Hey everyone! Important announcement:
I'm officially accepting commissions + I've opened a @buymeacoffee where you can support me if you really like my art. Supporters can request small commissions or share ideas for future projects.
Check it out at: buymeacoffee.com/sunlike
i would like to announce that i'm building a fully reusable SHLV: the shitfuck-500. it should launch from my backyard net tomorrow.
its just a bunch of metal tubes welded together, how hard can it be?
anyway, here's my first very accurate technical render:
This clearly illustrates that they're planning a launch cadence of up to four CZ-10 launches per year, which, after 2029, would likely translate into two crewed lunar landings per year.
That's just as ambitious as NASA's current plans for Artemis.
Holy

Mf do you KNOW what laws he broke??? He used a government agency to steam peoples private data and then cut funding to USAID leading to the deaths of as little as 700 THOUSAND people (mostly kids).
This had nothing to do with fucking spaceX.
can someone please make an inverted version of this meme where everything is nice thoughts and rainbows? thank you
This dude is fucking pathetic lol
Elon isn't a politician.
Gebbia isn't a politician, Fauci isn't a politician, people who work for the government aren't politicians.
Elon didn't lose his mind nor did he choose to become a politician (he isn't). He also doesn't spend most of his time on politics. He was the head of a successful initiative that was sadly attacked from all sides. Some people even attacked other people or property who were not even related to anything DOGE.
He was attacked by real politicians because it was so successful in doing its job.
Elon is simply a person who devotes his undivided attention to whatever thing is blocking progress the most at the time.
And at that time, there was a clear blocker. The government at the time was very clear about it too. Stop Elon and his companies in whatever way you can.
Luckily for him, America is a great country, and he can do something about it. Does that suddenly mean he needs to be investigated like crazy?
Why are we not seeing Bloomber being investigated? Or Hoffman? Or Horrowitz? Or Soros?
It doesn't matter what they investigate anyways, it's ultra clear that it is simply "show me the man, I'll show you the crime"
Elon is SpaceX best asset, similar for Tesla. Investors know this, people who follow the company know this, people with 2 braincells know this! It's only those that are blinded by hatred that want to see something else.
Anyways, it all doesn't matter too much. Tesla succeeded in it's goal of transitioning the world to electric transport, SpaceX made space affordable. The next steps will be even crazier and I'm here for it.
These accounts feeding half of Nigeria with this slop is one of the most unexpected consequences of the AI Boom I could think of.

One of my next projects in my to-do list is a series of next gen rockets as Orion Launch Vehicles.
New Glenn, Vulcan, Terran R, Starship, etc.
There is a tiny but comically interesting chance of Artemis IV getting delayed to 2029 and China hitting their current goal, resulting in both nations landing on the Moon just days apart.
It seems like China could actually land on the Moon in 2029 if further delays don't screw up progress with these new goals.
They have abandoned the plan for the Apollo 8 type mission in 2028 with Mengzhou in low lunar orbit with a new milestone timeline of unmanned Mengzhou flights on CZ-10A to Tiangong --> manned flights on CZ-10A to Tiangong --> unmanned test flights to the Moon with tricore CZ-10 --> their first manned landing
Lots of people think that SpaceX has to develop the clamshell door to start launching larger payload into space, but this is simply not true.
They could take the pez door and make it taller while keeping the same opening mechanism, a 7×7 m door could accommodate 99% of payloads.
Here the question is if is worth it for SpaceX to launch less Starlink/Starshields/Starmind/Starfall satellites in exchange for a third-party payload.
The answer probably depends on the specific payload, but my bet is that this will be common enough to justify this mix.
