I saw this from Playalinda beach, it was great indeed! The noise was indeed amazing, but looking forward to a Starship launch from there...

[@S1nwar]

Who would have thought that the reason we dont witness a Falcon 9 landing is the damn official streaming service before a RUD after ~200 launches

[@Unbaguettable]

So greedy internet providers can charge $100+ per month, when we cannot afford groceries?!?!

[@twinkieerella]

internet is gonna cost you money whether you like it or not
what you can do is figure it out…
you can’t afford it? figure it out

[@twinkieerella]

u think internet comes out of thin air? lol
they’re spending big tons of money developing it, manufacturing it, and launching it, even licensing in several countries
what you can only do is access their services
