Trump can fix that by slapping 200% tarriffs on gasoline imports, then the refineries and the oil wells to feed them will just naturally materialize.

No, not necessarily a problem in either of those things. As I said, it ruptured way below the pressure the tank was rated for - nothing wrong with the design there. And I don't know if it's been explicitly confirmed or not, but those tanks get tested above that pressure before they get installed. The ship had already done a single-engine test firing so it must have actually been pressured up to that already when it did that previously.
It sounds to me like something happened that damaged the tank after it was already in place. That would be my guess. Something banged into it and nobody noticed.
Nominations don't really mean anything.
I'm responding to someone who said:
Seems like humans are moving towards ending all life on earth. Just another dead rock in an infinite vacuum.
That's the context.
My point is that this is not true, and I'm explaining why it's not true.
None of which comes close to rendering humanity extinct. That's been my point all along. Nuclear war would suck, but it would not render humanity extinct.
Does any of it consider the wars that will be triggered? How the water supply will be affected? How the weather is going to be affected after an already fucked up atmosphere absorbs this damage?
Did you consider any of it? In an actually analytical way, that is, instead of just imagining the outcome you wanted?
I provided links, you provided nothing but belief and fearmongering. And downvotes, of course, which also prove nothing.
It always seemed to me like once that sort of pagentry became mandatory (through social pressure even if not actual legal requirement) then it also lost its meaning.
Like all the banners wishing shoppers a merry Christmas. Nobody actually thinks that the managers of those stores actually care if you have a merry Christmas. It's just what stores do to mark the start of November.
Same thing that's been happening with the Republican party since Nixon. They create a monster, set it loose, the monster eats the faces of those who created it, and then the monster goes on to create an even worse monster. Repeat cycle endlessly.
Took Fox a while to be consumed by its offspring, but here we are I guess. Someday it'll be Truth Social's turn.
Early analysis suggests that one of the high-pressure nitrogen gas tanks in the cargo bay ruptured. This would be unrelated to the rocketry aspects of Starship, those tanks are pretty plain vanilla technology and if this is actually what happened it's weird because those tanks are rated for way higher safety margins.
Also don't forget to stock up on everything that needs oil for supply chains to move them, the raw materials to make them, and the energy to run it all.
