Fun fact: the name for the 2017 starship concept was BFR which stood for “Big F***ing Rocket” but in press releases and such it was referred to as the “Big Falcon Rocket” because their other rockets are called “Falcons”.

Thomas Edison stole and upgraded the light bulb, his ass did not invent anything

"I LOVE YOU MELON HUSK!!!" got me dying 💀

We watched it in robotics, and everyone in class was furious the first time when they realize that they were there and not even going to launch it

Context: The biggest failure of that launch was the FTS (flight termination system) which was basically a C4 strapped to the side of it. It didn't ignite the fuel and blow it up in a quick enough time, which REALLY worried the FAA and NASA. It needs to destroy the rocket and terminate the launch within a matter of seconds. (They've since moved the location of the explosives to a more sensitive area). The actual rocket itself was becoming an older and older design that they had to get rid of it to make room for testing newer designs at the small test facility, so rather than scrapping it when it was ready to go, they launched. Getting it to actually fly out of that launch site was the main thing they were hoping for. The hydraulic system that caused the failure was already phased out on future designs since before that launch

who's here after flight 4? The progress that has been made since this video is insane! From uncontrolled ascent and failed stage separation to soft water landing of both the booster and the ship.

"Here we Cum Mars!" Bro was so honest

Fun fact: Thomas Edison did not invent the lightbulb, but found a way to prolong its effects.

Fun fact: The starship (especially for its size) is very cheap. It only costs 100 million dollars as of right now. The sls from nasa costs 100x that and is smaller and less powerful.

Thomas Edison " patented" the light bulb. He didn't invent it.

[Fazbearfriendsproductions]

Thomas Edison actually worked with a guy and took all the credit

" I love you melon husk !!! " got me on the floor 💀

[lrwedlo]

The face when the dude says “liftoff”😂😂😂

[BenBoozled]

Bro thought we wouldn’t read the signs💀💀

[samsouyave-murphy]

Also, technically, Thomas Edison didn’t invent the lightbulb. He bought the patent.

This aged really well, the starship managed to make its first successful flight to orbital velocity and landing.

You forgot to mention that it took 45 seconds after detonating explosives (2 BOMBS) before it exploded. A piece of foam took out the space shuttle

You can’t have progress without knowing what can be wrong with the system.
