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

All 26 Starlink V3 operational satellites deployed and operating nominally https://t.co/TTl9dCkTdX

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.

Guy is an unhinged nutcase. Terrible case of EDS, but can't stop using Elon's app to post every 5 minutes of his life

Has he said anything new?

A lot of people are just now learning that he's blocked them, even though they've never interacted.

I'm assuming that aerospace engineer does NOT work for SpaceX.
— Planet Of Memes (@PlanetOfMemes) September 28, 2026
Bet you find at least one rejected SpaceX job application from him in your records.

Elon, send another rocket up and show him how it's done.

This is insane Elon! Congrats on the new milestone!

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.
