`Nemesis posted:The one that blew up is a whole new prototype model, it’s not being used for the NASA launch. I was an aerospace engineer earlier in my life. One of the great things that SpaceX has done for rocketry is get us back to a place where it's ok to build and fly prototypes that fail. For a long, long time, a single failure was the kiss of death for an otherwise promising vehicle. It had to do with budgets, costs, and political fear associated with failures. From an engineering standpoint there's a lot to be said for building it, breaking it, learning from why it broke, and building it better afterwards. That's what prototypes are for.

A public space agency has to answer to a congressional committee and angry taxpayers every time rocket goes boom instead of zoom. As a result, we’ve gotten used to failures being extraordinary. You can learn an absolute ton by iterating quickly on a design and allowing for catastrophic failures to happen as part of the development process. A lot of engineering and science gets done this way, but it’s boring, not usually televised, or fails in such an ordinary way that nobody cares. It might seem sloppy and wasteful but the material cost of the vehicle is pretty slim compared to the cost of the engineers who put it together. That’s not to say that there’s no shad here. A big public failure right before your first manned mission is not great.

If you're in any kind of research and development and you aren't occasionally breaking things sometimes spectacularly as long as nobodys getting hurt you aren't doing enough research and development. You can totally destroy prototypes of just about anything safely and learn a ton from it. Really you learn more from failures than you do from successes most of the time. Also wanna just add that Elon sucks.

If anyone else was having issues with twitter embeds just showing up as a text link, there's a very short thread in QCS about it where people said it was due to trying to block Twitter's non-content bullshit. I just had to whitelist syndication.twitter.com in my PiHole and now embeds are working for me again.

Only shares a partial name. When they affiliated with the Salt Lake Tribune they had put out disclaimers that they aren't associated in any way with Fox news just so they didn't lose readers.
