Bit of a miscalculation

It could have made it all the way to splashdown and they would call it a failure despite that being the intention all along. Tribes man. Tribes.

They definitely know now though 🙂 Maybe saved them some money on demo.

I took it more as they thought they could get one launch out of it and gambled. They obviously lost.

Yeah, what were they thinking. It's twice as powerful as the largest rocket fielded. Did you read Elon's quote?

Incognito mode if you're specifically shopping/buying something helps

This angle is freaking wild. They definitely lost engines from this.

1 tower and many rockets. From the looks of follow on videos, they FUCKED up the pad big time. NASA would have spent decades designing a over engineered pad that would have came in 100% over budget. Space X took a risk from the looks of it and from the outside looking in, they'll need a redesign for the next launch. "3 months ago, we started building a massive water-cooled, steel plate to go under the launch mount. Wasn’t ready in time & we wrongly thought, based on static fire data, that Fondag would make it through 1 launch. Looks like we can be ready to launch again in 1 to 2 months."

It sure sounds great though....Meanwhile, our day to day mission support comm systems are down on at least a weekly basis and are given lip service support. So innovative.

Yup, they had no intentions of it making it up. Booster and ship were going to splashdown in pacific and Atlantic. They have more starships but only one pad.

Cleared the pad and then some before deconstructing. She's a big ol' bitch 10 million pounds of propellant Video of entire launch https://fb.watch/k17C1M-B4e/

If the great Llama is doing this in public on camera, then for sure he is doing worse in private and his handlers know it. The llama probably doesn't know what planet he's on right now.

Why would they upgrade them, especially with armor when their top of the line tanks are jack in the boxing with javelins and the like? It's also sporting a 100mm main gun which I think the Russians have a big unused stockpile of if I remember right.

Crazy that it was an intel guy. That never happens.

Yup. Def going to be the "tricky" part if they get some momentum going.

They were pulling T-54's and T-44s out of museums

Last time they had the support of the allies though....

And to be fair, our dear leader only had 7 months to analyze the current plan and make changes/delays as needed. Biden and his team were "well aware of the challenges posed by withdrawing from a warzone" after 20 years, the White House said, and while the Trump administration left a target date for leaving Afghanistan, it provided "no plan for executing it." Great, so what happened to all the fired generals and staffers who failed to plan for an event that the president at the time said was going to happen?

Maybe this report will be the catalyst needed to enable the American public to elect someone into a position that will be able to make decisions related to military and diplomatic operations.

Deployed doesn't just mean sitting in a tent in the desert. Come on man.

Old boy is getting paid

TDY from Tyndall up to Cold Lake. Landed and were putting the jets to bed. Local gas trucks show up and we fill everything up. Go inside to finish forms and somebody mentioned something about their gas card didn't work so they borrowed the next jets. New crew chief hears this and asks what a gas card is. Long story short, truck driver asked for a card and new guy gave him his GTC 🙂 Wonder what 2300 gallons of JP-5 cost back then.
