The space shuttle was also big and reusable. It did not have issues like these during development.

~~Apollo 9~~ Apollo 8 went to the moon but they had multiple test flights prior to that numbering. Those are a more reasonable point of comparison.
Edit: I misremembered the number.
spacex is also not starting from zero. They previously made the falcon 9.
No they can't. This is what's happened every time trump tried to cut state funding. Courts don't let the feds overstep their powers over states by threatening funding. Courts have ruled very consistently on this.
Just for comparison, on their 9th test flight the Apollo program they had already successfully reached orbit 5 times.
The 9th test flight of the Soyuz was their 7th time reaching orbit.
Elon's 9th attempt is his second time reaching the bottom of the Indian ocean. Shows the level of proficiency in spacex.
It's just germany and scandinavia apparently. Not sure exactly why but B-flat and B-Natural are written as B and H. I've heard many explanations that are all a bit different. Something to do with music history. They just have different names.
I kinddd of didn't notice the questions when I wrote that other comment. Here goes!
I had a very rare beef roast last night. It was the perfect thing for a family get together. Also red wine.
I want to bake a cake. I'm wanting a light vanilla chiffon cake with strawberries. I have all the ingredients I simply lack the motivation. I'll make a wellington some day when the ocassion calls for it.
Right now I'm not hungry. I'm just laying in bed working up the courage to get up and stop doomscrooling and/or cutescrolling as the case may be. Will have a glass of water and an E pill soon™.
I'm knitting a pretty pretty sundress. I want to get back to that. It's occupying most of my thoughts right now.
I'm already grown up. So... I guess retired? I did get the career I wanted, but success didn't make me happy.
I don't really want to be known. Modern society puts way too much emphasis on notable people. Trying to be known for things is a recipe for disappointment, as most people are unnotable. With time I've learned that any desire to be famous or notable was societal peer pressure, and I'm much happier doing my thing quietly.
Trans people are most important.
I don't care many things. Trying to list them would take more mental effort than they deserve, because I genuinely don't care.
I care about quiet. I live in the loudest country with loud people, a country that builds the loudest possible infrastructure. Every business and public place will have a sound system playing music constantly. Every restaurant has hard surfaces everywhere with no sound dampening because loud sounds busy. Quiet spaces are the most pleasant thing.
Haiiiii Smortyyyy!!!!
I'm going to try making pfannkuchen, sounds good.
Plain HTML is best. The web would be so much better and faster if most of it was just HTML and CSS. Scripts are a net negative to the web in my experience.
Music theory fun fact, outside of Germany, the note H does not exist. It's weird I don't know we manage with one less note, but somehow we do!
also gex
You'll get there! In my experience slower than you'd hope but faster than you'd expect.

Yes, probably. Its likely enough that the article ends with:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta said last week they'll sue once he does.
competent AGs rarely file cases they don't believe they can win.
According to the 10th amendment, the federal government can only regulate in areas specifically designated by the constitution. The feds can regulate interstate commerce, but not intrastate commerce. Though at times, courts have interpreted interstate very broadly.
Federal statutes gave california a waver to set their own emissions regulations. This law would remove those so it would be up to a court to decide if the feds have that authority.
starship's payload to orbit is zero. No matter what is promised, a rocket that can only deliver payloads destructively to the bottom of the indian ocean is not a valuable launch vehicle. There are far more cost effective ways of making artificial reefs.
If you've followed elon musk's projects you would know that the only thing he knows how to do is over-promise and under-deliver. It would be incredible if the things he's promised happened, but none of them ever do. This starship will not be the exception.
