SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight.
If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the Moon.
ALT Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, wearing his spacesuit, descends the ladder of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, a large structure with golden foil covering its lower half. The Moon's surface is bright and flat; above the horizon, which slopes downward from right-to-left, the sky is completely black. Credit: NASA

Extreme bureaucratic regulatory oppression and wealth confiscation (moving capital allocation from highly competent entrepreneurs to incompetent government) is why Europe has been economically slowly strangled over the past few decades!
Fools like this guy do not understand that they are the cause of Europe’s pain.
There no wealth to reallocate when they prevent it from being created in the first place.

This is a simple matter of incentives.
Illegals, both illegally and eventually legally, vote for the party that supports illegals, which is the Democratic Party.
Democrat activists will therefore fight like hell to keep them in the country, as it is their path to power.

It doesn’t matter if actors don’t like it.
It doesn’t matter if writers don’t like it.
It doesn’t matter if liberal or conservative politicians cry and whine about it. It doesn’t matter how much Elizabeth Warren shrieks about it.
It doesn’t matter if you personally think it’s a good or bad thing.
This is America. Transactions aren’t decided by public outrage or popular vote. They’re decided by two parties who willingly agree, and as long as the deal is legal.
The only thing that matters to regulators if Netflix can buy Warner Bros is if it creates a monopoly, which it clearly does not. Even at the largest estimate they would have 30% market share. Thats not to count the likes of TikTok and YouTube which is growing much faster than Netflix.
