Are You Ever Going To Admit I Was Right About Starship And Super Heavy?
Nearly 10 years after I raised concerns about a rockets design choice, I feel I’ve been vindicated in those concerns and, while I know I’ll never get it, request an apology.
Space Industry Fanboys, Credibility Claims, And Cherry Picking – Dissecting A Twitter Discussion
Yesterday proved to be a bit interesting for me on Twitter. I was giving my own comments on the Delta IV launch yesterday, one of which was my typical congratulations tweet to United Launch Alliance, the operators of Delta IV, and the CEO of the company, Tory Bruno. At the end, though, I left a […]
