Launch 1: [Kaboom!]
Launch 2: [Kaboom!]
Launch 3: [Tumbles, then Kaboom!]

Interesting that a person who 'designs rockets' wont set foot anywhere near his own designs much less board one, isn't it? Fills you with "*Confidence*" in an AlternativeFacts™ kind of way..

Meanwhile he's wasted $67million here, $90million there, each launch, all while gutting aid agencies of a few million to "**save money** wink wink"...

Labour - futile gestures - after all a £35 brick is an enormous overhead on a new house and Starmer, Reeves and MacSweeney would like to be aid by developers...

Labour blocks proposal for ‘swift bricks’ in all new homes.

Providing every new home with at least one “swift brick” to help endangered cavity-nesting birds has been rejected by Labour at the committee stage of its increasingly controversial planning bill.

A Swift brisk - one that has an opening and a cavity for breeding birds with playing cards laid out on the top that illustrate the birds that use them.

Trump has been a business tycoon wannabe, billionaire wannabe, mobster wannabe, tough guy wannabe, presidential wannabe … now he’s a dictator wannabe.

Trump has been a punchline and a wannabe all of his life and no amount of bullying or lying about him being successful will bring Trump the respect and legitimacy that he desperately craves.

This is an important read highlighting so many of the problems facing using AI to accelerate science. Hyped results hide failures or inappropriate comparisons that undercut the actual value of what has been discovered. It takes proper researchers a lot of time to describe where the gung-ho aifficionados took short cuts or were just wrong.
