SpaceX will launch the mammoth Starship on Sunday in a launch window that opens at 5 AM PST (7 AM local time) from the company’s Starbase site in southeast Texas. This flight, which will be the fifth in the Starship development program, is coming a little sooner than expected: the Federal Aviation Administration had previously said that it did not anticipate issuing a modified launch license for this test before late November.

    It’s also an irrelevant.

    Humanity can do two things at the same time, we always have been able to. So to say we shouldn’t do thing X because thing Y is still a problem is fundamentally misunderstanding how progress works. If you genuinely think along those lines then we probably shouldn’t be making video games either because climate change is still a problem.

      I say we stop doing home cooking channels. There are enough recipes. That energy needs to go to fighting climate change.
