    Does anyone want to comment why it did two 360s and then blew up

    I’m not a rocket scientist hee hee. But I must say those were the slowest fastest 360s I’ve ever seen in my life.

    What came off the bottom at 0:40?

    And they want to sit people on top of that bloody thing. Leave the next test launch for 2024 new-year.

    What a waste of taxpayer money

    Personally I expected some teething problems. Starship is such a clean slate design that some glitches were bound to occur.

    “Awaiting Staging……” yeah you’re waiting for that thing to stabilize. It limped up there once it left the pad.

    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)

    This is what you need to know… The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life throught Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 God demonstrates his own love for us in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 Please believe and repent today!

    It’s funny that people who don’t make any difference to humanity love to laugh at the failure of others.

  33. Luis Mendoza

    April 20, 2023 at 10:50 pm

    As an engineer…I wouldn’t clap ???? if it failed..

  34. Thomas Shifley

    Congratulations on a great start to Starship. Too bad it didn’t separate and get into orbit.

  39. Wendy

    April 20, 2023 at 11:27 pm

    That flip before separation, that we haven’t figured out why they needed, was the only thing that was too much for the Remote Control or on-board Auto-Astronaut computer. ????????❔

  40. Noah Clark

    April 21, 2023 at 12:30 am

    It polluted air.

  41. Tony Kings

  49. Jason

    April 21, 2023 at 3:46 pm

    It survived max Q and several flips. They just need to figure out what went wrong during separation of booster.

    Space X with this test is so far ahead of all rocket manufacturers in the race back to Moon and Mars.

    For a first attempt at a completely new rocket design, that was damn good.

    April 23, 2023 at 1:59 pm

    Icing on the cake…. then a fantastic job of blowing out all the candles at once (all that remained lit, that is). Love the celebratory tone!

This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.

What if science class felt less like studying out of a textbook and more like an unforgettable field trip? From viral glitter-bomb traps to backyard engineering marvels, former-NASA-engineer-turned-YouTuber Mark Rober has spent years proving that curiosity is contagious — and that the best way to teach science is to make it impossibly fun. In conversation with TED’s Whitney Pennington Rodgers, Rober shares how play, wonder and a healthy dose of mischief can transform the way kids learn … and gives a peek inside his plan to bring magic to every classroom in America.
