you can say "chimoora" instead of "cow of tailed snake" if you want. its a good pun.

i ramble about aerospace sometimes
I take rocket photos and you can see them @aWildLupi

I have a terminal case of bovine pungiform encephalopathy, the bovine puns are cowmpulsory

they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

so, starship 2

how far do you think it's going to get ²
how far do you want it to get
how many remote cameras do you think will survive (percentage or total number)¹
how Mad About It is mr twitter gonna be

if it gets to stage separation this time and blows up then that's about where i expect. but if it blows up at or before tower clear that's my dream.
i expect somehow worse remote camera survival than the first time
he's already mad about it because he antisemitism'd so hard that advertisers are leaving twitter again

1: remote cameras means all press cameras, no distinctions between ABC/CBS, NASASpaceflight, Everyday Astronaut, and so on. all had to be accredited and go through the same process to place pad cameras
2: nothing from the mission is intended to successfully land, iirc. the starship vehicle itself is gonna hit the water if things go right, and i think the booster is also intended for a water landing

I dunno, I doubt it will be a successful mission by normal human standards but I could see it staging successfully maybe; I think making it controlled through the flip is an outside chance but there's no way it lands
I want it to blow up on the pad/also blow up the pad
depends, are we talking official cameras only or also all the youtubers who go down to boca chica
sooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad

colin @vogon11/18/2023, 12:03 AM

hmmmmm, I'm gonna go with about 60-70% surviving

I hate that this guy has made me root for total failure in private spaceflight, like starship is some vessel in a sci fi movie that must be stopped before it returns to earth because it holds a deadly alien pathogen or something

Lupi @lupi11/18/2023, 12:23 AM

i want the delusion to end at this point, i've become an elon musk demise accelerationist and nasa pulling out of supporting it for hls would be a good step that direction, he won't be able to point to spacex as the golden child that can do no wrong, and leverage their success for his reputation anymore

Moondancer @SigsegV11/18/2023, 3:59 AM

Agree.

Hypatia @HypatiaPhoto11/18/2023, 12:23 AM

It'll probably make it to staging if it fails to blow up the pad (unlikely). Definitely won't land.
We want it to destroy itself, the pad and a bunch of people's cars again.
The cameras will probably fare best out of anything else on the pad. 75%
Very mad. We hope he cries.

I’m gonna go with a prediction of launches fine, tries to do the flip, spirals into the ocean doing loop-de-loops

I want the dang thing to work, but I’ll also take comedic results

@Ongion11/18/2023, 12:34 AM

I want literally anyone except this man to succeed at this. I love space, and I do not want Twitter boy to be the one who gets us there. I sustain myself on a diet of his failures.
