SpaceX (general discussion)

Just waiting for Musk to pull a Gérard Depardieu...

Drinking several bottles of wine a day?

Only Crimean ones, of course...

Not to mention that Musk has nothing on the late Sergei Korolev

Musk is Sergey Korolev, and he knows it
Korolev died on January 14, 1966, and Musk was born on June 28, 1971

And exactly what significance do you attribute to those two random dates? But I understand that you are probably just mindlessly following Putin's inane propaganda. Or do you really believe in reincarnation, and if so, why are you even in this science and technology based forum???

I don't believe it, I know

Crimean vines are quite good, you know. The vineyards in Crimea were first founded by ancient Greece colonists more than 2500 years ago.

That's precisely why I brought them up in the first place...

Rationally, logically and methodically explain your relevant knowledge then, please. Mind you, this is an *apolitical* science, engineering, and technology focused forum, without any ideological bent other than getting to the core objective matter at hand. Remember, sine īrā et studiō.

What about Georgian wines? I've never tried Georgian wines but I understand they make some excellent white-wines.

I've not yet gotten around to sampling them myself either, but I share your understanding .

So sorry, it's all GreekCyrillic to me...

Thank you for your valiant effort, but I'm really more of a white wine kind of guy - reds are just way too punchy in the palate for me. And from a pure engineering point of view, fermenting grapes with utterly superfluous skins and seeds for red wines, as opposed to removing any extraneous matter, as is customarily done for white wines, to me is just lazy and utterly barbaric pseudo wine-making and trying to pass off a process bug as a feature, instead of extracting this vile detritus in the first place and reducing local entropy. But also, for a general discussion of SpaceX, we seem to have drifted *well* off topic - perhaps we should focus on various Cannabis strains instead?

Disgusting! Not to mention that Musk has nothing on the late Sergei Korolev (And the irony is that Korolev was Ukrainian)..

And so were most Soviet rocket designers.
