ARE SPACEX WORKERS SMOKING A LITTLE WEED WHILE CONSTRUCTING THE PROTOTYPE BFR ROCKET?




SpaceX Founder Elon Musk Samples Weed

 "While we found many inconsistent results between studies, the general consensus supports  cognitive and motor impairments associated with cannabis use," said Shikha Prashad, lead author of the review and a postdoctoral research scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas.

A couple friends and I went out to the SpaceX construction site today to note the progress since the September 2014 groundbreaking.

We observed and took pictures of the aft section of the BFR prototype rocket that will soon be tested in short hop missions.

All of us were somewhat surprised by what appeared to our untrained eyes as shoddy workmanship with seeming gaps between stainless steel panels, apparent waving in surface areas and almost an amateurish finish.

Currently, the nosecone that fell off during what Musk said were "50 MPH gusts," is being repaired in what's called the "space tent."
According to The Verge website:  

 "Once the damage is repaired and the prototype is complete, the company wants to perform short “hop” tests with the vehicle. These tests entail igniting the vehicle’s engines and sending the rocket to low altitudes between 1,640 and 16,400 feet, before landing it upright back on Earth."

 Below are some pictures we took of the portion of the BFR (Big Falcon Rocket) not damaged by the winds:

    All of my weed smoking friends are people who really just don't want to be here with the rest of us. They want a way out, an escape, they can't tolerate real life. Its sad because they seem to be trapped in teenage adolescence, never grew out of it, never escaped, still reliving all the horrors every day, persecuted though no one is persecuting them, judged yet no one is judging them, other than their own minds still reliving middle school. Think the world cares about anime cartoons (it doesn't). Elon may be teetering on the brink of figurehead, charismatic person who no one actually believes is still seriously in control of SpaceX or Tesla, much less seriously working on their projects. He may have been a visionary before but now he looks like a sad addict, rehab material, teenage middle school addict. Yikes.

    Looks like a poorly executed Soviet era rocket. With a bunch of big gaps and not quite aligned panels. Please don't put living beings in this. Please. It doesn't look safe at all.

    I suspect that this contraption is just a vehicle for holding the rocket engines and all their associated gear for testing and so they can tell financial backers they are doing something out there besides keeping people from the beach. And in regards to the above comment about weed users, I think it says more about the people the commentator hangs around with then it does weed users in general. But it did give him a chance to make one or two glib comments.

    A question? Is there a running fresh water supply at the Space X outfit at Boca Chica Beach? One would think a continual water supply would be a prerequisite for any kind of assembly work, let alone a launch.

    Atty. General BILL "Trump Pussy" BARR testifies:

    I wouldn't be colored surprised if Barr suddenly refused to attend the hearings, citing "executive priviledge," or DOJ conflict or some other nonsense. Trump et., al are nothing but dirty thieves, lying crooks and fradulent cheats. They are despicable and deplorable, comparable to maggots.

    And it appears as though nothing is happening to put a stop to his and theirs(e.g., Barr, Kushner, Guillani, etc.) blatantly aggressive grab for political mobster imperalism. Lock them up! Lock them up! Lock them up!
