seems like the rule with Atlas lately is that the pictures are always gonna come out looking like I screen printed them on denim, it's always a hazy morning when one goes up it feels like.

Managed to get just a handful of shots before work opened for the day, was ahead on my to-do list and got to head out into the parking lot, and then we had not a lunch rush, but a launch rush. we were slammed lmao.

Gawd, I wish I could punch SpaceX chuds in the throat.

like, ULA gets a lot of deserved hate, but you guys do realize how much of a fucking trash heap Starship is turning into, right? The Space Shuttle was supposed to be this wonderful reusable thing but refurbishing the tiles kills any benefit to that, and Starship is committing the same mistakes, right?

The moment I heard Starship was going from active cooling to tiles is the moment I knew any kind of cost savings and reusability/fast turn around was going to die, y'all talk like you know engineering and you act like Starship is Spacecraft Jesus and you tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

You deserve that throat-punch. You're insufferable. You are a blight on any spaceflight forum or chatroom. I fucking hate you.
