What if i become a rocket scientist?
What if?
I would be considered cool right? I should probably do something about this thought.
Ask me in 5 years if I am doing anything related to rocket science.

To say I’m tired would be an understatement! A Halloween walk downtown from 4-6 and trick-or-treating from 6-8 all over my town. My son, niece, and nephew had a blast though!
I’ve got like 6 anons asking what my son was for Halloween. He wanted to be a NASA rocket scientist. I have no doubt that he will be just that when he gets older.
I’m thankful that almost everyone knows that Coit has autism and are just as excited as he is to talk about his costume and space!

I need a series with rocket scientists as the protagonists who start a youtube channel called #notrocketscience where they do all kinds of mundane things and fail

let me talk about SpaceX and rockets for a second
because while I don't give a flying fuck about musk
yesterday's (20/04/2023) launch was a succes. The point was to get it in the air, anything more was extra. It was a test flight. Every rocket goes through this process.
SpaceX is not bad at making rockets, there are a lot of very skilled scientists involved and rockets are constantly being reused etc. technology has been rapidly improving this field.
This is new technology and it is being tested. As I have said before, this happens and has happened for every rocket. With NASA, with Rocketlab with SpaceX, any company you can think of.
The scientists now have a lot of data they can use to improve the rocket where things went wrong.
This was a test flight, nothing was on board, this is a testing phase and this is new development. This was the first time that the full stack was tested in flight. I am speaking for the scientists here because they are the actual key to this. They've (scientists in this field in general) made some incredible forward steps in the last years.
It's probable that the explosion was planned to some extent and likely that it was absolutely expected to happen.
Yes you can laugh at the explosion, yes it looks hilarious I can appreciate the memes a lot please continue.
But do realise that this did not go wrong and this is a positive for the scientists that work on it.

Maybe it wasn’t such a bad assumption for Stolas to think he could get away with spelling out B-I-T-C-H in front of Stella when referring to her. ;) I think Andrealphus at this point might try something similar if he needed to. XD
