Uh, wow. Not to get too political, but that seems very... American. Also: 12 hours ago, DDE said: the dark side of the Moon ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I’m sure they ran “highly accurate” physics simulations using kerbal space program, and they figured that they can refuel the rocket a thousand times if they like. Though, aside from that, one would think that the fact that booster has merely been sitting on the pad would put a lot of physical stress on it.

Same as the Zuma “loss”? Maybe, but they sound too honestly confused by the events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
