Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

It didn’t crash...

Post by Greynomad »

Elon Musk’s SpaceX tested a prototype Mars rocket yesterday.
Its return to the launchpad ended in a fireball.
Musk’s attitude is still positive.
He is quoted as saying that “fuel header tank pressure was low, leading to a higher than desirable landing speed & RUD.”
For those of us not up-to-speed on our acronyms, a RUD is a ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly’...
In layman’s words: an explosion. 😊👍
Regards & God bless,
