot cheaper than sending them to Kazakhstan.

Sad to see the support you’re getting here. I’m no Musk fanboy but I am a SpaceX fan and we can’t deny the achievements they’ve made.

Decades behind any government funded space program

Which government space programs have landed and re-used rockets, let alone done it 250 times? That has brought down costs immensely. And Starship is literally the most powerful rocket ever built.

Now, it is important to note that most of the current success of SpaceX can be attributed to government funding (i.e. NASA contracts). But to say they are decades behind doesn’t even make sense.

I know we all like to hate on Elon around here, but as a space nerd and someone who’s been following SpaceX and the development of Starship pretty closely, I just wanted to give my 2 cents.

While this was a failure, it was certainly very successful in that it performed better than the 1st flight. All 33 engines on the booster performed flawlessly through to MECO, hot staging went well with the ship continuing on and nearly reaching the desired orbital energy. SpaceX’s stated goals are to iterate quickly and fail often. I have no doubt that they will nail this sooner or later.

One last note - SpaceX are still miles ahead of anyone else. The Falcon 9 is still the only orbital class rocket to have successfully landed - and they have done that nearly 250 time now. My point being, it’s easy to laugh and say “haha Elon’s rocket blew up again” but let’s not diminish the accomplishments. SpaceX continues to push the envelope and before long Starship will be carrying humans to the moon. Glory to the workers who are making it happen 🫡

Why Yugoslavia but no Croatia?

With that logic it was 0-100

But at what cost?

28 states of matter? 😧
