Somehow the author of the article discussed how liquid methane and liquid oxygen would be dangerous to touch.... Without mentioning that it would absolutely not be present
> The agency also said that, before the test flight launched, it required SpaceX to map out “hazard areas sufficient to ensure that the probability of casualty to a member of the public on land or on board a maritime vessel does not exceed one in one million.”
The way this is worded makes it sound like it could be a one in a million chance separately for every individual. So for example if the chance is exactly one in a million per person, then the probability of someone in a town of 1000 people dying would be one in a thousand, and the statistical expectation of having a city of 1M people in the “Debris Response Area” is that one person would die.
I hope my reading is wrong. Can someone correct me - is the rule that the total probability of any 1 person in total dying is 1:1000000 or less, or is it really per-person? For context about why 1:1000000 per person is pretty bad, that’s almost as risky as skydiving (1:370000 per jump) and much riskier than driving in a car.
I feel like I’m okay with “rapid iterative development” when the company assumes any and all risks, and takes responsibility for any & all failures. It seems to be crossing a line if the risks are externalized to the public & national agencies, especially when the risks aren’t fully communicated or when veto choice is not given to everyone involved, right?
CNNs new paywall essentially locks up Firefox on iOS.
Once their paywall pops up, I cannot do anything with the app except swipe left to go back. The Firefox menu is inaccessible as are any other features of the browser.
This is the most hostile UI I have seen in years; and I will quickly learn to never click any CNN link.
Related: a long podcast talking about the issues with starship locally: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/32-spacex-wastewater-l... (from https://deceleration.news/podcast/ ) , also https://deceleration.news/spacex-is-colonizing-south-texas-e...
So many words to say: spaceX clean up your sh*t. It's fair ask. But it's also spreading "concerns" with little justification to do reputational damage to a public figure.

Starship broke up in beautiful rainbow.
Souvenirs- get your piece of starship now
No mention of visitors from foreign adversaries doing a bit of beach combing?
I imagine SpaceX will clean the debris as much as possible. No pun intended.
Since when is CNN paywalled?!?
[dead]
This is hilariously common, but because SpaceX is involved, the media spotlight is centered on it.
(No other opinions implied or denied btw, just my observation)
