   I’m a bit saddened this thread has so little activity, 55 comments as of posting, here even though there are half a million people watching the spacex stream. Just watching the launch, the amount of technology and people involved is incredible.

   Prompting claude 5.5 has more appeal it seems.

      I'm watching in awe and not worrying about the malcontents that can't leave their politics at the door and celebrate genuine achievement.

         The challenge is launching things into orbit is politics, aka how humans should organize society.

         So it's hard to leave that out. It's genuine achievement and it's politics, both.

            This is nonsense, obviously, but is a perfect validation of his point. Well done and enjoy the show!

               Everything is political, even your stance that it isn’t

                  A ridiculous claim. The cry of an infant is political? My houseplant? Fixing a buffer overflow?

                     Not everything but way more things than most people want to admit because so many of us have collapsed "political" into meaning "partisan."
