🏆 'Almost magic': SpaceX's Starship 🚀 Flight 15 makes history, catching upper stage from orbit [first 100% reusable spacecraft]

This post is as stupid as it is ignorant. Exploring Antartica is well within our capabilities, it's just not economically feasible to do so yet, no money in it.

A self sustaining colony on the moon is far off but we just got closer to realising it.

It is a point often highlighted by scientists after Steven Weinberg (the architect of electroweak unification, for which he won the Nobel prize) first made the comparison in his classic popular science work.

But you do you.

That is a total non answer to my point. You just name dropped Weinberg after a quick Google search, so yeah, rather then answer my point about the economics of space flight v Polar exploration you find yourself in a pickle and run off.

talk about cutting it close..the rocket was falling at around 200mph (325km/h) and wasn't even completely vertical until it was at the tower itself...not much margin for error.

While this is a terrific engineering feat, let us not get carried away.

Humans haven't even conquered or colonized Antarctica yet. And comparatively, Antarctica is a heavenly paradise as opposed to the moon or Mars.

Building a self sustaining colony on the moon or mars will remain a pipe dream, when we cannot even do so in Antarctica.

What type of farting is this?
