As I've stated, disclosure is simply not possible. I will say, however, that unlike what you know as the Galactic Empire, we delve into the spiritual, as opposed to the physical aspects of life in our (and also your) Universe.

New York Post: SPACEX STARSHIP EXPLODES IN BOTCHED TEST

 

 

Are you serious. What morons. They will write anything to sell their WORD NOT ALLOWED!

WARNING! Extreme profanity detected!!!

 

Edit: just tracked it down. The headline was dumb but at least they did portray it accurately in the article.

So you are from a different universe?

Is that an eternal inflation pocket universe, one of the bubble universes of higher dimensional space in M-Theory, or the many worlds interpterion of quantum physics?

I am sorry for not having been more clear. We both reside in the same "Universe". I in my existence and you in yours. They are both two versions of the same. We reside there simultaneously.

In your Universe the actual entities are also sometimes referred to as actual occasions, because every actual entity has a temporal dimension, whereby the actual entity’s mental pole, which establishes which type of entity it is, determines which prehensions are positively received and are incorporated into the contrast that is the ultimate constitution of the actual entity. A “nexus” of actual entities, a line of temporal inheritance, is what we experience as an object.

In my Universe the "objects" are simply the temporal dimensions.

On a less deep philosophical note - Scott Manley has released his commentary on the flight 🍻,.

Top new term for nerds "Engine-rich exhaust" the green flame which can briefly be seen from one of the engines before the Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly..

In car or truck terms engine rich exhaust is when you'd see bits of valve or piston coming out of the exhaust pipe :wink: it is rich with engine parts and not burnt fuel :biggrin:

Sorry but that's a lean condition. Excessive heat, fuel cools. Belive me, I've leaned out a few race engines. Fast but deadly.

I think this thread has experienced RUD. And the double image is an artifact of a temporary disruption of communication between my Imageshack account and AVSIM. Sorry. I now think "Oh the Elonity" would have been better. Quod scripsi, scripsi.

Martin, the number of perceived events / things in the universe is inversely proportionate to the perfection of the observer. On the seventh viewing of the movie Swing Time (Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, RKO 1936) this was revealed to me. Before that, I only grasped a dim awareness from playing the album Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd synchronized to The Wizard of Oz. See e.g. (Pseudo) Dionysius the Areopagate, Bonaventure and John of the Cross, C, G. Jung and Herni Bergson.

HighBypass is correct in this particular context, and is explaining it through an analogy, although I'm certain you are technically correct. There are all sorts of sardonic expressions finding their way into our vocabulary. "Engine Rich Exhaust" is a way of saying the engine is burning up and becoming plasma bits out the nozzle, just as RUD is "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly." And the Starship-watcher community is developing its own lingo. SN8 (which had the RUD at the end of a beautiful flight) is "Snate." Workers around the launch pad are "Kaarls" (sic).

I thought I was ready for the answer. But once I heard it, realised I wasn't. 

I've now taken the relavant drugs, so should be prepared for future "Galactic Foundation" revelations.
