    what i want to know is where is this rocket originally supposed plan to be going?

    if we can see half of this ejected this low. why are we expecting the other half to go any farther? 🤔

    i mean like if half of it ejected 50-100 miles up. (even if i think its lower than that, bcoz i dont think we can capture this good video quality with 50-100 miles up but lets do say thats what happened in this video) but how far can the other half go?

    surely it cant be over another 50-100 or so miles right? realizing with lesser engine equipment or perhaps gas it can hold to boost further in what the other half left.

    and even if it does say go another 500 or 1000 miles up (which i think is impossible but) considering its weight is much less since its ejection and all

    but my question is. what are they really trying to accomplish here? where do they plan to go? how far really is this perhaps test can reach up?

    i mean the moon alone is over 200,000 miles and nearly 300,000 miles up as per science (though i dont believe its accurate) but still it dont make sense whats all this rocket is for?

    Don't give a dam when a little rich boys toys break , when his money could be put into something more worthwhile, like half the world's children are starving and illness is killing them , hate space projects as it is this takes the piss and they say it wasn't failure as it was just a test , yes a test failure worth millions, any wonder the Americans are the most hated nation on this planet, any luck in future hope they move to Mars the world will be a bit more civilised 😡🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    So many launches it’s not new to the Florida residents that see this activity every months in the coast I live in the east coast of Florida for 11 years and always saw launches same thing their telling us that it is for some kind of better communication service if some internet.

    It is what they tell us not what we need to know. There’s is something else going on out there that we don’t need to know just like they announced the 6 military branch of Space Force…:
    We probably are living in a Star Wars reality now what a catchy name Star Wars not Stop wars

    It was never a test flight.. They tried to break the firmament but it's impossible.. You can see it's water in the firmament… It's funny how they're always trying to break the firmament but forget that God put it there and it'll never be broken and they know it but many are so blinded by nasa such that they can't see it…

    No disrespect meant, Mr. Musk is an obviously brilliant individual. Would it be possible for his next launch to occur o!n 4th of July ? It would be icing on the proverbial cake!

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
