This is incredible but why do the launches and and now catching look like CGI? I am not doubting that it's not real but it looks odd.

SpaceX is WAY ahead of everyone else. This Starship launch test went flawlessly - they even caught the booster. Next one will feature Starship safe landing on one of their barges.

Elon is giving us the future I imagined as a kid. Landable rockets! Humanoid robots, futuristic vehicles, etc. The Starship is a massive vehicle. Peopl don;t seem to understand just how big it is inside. It's larger inside than all of the individual ISS modules! Each one can hold over 60 people plus cargo (one variant can hold 100). Once the Starship has completed it's flight trials, it can almost immediately set it's sights at a manned Mars mission and skip the lame NASA timelines. I kinda wish NASA would be dissolved.

NASA does great work but they are too slow and they don't have craziness or risk taking abilities that Elon has where he can waste all of the money he wants. The sad thing is that he has lost contact with his first child who turned transgender. NASA budget keeps on reducing year by year compare that to Spacex and Tesla where he is getting a lot of funding and the people at NASA they are hardwired to do things the old way.

because THAT is another danger from the use of AI/CGI in everyday life beyond entertainment

we are normalizing that anything fantastic MIGHT BE generated by AI and our engaging our natural and normal human doubting mechanism in questioning things

its only going to get worse for us. BUT, I think very young people now, and those yet to be born, both who will grow up with AI will develop a far better way to adapt to and ID what's real and whats computer generated

every step forward in tech use has resulted in something like this- think of how much better the young are at EVERY new piece of tech that comes along than older ppl are. They lack the bias and experiences we do. I have vivid memories of "teaching" my older relatives how to use a remote TV control and to use the push button phone :)

Well, I hope AI gets a boot and is overrated like Y2k bug. I remember I had to fight against my previous employer and I took them to Australian Human Rights Commission.

with that vertical landing?

have they said how long before they test the vertical landing with a crew? (and where are they going to find a crew with enough chutzpah to ride in it? :) )

I would assume once they have successfully vertical landed manned flights will come shortly.
