Ridiculously bad-faith.



I must have misunderstood your comment.

The original statement: that most people don't realize how awesome it is.

At face value, I've observed that less than 50% of people I know are even aware this is happening. So on that observation alone the statement is true. Among those that do know, when I've explained that there are something like 10 dimensions to solve (x/y/z velocity, x/y/z position, pitch/roll/yaw, and time) and that you have to solve all of them using only 4 inputs (lower booster, and 3 lateral boosters), they are more amazed.

In my experience, almost everyone I meet has the potential to be more impressed by this event by just learning a bit more about it. Therefore "most people don't realize how awesome this is".


So they have an idea how awesome it is, but you don't think they think it's awesome enough?

you have to solve all of them using only 4 inputs (lower booster, and 3 lateral boosters), they are more amazed.

I thought they used those grid wings on launch, too.


Ah, I see the gatekeeping angle. Fair enough.

Gatekeeping aside, the point stands that I, and others, appreciate it more as we learn more about it. Which is pretty cool.
