@silent.link I’ve used their services, no complaints.
Don’t be a puddle fish…
This is what will matter 1000 years from now.
Not your politics. Not your stupid tantrums about who platformed who on some website. Not your incomprehensible desire to send NASA's entire budget to the third world.
This guy reignited the Space Age.
He spent his own money, hired a bunch of dudes, and reignited the Space Age. And together, they underbid and outdid NASA and its pet dinosaur corporations on every conceivable level.
This is history happening before you.
If you are a puddlefish, if you think this is a wasteful showpiece or science project, then you don't understand physics, economics, astronomy, or in fact the basic layout of the universe you live in.
We live in a tiny puddle at the bottom of a well.
Out there is an entire universe, full not only of stuff to explore, but full of stuff to build things out of.
Big things. Wonderful things. Things that are going to make all of the cool stuff you have today, all of human civilization to date look like early Assyrians writing stuff down on wet clay with a reed.
Infinite resources. Infinite energy. Infinite space.
Instead of fighting over little patches of land, we will have an infinite 3d volume. Enclose it in steel, pump it full of air, spin it, and it's a habitat.
Instead of scratching tiny scraps of metal out of the crust of one planet, we will break down entire asteroids and smelt them.
Instead of drilling for hydrocarbons and turning water wheels, we will harness entire suns, split the atom, and eventually draw our fuel from the substance that makes up 99% of the entire universe.
None of your local, temporal Earth politics matter compared to this. This is more important than pride parades and abortions, more important than tribal conflicts in eastern Europe and southwest Asia, more important than tensions with Russia and China.
More important, in the long run, than the United States of America.
America's most important function, its one most vital purpose, is to serve as an incubator for this.
Because this changes everything.
All of our arguments about conditions on this planet become obsolete, because the whole planet becomes just one suburban neighborhood.
All of our wars over resources and territory become obsolete, because no one has time to brawl when we're all sitting on top of a dragon horde with sacks and shovels.
Everyone who was alive at the time remembers where they were when Kennedy died in Dallas. When the towers fell. When the Eagle landed. When the Wall came down.
But this... this is the real moment, one of the first of many. They are what every child will know about a thousand years from now, even if they have four arms and are genetically engineered for zero-g, or are sentient blocks of code running on a sphere of computronium enclosing an entire star.
You may not live to see that, depending on what we do or don't invent, and when.
But it will happen, and you will live to see wonderful things.
If the puddlefish don't get in the way.
Don't be a puddlefish.

GN, I’m off to dream of distant galaxies…✨ #space
Look at the bright side, we probably wouldn’t have discovered Bitcoin if it wasn’t for the lack of freedom!?
What’s the greatest compliment you could receive?
It’s the reality we live in at the moment. So much friction. I’m trying to find the simplest solution for my circumstances. I’ll get there but it shouldn’t be this hard to build anything.
Here’s to a future in Space! ✨
I really want to start a business that helps my community and accepts Bitcoin here in Germany but there is so much bullshit bureaucracy and I feel like I’d just be feeding the monster at this stage. 😏
I think perhaps my energy would be better put to use elsewhere…
GM. Humans are incredible! 🚀✨

I trimmed and cropped my favorite video of the Starship booster landing; enjoy!
🙏🏻😃💜🫂💖😆👍🚀🔥💯

Incredible! I cry every time…it might be my pregnancy hormones or it might be humans making history! 🥲
SpaceX caught its rocket booster mid-air on its first try 😳
This is the first time anyone has accomplished such a feat, marking one of the most significant engineering achievements in human history.

So incredible to watch it live! 🥲
Have you watched Free Solo? Highly recommend, incredible demonstration of human strength and focus!
Finally coming back to life…and then baby waved on the first scan! 🧡 It’s been a better week, a great week even. 🙏
Breaking records at the moment…8h 45m average…🫣 Schändlich…I also have auto lock on after 10 seconds. I’m mainly reading and watching YouTube as I’m on bed rest suffering from Hyperemesis gravidarum.🤰🤢 Anyone got recommendations for what to read/watch please? 🫠
