Primary objective was to get further than last time, which they absolutely did. Not only were all the engines reliable for their first burn, they tested a successful hot separation, in flight ignition, and effective flight termination system. All of this was on top of the achievements they made last time and allowed Starship to reach space for the first time, making it reach past the N1 in only two attempts.

It was a great success.

PS. No it did not explode in orbit. The actual rocket scientists did think about this you know. The flight plan featured a suborbital track, and it splashed down safely in the ocean somewhere along it's predicted path at most about an hour after launch.

Maybe I just hate change, but isn't it much more difficult to differentiate between grass and water with the new colors? I find myself really preferring the old version, though I am used to it

That's a shame, would be neat

We're not in the 17th century learning by candle light. As someone in university right now, I would so much rather have a great online class than a generic in person one, though I guess everyone is different in their preferences.

Not to defend deceptive business practices, but software battery limits are slightly different from a fuel tank being smaller. By not allowing the battery to charge as close to its full capacity, a software size limit can actually significantly improve the longevity of the lithium cells. Batteries sustain the most damage when they're charged completely to full, and even the best battery management systems can't prevent all of the damage. This is also why charging speed is significantly slower near the end of a full charge cycle.

That last part can and probably will happen despite his public perception

Creative liberties may be taken when designing a statue of yourself, so don't worry, you can take any pose you want

Given the amount of people that seem to base their whole personality exclusively using this list, it will be a long while before we can move away from these as a collective.

It's been a while, but I just remembered that there actually is an under screen screen. There's a smart watch with a second screen layered on top of the regular screen that it can use to draw less power: TicWatch Pro 5

It probably depends greatly on how much you use the video calling feature, I can see that being one of the most expensive components

Innocent until proven guilty applies to chemicals now I guess
