Oi folks, Ronald Trumpet here with a splash— and I mean a big, expensive splash! So, this SpaceX mob, they did it again, eh? Shot up their biggest, baddest rocket known to human kind—or so they claim! They call it Starship, but I reckon it’s more like Star-flop.
This metal monster, stands taller than a skyscraper, roared off from Texas, and guess what? One of its gazillion engines pooped out right as it took off! The brains at SpaceX reckon it’s all part of the plan. Redundancy, they whisper. More like Redundon't, if you ask me.
Now dig this, the rocket, with a belly full of dreams and taxpayers’ dollars, supposedly went up to space. But here’s the kicker: they wanted to land the booster back with chopsticks. Chopsticks, really? Couldn’t make it up if I tried! But it ended up doing a belly flop straight into the Gulf of Mexico. Nice holiday for it, huh?
Now, I've heard fairy tales with better endings than this. If it were me, not a single penny would go to waste! I’d have strapped a pair of proper British rockets on that beast and watched it dance the waltz back home, no splash, no crash.
They talk about going to the Moon, Mars, and beyond—bollocks! At this rate, they’ll be lucky to get to Birmingham without busting into a billion bits. And yet, here we are, watching these space cowboys toss away billions like it's confetti.
So, when the world asks, "Ronald, how would you do it?" I say, put the cash in something useful. Like building bins that take out themselves or inventing shoes that can tie their own laces.
Till then, stick with me, and I’ll keep telling it how I see it—unlike those rocket jockeys who can’t see past their oversized helmets.
Cheers, Ronald Trumpet, signing off.
