Well, you can't win them all. Elon's rocket blew up and caused quite a delay in flights all around. These things happen. Crazy business, shooting off rockets

Elon Musk’s Starship prototype has broken up during its seventh launch attempt, sending fiery debris streaking through the sky above the Caribbean and grounding nearby aircraft.

Mr Musk’s SpaceX carried out a launch of the superheavy rocket from Boca Chica in Texas on Thursday night with the aim of undertaking a series of stress tests to push its launch vehicle to its limit.

However, in an unexpected setback, SpaceX lost the upper portion of the Starship rocket, which exploded minutes after it blasted off.

About eight minutes into the mission, SpaceX lost communication with Starship, with launch commentators eventually saying that the vehicle had been destroyed.

Ya, you sure showed me...or something

 

Elon's blown up lots of rockets, this isn't a big deal at all. They will learn from this and be better

not playing nice together

The most recent fight pits one of the most significant figures in Trump’s 2016 win, Stephen K. Bannon, against the face of Trump’s 2024 win, Elon Musk. Bannon has now thrown down the gauntlet and pledged to oust Musk from Trump’s orbit.

Bannon went so far last week as to tell Musk to “go back to South Africa,” where Musk was born and which Bannon said is home to “the most racist people on earth, White South Africans.” (Bannon also invoked other influential Trump advisers with ties to South Africa, David Sacks and Peter Thiel, in his comments.)

 

He called Musk “truly evil” and said he had the maturity of a child, even likening that characteristic to sex offenders. Bannon promised that he would get Musk — with whom Trump has frequently been seen and whom Trump appointed to lead a government-efficiency task force — cast out in short order.

“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon pledged in an interview with the Italian news outlet Corriere della Sera.

Musk doesn’t appear to have responded thus far. But the clash traces back to perhaps the most pitched internal MAGA fight of the Trump transition. That’s when Bannon and his nationalist allies blanched at Musk’s and fellow “Department of Government Efficiency” head Vivek Ramaswamy’s support for H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers.

That fight climaxed when Musk claimed that American workers aren’t good enough for those jobs and Ramaswamy said American culture doesn’t produce enough quality workers for sectors like the tech industry.

Bannon and been bannished.  He's not anyone worth listening to anymore.

I don't see a Nazi salute.

Much more Mussolini than Hitler in my opinion. I think that makes it o.k.?

 

You also didn't see that Biden was senile, so...

See, that's because it was a Roman (Fascist) Salute, not a Nazi salute!

I think those are o.k. in your world, right?

Now you are going the Tiberius route. Very sad. We know these are difficult days for you but this?

Hard to believe a “doctor” of your abilities was so fooled by Biden. How embarrassing for you.

Let's ask "Doc" what this might have been...Anesthesiologists use ketamine regularly...

If this is what retirement looks like, I hope I work forever.

Even in Va, it's frigid today.  Much warmer climate starting Sat.  Retirement is great.

Not great for your critical thinking skills, but hope you enjoy the warmer weather.
