No offense, but then your first statement is a bit irrelevant, don’t you think?

Obviously people here will work past 55, as the retirement age in Europe is somewhere between 60 and 68, depending on the actual country.

Not saying seniors are living it large here, but I would be appalled to see an 80yo (have to) work as a delivery-person

But what’s the statistic for people aged 65 and above?

Despite living in a country where cash is practically non-existent (Netherlands), this is my reason for keeping a cash-jar.

This is nonsense.

In Western/Central Europe and Scandinavia, smaller families are the norm, yet nobody sees 80 year old people working.

This is entirely the fault of unchained capitalism, corruption and half a century of lobbying against the working class.

DO IT

It is the largest, most capable rocket ever to be built - all while cracking the holy grail of full reusability.

In terms of ambition, nothing really compares.

It has nothing to do with science, it’s Engineering.

The upper stage exploding is of course not ideal, but it does so on a suborbital trajectory, meaning everything will fall back down to Earth, into the ocean. (these still being test-launches with certain risks is the whole reason they’re choosing not to go fully orbital yet)

In terms of materials, it’s mostly just stainless steel, there is no pollution from it.

Don’t avocados have an insane ecological footprint?

Native speakers, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s either “how is it”, or “what is it like”, but not “how is it like”.

No offense to OP!

God this title is so dumb.

Yes, fuck Elon Musk. That doesn’t mean Starship isn’t still the most exciting topic in rocketry/spaceflight, and 100x more ambitious than what any other rocket manufacturer is attempting.

The Starship development cycle is hardware-rich, they have a literal conveyor belt full of rockets in various stages of completion for testing.

Their immediate goal isn’t to go to orbit, they could have done that a long time ago. They’re simultaneously testing hundreds of little to big changes to the vehicles with every launch. Stuff will go wrong along the way.

Planning and visualisation.

I feel like what is described in the first Dune book - an animal.

I only react, I don’t plan, and I can only really empathize with something/someone if I experience it myself.

Also, I can’t cry, not without some cheesy ass music playing in some really sad scene in a movie/show.

What a traitor

Had a date and we talked about things we like to do.

I mentioned that I had recently discovered that the local cinema chain offers classic movies, and that I had watched the original Jurassic Park, still fawning over it like the first time I watched it in 1993.

She said that the movie is a cute story, but “dinosaurs aren’t real. Fossils aren’t real. They’re props, placed by them.”

I nearly choked on my burger.

The date didn’t last long after.

This is the most important part.

Funny how their “marxist” ideas are and have been implemented in Europe for 80+ years.
