“Ohhhh you said suborbital. My mistake.”
whistles We’re gonna need a lot of duct tape.
This bad boy can fit like, SO much C₁₂H₂₆–type hydrocarbons!
These boosters run on methane, not kerosene :)
I just needed a cool sounding chemical for the joke.
Edit: Also, wait what? Liquid methane??
yeah, it’s what lots of new rockets are using
Is it supposed to do that?
Well the front didn’t fall off, so this could be typical for the new boosters.
Well I think some of them are built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.
As a manager, I love using “suboptimal” instead of “fucked up”
It’s not “bad”, there’s “room for improvement”. I learned that one at Siemens.
“Uhhh…ammm…I do appreciate the team effort it took in order to do this…”
Hey, look, I genuinely think civility and custom is important. More the older I get.
You have a point, but as I got more experience, I also understood that some people are just assholes who will do a bad job/nothing, unless you put them in a spotlight, and call the things with real names. The hardest is to understand, which case it is.
You mean like, sometimes “tough love” is better? I can see that too. I mean, not everyone responds the same to… external stimuli, of different sorts. :)
I am a firm believer in corporal punishment, myself. Not for children, not for the elderly, exclusively for people who can’t speak a human language. I don’t hurt cats, for instance. But a cat knows what’s right and what’s wrong when in the former case you coo it, and in the latter hiss at it.
People and animals learn different.
Pain, shame, or instilling other negative emotions is sometimes the only way to communicate intentions clearly. Pain is a sort of lingua franca for most sentient things.
