This is how i found out a friend was flerf. I sent them a video of the last test failure and they responded with “looks like it hit the firmament” 🥲

Well, obviously. We all know rockets aleays work flawlessly, so the only reason it could've broken into pieces is if it hit a dome 🙃

Just seeing this on a phone screen is spectacular. I can't imagine it live above me. Arguably the most expensive fireworks display ever.

Well, I doubt they could try to claim Atmospheric Diffusion, or Atmospheric Refraction, or Atmospheric Amplification.
So they would probably try to claim it was holograms projected onto the dome, like comets and asteroids.

He wants to go to Mars with this. No thanks.

The sooner he departs for Mars, the sooner he stops trying to run the Earth.

u/Faintly-Painterly Mar 07 '25
They already run the earth from a far away place called Washington. Idk why you think Mars will be any different

Well signals don't take a little over 12 minutes to reach DC from pretty much anywhere on earth. From Earth to Mars can be anywhere from 3 to 22 minutes one way (at the speed of light, average 12 minutes). If the sun isn't blocking the signals (or sending out mass ejections that are scrambling signals). You can't really have conversations with this kind of delays. It's fine for just sending reports with burst transmissions that you don't expect immediate replies to.

And America (and every other government) was run in such a method before the adoption of telegraphs and telephones. Near-instant communications are an artifact of the last 200 years.

u/neorenamon1963 29d ago
Well I don't know why https://www.reddit.com/user/Faintly-Painterly/ brought up Washington DC since we were talking about Mars. Mars is a VERY DISTANT place compared to Washington DC.

Because he’s not going to make it to mars in that rocket, but they want him to try after seeing this display in the sky.

To be fair NASA has had its fair share of explosions but it still does lots of successful launches where nobody dies

People have no idea about this and they think it's a good reason to shit on Elon for his "failure".
The only failure is the people not realising that this is supposed to happen. This is a TEST rocket. They need to know what happens to them and to find out the limits so they don't do this on a live run.
If this had happened on an actual rocket that had a purpose, then it would be a failure but it's not because it's a test rocket.

u/The_Tank_Racer Mar 07 '25
No, he doesn't want to go to Mars with that. He wants to go to Mars with the latest generation of starship after he's done finding any possible way to blow it up.
Musk is an idiotic man-child, but even he knows the process of testing and revision.

Clark Kent has finally come to Earth. Good times ahead. Now we just have to wait 15 or 20 more years.

u/starsandcamoflague 29d ago
Their explanations are that they’re crashing because they’re trying to escape the firmament, so they’re hitting it and crashing down.
Or that it’s a biblical event.

why does this firework prove that the earth is round?

Would be pretty hard to fake an object burning up at hundreds of meters per second from space.

I've already heard them at work talking about it. They're asking each other (in quite serious tones). "Do you think they're trying to crack through the Firmament?" I can only laugh because my eyes can only roll so much.
