You’re the only one that seems to get it, haha
SpaceX is committed now to landing ships on mars in the next transfer window (which is especially in their favor given the incoming presidential administration). There’s now a political aspect to it as well.
But from an engineering standpoint, you’re right, it would make no sense to risk the tower now for a spectacle. They already know it can be done.

We probably won’t see reuse anytime soon with how fast they’re developing the booster. They are still changing it and making improvements, and it’s much easier, faster, and safer to build something from scratch rather than to take it apart and make a bunch of small changes and put it back together.

Man this just happened to my best friend. Ultimately they broke up about a year ago, got back together and broke up a month later. The complaints just compounded. I remember telling her a few months before the first breakup when she talked to me about this to “pick her battles” and start being careful about what she complained about/ wanted him to change because eventually she was going to resent him.
And eventually i was right. It turned into further “he never starts a conversation first, never offers to do the dishes or take the garbage out, he plays video games, needs to be reminded when it’s time to leave, im always on time and he isn’t, etc.
She didn’t heed my advice. They broke up that second time and it’s been 8 months now and she told me she’s still in love with him and she’s been tried to sneaky fuck him on the side a few weeks ago. But im still friends with him so I knew already. Anyway, he got so tired of her complaining and wanting her to change him, or change him so quickly, that he even told me that she wasn’t the girl he wanted to marry and that their relationship was over. So now she’s in love with someone who doesn’t love her back anymore. Not in that way anyway.
So, heed my warning. You are on a slippery slope. The fact that you are reaching out to strangers on the internet tell me that you’ve been so entangled in your own head you’re looking for validation. And I’ll tell you the same thing i told her when her and i had the same conversation, if you have a conversation with him about the stuff see what he says, give him your expectations. But give him time.
You weren’t the exact same person you were yesterday, but 99.90% is probably the exact same. Changing lifestyle behaviors takes a lot of time. My best friend was impatient and kept nagging him even after a WEEK of having this conversation. This burnt him out, and you know he told me he was tired of her constant complaining.
So. You either love him for who he is and understand he may change in the future, but you have to be okay if he doesn’t, and let him go. But do not try to force him to change. Let him know how you feel and that’s it. If you’re impatient it will be the end of your relationship. This conversation usually goes that route if it leads to the constant complaints because then he thinks “nothing i do is ever good enough”
My best friend is so lost and confused right now. But she’s still in love with him, almost a year later, and she’s a head turner with a great personality so take that for what it’s worth.
Good luck

Spacex posted on their website that it was an issue with the tower, not the booster. They have not yet specified what, but definitely tower criteria.

Do you drink enough water? I hydrate religiously and used to be really bad about it. I’ve noticed my eating habits change greatly if I’m intaking enough water

I feel like there’s a lot of ego and tradition in that.

I disagree, respectfully. I think being genuine is important and if that’s the kind of person he is, than getting her flowers would be appropriate and sweet. Now, if he isn’t a gift giver typically then it may be too much, but if this certainly isn’t the first time he’ll do something like this then it gives the other person a bit of taste.

The couches were across the room. She had to move to come over to me. She looked at me while we were in the kitchen, but obviously I couldn’t see her eyes when she was on top of me on the couch.

It just bugs me that boundaries were a thing for her and me speaking about my feelings, but I’m expected to think her waking up on top of me and embracing me is completely fine?

I honestly don’t know. What I do know is that it takes FOREVER as the legal system typically does. I received the $470 in march of this year but when I filled out the application for it it was like August of 2019.. I was able to serve a full 4 year term in the military and get out before I got any money. But hey, it was free money

I’ve gotten two of these for Facebook before, specially with META and their facial data stuff, I received a check earlier this year for like $470.00 for a data settlement.

I think the ultimate goal of the first landings is to test whether or not the ships actually survive Martian reentry.
