remember when marissa mayer cancelled the yahoo work-from-home program, which was heavily used by women with small children, for all employees and then when she got pregnant she had a private nursery constructed next to her office

that was a thing she did

i've been assuming its a "boilerplate" or test fit article like the wooden space shuttle they have on display in huntsville but apparently they're going to use it for engine tests? outdoors doesn't seem like a good idea for that.

It's unlikely to be capable of functioning as a water tower, but it's being built by a contractor that builds water towers.

there's a reason why real rockets aren't shiny foil monstrosities and it's because it becomes very difficult to see what the hell the thing is doing with a camera if it's all symmetrical and shiny, that's why the saturn V had all those black bits on it and even the original shiny atlas launches had a bunch of paint added to the second stage and fairing.

good luck figuring out why the drat thing broke apart 100nmi downrange after the telemetry cut out when all you have on camera is a sun glare, assholes

i'm glad we got confirmation that he does in fact gently caress on the tesla factory floor and that any teslas on the market are probably contaminated with his gross old man cum
