Let's All Point and Laugh at the Aerospace Engineer Who Said Starship Would Never Achieve Orbit

Monday is a very good day to point and laugh at Christopher David, the aerospace engineer who asked us all to bookmark his post saying that SpaceX's Starship will never reach orbit. Starship did indeed reach orbit, deploying 26 Starlink satellites before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.

First orbital flight of Starship successful! https://t.co/xVNsnUKTm0

I looked at his profile.. massive case of TDS. Sad when a person of science succumbs to the whims of emotion and tries to act like they are coming from a place of authority. As an Aerospace Engineer I have learned to never say never, you end up just looking like an asshole.

I just trawled through a bunch of this TDS-infested nitwit

Fur a supposed "aerospace engineer", he does not know much about aerospace or engineering
If he actually graduated from the Naval Academy almost 40 years ago, he does not represent them well

There are so many people like this, and it’s absolutely bizarre. People who just immolate themselves out of rage and anger.

I've been around a while now, longer than I care to admit and have watched many, many launches. Looking on as Starship 14 went orbital for the first time brought a smile to my face just as when I was a child watching the Mercury crafts take off. Thank you. 🇺🇲

This is extra badass.

It's too bad this achievement was made after the "Musk" documentary had already wrapped. We need to know if Starship was actually deploying space lasers to fix the 2028 presidential election. It's a bad day for those afflicted with Elon Derangement Syndrome.
