I'm so proud that a Subaru scientific instrument has captured a blue spiral thingy over the skies of Hawaii.. it may be an after glow from a FA20 expiring but who knows...

More "inner space" thing... Will our boxer engines sound more like the "real" boxers now that earth's core is slowing down and reversing its spin?

As I recall NASA went to extreme lengths to keep the Saturn 5 from destroying its launch pad. It looks like SpaceX is just letting things rip. I wonder how the support structure fared during this.

Also, folks I know who live on South Padre Island complained about the noise and vibrations from the 3 engine StarShip tests. This must make life on SPI interesting.

Boosters always look like toys to me until they are positioned relative to something common for scale, then they’re fucking huge!

I also end up wondering how many marshmallows could be toasted at once and at what distance would they stop being instantly disintegrated. Monkey brain like huge fireball!

Same here. I knew it was big, but didn't full realize the scale until I saw photos like this one...
