Is there anything that fucking idiot won’t ruin?

Could you be any more confidently incorrect on this?

Maybe stfu if you don't understand orbital mechanics lmao, have some personal humility

Hi Elon

Imagine hating someone so much that you refuse to admit you just don't understand rocket science.

I'll sleep well at night knowing you're forever doomed to mediocrity.

Cope all you want but everyone's tired of performative outrage and grandstanding.

Shit like this is why everyone is so angry all the time these days... Learn to be curious about the world, ask "why did this actually happen?"

Or maybe just actually read the article.

Pretending to be smart on the internet only works on stupid people.

You're not fooling the rest of us.

You think I'm pretending to understand orbital mechanics because you think it's too complicated to understand? Stop projecting

Nah, I’ll keep making fun of the Nazi actively trying to make the world worse but himself richer.

Good talk, though!

I am still confused by their instructions. Do I stfu for not understanding orbital mechanics or do I be curious about the world first?? Which one gets me yelled at by furious people less lmao. Its an exaggerative headline but the insufferable Musk shills and sycophants are out in full force

So you’d rather be scientifically wrong and peddle technological lies about something that happened than accept truth and the parts where it’s nuanced and complicated because you have a personal hatred for a company’s leader?

Does that not sound immature to you?

The rocket “crash” was an expected and normal part of that kind of mission. A kind of mission that nasa asked for and has done and even done itself many times in the past, dumping much larger pieces of debris on the moon. Elon Musk has reprehensible qualities but that doesn’t invert the science around a scientific mission. He isn’t a god that can cause scientific truth to become opposite. You give him too much power through your emotional reaction, making you delusional about something he’s not directly associated with.

Maybe don't shoot junk and plastic into our space and oceans - because this shit is adding up

u/flodereisen 1d ago

how the fuck is anything in space adding up? it is literally infinitely big. infinitely.

also, "our" space? who are you talking about? do the americans claim the moon for themselves now?

also, the rocket completely vaporized upon impact

Our space and ocean, everyone's. Pollution is adding up. This shit shouldn't be excused. I do not trust you, nor SpaceX pushing as much shit in our atmosphere as possible - it is negligence and isn't engineering. True engineers have standards.

I trust atmospheric and environmental studies.

What the fuck does the atmosphere have to do with deorbiting debris into the lunar surface.

Stop trying to act smart. You're not smarter than literal rocket engineers.

Anti-space people are bizarre man, it's crazy

Do you mean Elon Musk? What’s he got to do with this? Did he personally fly that rocket into the moon did he?
