Nobody:

The literally only impressive thing about SpaceX Starship test is that it shows how incredibly dumb the audience is at this point.

People keep comparing Starship to SaturnV, because tentatively, if it ever became a space worthy vessel and orbital delivery vehicle (it's not); it'd be the largest and most powerful one in history, with SaturnV its only near peer (sorry, N-1, you really didn't qualify).

And the first "integration test vehicle" (read: the actually whole complete thing, that's literally the point of that kind of test; it's meant to be all the pieces, already tested and proven on their own, finally assembled into the final thing to make sure everything plays nice when together)

So lets see how did Saturn family development go in comparison? How many "integration test vehicles" did the Saturn project obliterate in the process?

ZERO. They blew up ZERO Saturn first stages, ZERO Saturn second stages, and ZERO Saturn payloads.

It's not fucking normal to blow up rockets this size and complexity, because they're expensive and dangerous! You build SMALLER, SIMPLER prototypes, you test those, you do all the "risky" tests on your separate parts of the system, and test the integration at less ambitious scales and stress levels. That's how you do rocket science. Iteratively, yes! But the iterations must make sense!

And let me stress

They got Saturn to moon and back in the SIXTIES, when simulation was in diapers (partially, literally invented within projects like the Saturn series).

SpaceX exists at a time where they can (and should) do 90% of the raw, grueling development with lot of painful failures in digital simulations, or tests where you build a small, simple thing and enhance the simulation based on what you learned there.

And the worst of it all is that another thing that Elongated Muskrat has at this disposal is all of the Saturn research. It's been DONE.

Saturn and other projects paved the worst of this goddamn slog. They did all the dirty, awful work already. They literally gave us the textbooks that you study from if you actually get a science degree (Elon does not have one).

And again, the most embarrassing thing isn't Musk and his poor, toxic, overworked circus that's SpaceX. The most embarrassing thing is the "space science enthusiast" crowd that's cheering on this launch as some sort of tentative success.

The king is fucking ass goddamn naked, and you all yes-men are an embarrassment to this doomed goddamn species. You're not supporting the effort to give Humanity a "chance at survival", you're hooting and hollering around a basementman dumpster fire that's literally immolating what's left of the scraps of natural and human resources we have left.

I love the designs. The colors are nice and the cuts really suit the models.

Caitlyn: The estranged sister is fine af, why wouldn't I break her out?

Caitlyn, later:

It’s kind of funny to think that Caitlyn’s plan was to just interview the tattoo goon from the airship about who he worked for and then a few days later ended up neck deep in the family drama of the single mind behind the Undercity’s organized crime that she was looking for, his mentally ill daughter who HATES her, and her estranged sister who is a prisoner that Caitlyn broke out of jail when she couldn’t interview tattoo goon because said estrange sister broke his jaw.

Leading to Caitlyn breaking the estrange sister out of prison only to learn she is a highly regarded figure in the Undercity due to her and her sister’s adopted father being the former mob boss in charge. However, he was killed by the current mob boss after said prisoner’s sister severely injured their adopted father and killed their two brothers in an attempt to save her family by using the Hextech crystals they stole from Caitlyn’s family’s beneficiary and really her only friend from the current mob boss’s first human-shimmer monster.

And all of THIS essentially boils down to a shouting match between the mob boss and sister fighting over who loves the insane teenage girl more, despite the fact that she has kidnapped all of them and has made it very clear that she is a very dangerous and unstable individual.

Oh, and this family drama will have major consequences for not just the Undercity, but Piltover and a good chunk of the world; because said mentally ill teenage girl is a genius who figured out Hextech and created a shark rocket and has just fired it at the council, because she has once again accidently killed her father and now Caitlyn’s mom is definitely going to die, because Caitlyn didn’t want to shoot the mentally ill teenager because Caitlyn is falling for her sister.

And again, all Caitlyn wanted to do was interview some random thug and prove herself as a detective and now she has untold amounts of trauma to deal with.

Caitlyn: I’m going to interview this prisoner and prove myself as a detective.

BTS V (Taehyung) said purple symbolises his brotherly love for his members and gratitude for Army ( their fandom ) as the youngest member said it was his favourite colour. Then the ace community used it in the same context of friendship and sibling love and that's how 💜 caught on.

wait what's the contextual difference between ❤️ and 💜

Hi.

This author is a friend of mine and I would heavily appreciate if you read their work. The effort they've put into writing this story is phenomenal. You can also find all sorts of updates on this story on their blog @midnight-favours-the-meek

Hi, I’m Ivy Curtain. I’m a writer who focuses on worldbuilding in contemporary fantasy. You can read my current novel, Midnight Favours The Meek on Wattpad and soon on AO3. It is a story about religious trauma, magic, love and finding happiness. I will update it every second week.

On this blog you can find extra content like the Mythology of the Patruh, artwork of characters or snippets before a new chapter will be published. No spoilers though.

A cursed bride, trying to make her family proud.

An outlaw still fighting for his people.

A diplomat looking to repay an old dept.

And a teen who seeks to finally break the cycle.

They won't find what they looking for and yet so much more.

The Patruh, last of the magical peoples, live among us humans in secret. Since ancient times they are hunted by a Christian secret society. Only in dreams they can be themselves and use their powers, in the magical city of Alasma.

Balria is the youngest daughter of the High priestess, looking for a betrothed in the high society of Patruh, when she gets cursed by the Goddess of the Lost. She has to appease the Goddess or find a way to lift the curse before anyone notices, or the reputation of her family is destroyed forever. Balria teams up with faithless outsider Tojas to find a break for her curse. But Tojas seems to have a motive of his own, a bold or reckless plan. And a heart for Balria.

Together, they uncover a secret that will shatter the very concept of magic.
