Back about 8 years ago,i had no real clue who elon was.just another billionaire breathing my air.
My mom sent me clips of the spaceport plans in boca chica.suggested i apply.i had been down there 3 times in my life.the town literally 6 miles away,port isabell was where i was at.had a decent old motel shaped like a square circle with a cafe you could buy all you could eat flounder,fried or baked.that was my favorite meal while there.i never thought the project would succeed and didnt want to be stuck down in the middle of nowhere surrounded by spanish speakers and probably drug cartels.
Theres nothing there but sand dunes and a gulf of mexico beach that stinks.
Well elon has turned it into a real space port of sorts.so in honor of his texas project and that big ass rocket, im starting this thread.may starship be a success.
I applied with spacex to help build it but never heard back from them.i find that discurtious but ill hold my judgement for now.
i chalk it up to elon being jealous of my relationship with his girlfriend! : ))

I must ponder these rockets and all. Given I know We have the tech to create electrogravitic craft, looking at this seems so primitive and inefficient. Not to be a Debbie Downer... Haha!

Starship is built.they did static fire test today.had some problems but odds are no big deal.per instagram.
They cant safely use ufos.too much chance of brain damage.parkinsons.

How would brain damage occur?

Magnetic fields are very powerful on ufos,brains have iron in the blood.michael j fox fell asleep in the back to the future car and look what happened to him.this is why we use alien human hybrids as ufo pilots.specially engineered beings that can handle the brain stress.

Well, I ponder that, but as I have zero evidence for or against the idea that electrogravitic craft cannot be used by Humans (nor of ET, either), I will leave probabilities unassigned until more data are acquired.

Im shocked and impressed how fast his crew got it built and prepped for test firing.looks like spacex has a good team down there.good for them!
I just got notice that the congressional rep for that area is retiring.i hope the new rep is able to be a full supporter of this project.

I renamed this thread starbase.
Goo earth doesnt tell whats up and i havent seen real news on the place.
Wiki has the details and insta came out with the images.its huge,has 500 employees on 24/7.
A sea of construction.
The bottom part of rocket was being set on the base today.this base is a stand.its like 3 or 4 stories tall.has legs on 3 or 4 sides.
There looks to be two assembly towers that are just giant indoor assembly boxes.problaby also shelters from hurricanes and winds.these towers look like windowless brown sand colored buildings.twin towers.doom,lol.
Its a giant clusterfuck of activity on the ground.cranes,lifts,matterials,tanks of liquid.
Whats weird is what looks to be a woodframe house in the very middle of it.

very interesting thats the connecting points and how few there are.says alot about the enginering.that circular cross section at those points is so strong, that it doesnt collapse under the weight of that rocket.thats a very solid nose cone.
and to be attached to that whole rocket assembly.
hopefully a first launch this month of starship.maybe a crash and burn.big day : )

if you are into heavy industrial construction,this guy is on the ball.
i think its all too close to rocket.i think hes right about the stairs and elevators.it will beef up that tower.lots of stuff.
im not 100% but the steel and galvanizing all reminds me of andrews towers/adelphon/landmark.some guys i use to build super heavy duty towers for ,out of ft worth.these guys were some engineering geniuses but also not real smart on the construction end.made life a living hell for tower hands.200lb splice plates with 24 splice bolts with loads under tension while mating bolts.bull pin and hammer for weeks on end.
for example the galvanized stairs reminds of their style of quality.looks exactly like their products.most of their jobs were always in debt.robbing the next job to pay for the last job.great engineers but terrible management.

i want to point out starbase youtube livestream on first post.
think about this a second.what if that livestream has so many visitors that it actually generates revenue.what if it generates enough revenue to pay its streaming cost?
the moment it does,its a revenue maker and,elon technically owns a video production company.anything he adds will just increase its value,say a side ad or little nasa vid,a part time starbase news commentator or even a five oclock daily news.theres already enough employees whos families would tune in to keep up.anything is positive cash flow.theres already a baseline of fanatic viewers.anything above that is pure profit.
all from just a simple permanent camera and livestream.

I just loathe ads, and really the idea of "revenue" (making Some rich and keeping Others poor).

uh oh!
this is bigtime.
big E hinted at something and ai handed me this.this is it.think of how diesel has no spark.it ignites from compression.they have figured out how to creates pressure waves in the fuel mixture to cause ignition.E didnt say how but this vid does.

the bottom rocket has had its engines replaced and will probably be tested soon.
theres hints of an orbital launch in the next thirty days.if it passes the engine spinup,i think that means its a go.
i dont remember if i mentioned it.they are blaming a generator for ignition.i dont personally believe that excuse.maybe the generator was the ground for the spark.the explosion seems to me to be dust explosion not fuel ignition.probably paint dust since the starship test happened elsewhere and there was no explosion.
im not going back to twitter as long as they support groomers and require my phone number to log in: (
it was fun and the news was more my speed.shame.

starship is doing test fires of engines,not engine spinups.they are testing them two at a time.so far all good news!
: )
im using nitter website to view twitter.type in elonmusk in search bar,theres mini vid there of test.no explosions but really beautiful flame fronts from ignitions.

Starbase is a fuckin joke at this point.they have had more than enough time.50 fucking years nasa has dragged its feet.the earths wobble is enough proof for me that nasa does not give a shit about america.
