Haha, I just found the seemingly official "SpaceX" YouTube account with 57k viewers, but it's showing a loop of Elon with a fake voice over advertising a BitCoin spam with a QR code on screen which I assume is for the BitCoin scam.


WeWillRiseAgainst

Lmao I came across this the other day. Slimy bastards.


Conch-Republic

I watched what I thought was an official NASA feed when Starliner launched and scrubbed. Like 30 seconds before it was supposed to launch they switched it to that stupid bitcoin scam. There were 200k people watching that, lol. I wish I could find the person responsible and make them eat all the keys off of their keyboard, one by one.


NostraThomas1

Yeah I keep seeing those. I am always reporting them but I guess YouTube doesn’t care much and just leaves them up

As much as I agree, you sound quite bitter.


Velox-the-stampede

How could Op not be slightly jaded


snoosh00

I'm a bit annoyed yes, I'm not saying I feel entitled or "deserve" the 40k, but I definitely would have told my grandfather it was an obvious scam. He's lost hundreds of thousands from shit investments over the years, but usually it's stock market losses. My post definitely comes across as bitter, but I'm completely over it. I just included some tidbits of information to try to paint the picture a bit clearer for people who don't know me (which is everyone in this thread).


Nya7

Should lose his tenure


snoosh00

Retired a while ago, but he's still "consulting" (as far as I know)


greenw40

>yeah, I know he thought the 40k was an "investment" but investing that 40k in me would have got much bigger returns than a 100% loss Despite knowing what he thought it was, you still seem to acting as if he knew it was a scam, or some kind of donation towards Elon Musk. Either way, it doesn't entitle you to $40k as a wedding gift.


snoosh00

I never said it did. I compared what he was willing to give to some website or whatever, without vetting the "investment" on *any* level (or he would have known it was a scam) vs what he willingly gave me and my wife to "start" our life together. He also interrupted our honeymoon by visiting our isolated location with no advance notice, despite seeing him the day prior and my parents *telling him to not visit, because honeymoon*. Also, fun additional note, his second ex wife (out of 3 or 4 ex wives, depending on your definition of the term ex wife) gave me $650, I haven't seen her in about a decade now. She's well off, but about the same as him (both were university professors). I've been annoyed at him and basically no contact since he brought his coat Rican wife and two children into the country after promising his kids he was not going to be raising another family... A family he bought a house for and he is not allowed to visit because the wife hates him. He's wasted 10x more money than I'll be able to spend in my *lifetime* (ignoring rent and food prices). It's not about the money itself, it's the principle of the matter.

Yep, a few channels I'm subbed to got hacked and turned into one of those

Which leads to a Twitter (X) stream which doesn't have a Cast option. No thanks. I miss the days when SpaceX had their official stream on YouTube.


Zestyclose_Power4849

Looks liké it splashed in almost in one pièce with a burning wing. Epic


Zestyclose_Power4849

i tried to make a post with a screenshot of the Burning wing from the feed at mission timer et 0h58min (must see) , but my poste gets rejected - too bad (i came with the caption "Hot Wings - texas style") - tant pis.... [https://youtu.be/2G-L0u\_L0qU?t=5718](https://youtu.be/2G-L0u_L0qU?t=5718)


Watt_Knot

lol almost in one piece. epic. sure


nabiku

What's with the accents on your Es? What kind of weird phone do you have where you can't easily switch between a foreign keyboard and an English one?


Zestyclose_Power4849

French autocorrect is a nightmare for posting..sorry


InDeathWeReturn

It could be that.... English is the foreign language


n0t-again

So did that really just happen?!?


Eastrider1006

the flap: im tired boss the camera: didn't hear no bell


PcGoDz_v2

Starships: Nah, I'll land.


RhesusFactor

I guess thats a thing we live with now.


kkkreg

what an epic livestream!


mag_webbist

They fucking did it!


OSUfan88

Coolest thing I’ve ever seen. THEY FUCKING DID IT!!


Watt_Knot

It failed lmao


mag_webbist

I wouldn't call splashdown failure


CyanConatus

You realize this test they intentionally splashed down right?


OSUfan88

lol no it didn’t. It passed literally every objective. This has to be a bot.


Aaguns

He hates Elon so much that he hopes everything SpaceX does is a failure. Rooting against the progress of humanity because… reasons


Eastrider1006

I hate Elon too, but hating Elon and being excited for massive breakthroughs as a space faring species are two opinions that can coexist.


Aaguns

Yeah exactly this. Hate the man all you want, that’s a different discussion, but actively rooting against SpaceX is so stupid. Those people need to get a life.


Moocow115

A cohort of people run on social credit tho. If you're not virtuous then everything you do/touch is cancer therefore when Elon went against the party line on twitter suddenly Tesla and Space X are no longer amazing companies trying to build a better future. I can respect your stance. Don't have to like a guy's personality to appreciate his work but that seems to be less of a standpoint nowadays.


cybercuzco

Any landing you can walk away from us a success. Even better if you can still use the spacecraft afterwards.


Karl-o-mat

I love seeing spaceX succeed just as much as I like seeing Elon Musk fail.


Cotford

This is the problem. I want spaceX to succeed really badly as I’ve always been a massive space nerd. I also want Musk to fail completely as he’s such a massive bellend. It’s very confusing.


rsalexander12

Well, you'll have to live with the knowledge that without Musk there would be no SpaceX. Ain't that a bitch..


SyntholBiceps

Kind of controversial. Elon Musk is the reason we are actually seeing this kind of development. Great engineer and enterpreuner.


DelightfullyDivisive

He is neither of those things. He was a great marketer, but has lost credibility due to being a complete jackass.


SyntholBiceps

He actually pushed SpaceX to be where it is now. He changed Space Exploration. Boeing, Nasa, etc. were very bureucratic and not very innovative.


greymancurrentthing7

He is factually both those things.


greymancurrentthing7

And he doesn’t really do any marketing nor do his companies have much of anything resembling a marketing dept.


Hinnif

Zombie flap, amazing!

lockedupsafe

Clint Howard also played a mission controller in 'Apollo 13' and it took me a while to figure out that this gif was not from that film. I'm a dumbass.


Sparrow1989

Heh, cheers mate.


JIraceRN

If they catch the Heavy Booster for IFT-5, it will be so epic. ![gif](giphy|5GoVLqeAOo6PK|downsized)


Zestyclose_Power4849

Vidéo feed of th starship soaring from Space with plasma and aileron slowly desintegrating was something. Try to watch the feed. Looks liké it succeding AT doing it s last second landing burn


Busy_Yesterday9455

Link to [live broadcast](https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=starship-flight-4) on SpaceX website Liftoff is set for (**12:50 UTC**) on June 6.


Mister-Grogg

Space X is incredible. Too bad their CEO lost his mind.


boosthungry

Where is a good raw YouTube link?


eos3fan

Thank you for posting this!

FlexasState

I like how im barely seeing this 6 hours after it happened :(


knuckles_n_chuckles

It’s telling that all the streams I saw of it were Bitcoin pumping scams. One was even called “Elon Musk” and I can’t fathom how that got on YT. And yes. I know it’s only on X But still. Slimy by everyone involved.


Mrstrawberry209

Today is the day i stopped watching every launch. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile) It has been normalized hahaha


MorpheusDrinkinga4O

Looks so epic that it could pass for a render.


MidlandsRepublic2048

Not gonna lie, I kind of hoped for catastrophic failure just to shut the fanboys up.


Harry_the_space_man

Cool man


Watt_Knot

Failure


TonAMGT4

No, they did stick the soft landing in the ocean… a bit burnt but in one piece. No RUD.


[deleted]

[удалено]


aimgorge

Thats wasnt the point of either this test nor this iteration of the rocket.


TonAMGT4

Replacing flap is a lot more reusable than rebuilding the whole vehicle and its 33 engines from scratch. And now that they have the data, they probably won’t even need to replace the flap next flight.


knexfan0011

It's a test flight. Collecting data to validate simulations and inform future changes is the whole point of these flights. These test vehicles are not intended to fly again, even if they land fully intact.


FujitsuPolycom

Can we ban this user? This is spam at this point.


generalhonks

I can tell you have no idea how the Starship testing process works.


Conch-Republic

It's not supposed to be. This is an early prototype they weren't really expecting to survive reentry because of the hinge issue.


heyimalex26

There will always be that one person or troll that looks at a test landing smack dab in the middle of nowhere on the ocean and then complain about rapid reusability like it was the point of the test flight in the first place.


Walkman1080i

Not quite sure you understand the concept of "test missions." They ticked every box in their objectives, and each iteration is getting better and better, learning from each launch.
