Summarization
SpaceX has recently conducted a successful test of their Starship rocket, where 31 engines fired for the first time to reach orbit! Along with this, a view from a drone was provided for their static fire test. This was followed by SpaceX being accused of intentionally jamming Starlink satellite communications in Ukraine. This affected Ukrainian forces' use of drones, which are a major part of their fight against Russia. The test was noted as being the most powerful rocket firing in history, and is the last milestone before SpaceX initiates their first flight.
Topic Modeling
- Space Exploration: "One day, Starship will take us to Mars", "Full duration", "So much will change when Starship becomes operational.", "Depending on thrust levels, SpaceX may have just conducted the most powerful rocket firing in history."
- SpaceX Technology: "Team turned off 1 engine just before start & 1 stopped itself, so 31 engines fired overall.But still enough engines to reach orbit!", "33 Raptor engine static fire attempt soon", "Views from drone of Booster 7's static fire test", "First static fire attempt of 33 Raptor engines on Booster 7", "STATIC FIRE! Booster 7 fires up in a milestone test. We'll need SpaceX/Elon to confirm how many engines!"
- Russia and Ukraine Conflict: "BREAKING: Elon Musk’s company INTENTIONALLY JAMMED Starlink satellite comms in Ukraine, preventing Ukrainian forces from using the critical technology with Ukrainian drones that are a key component of their fight against Russia.", "SpaceX curbed Ukraine's use of Starlink internet for drones -company president | Reuters", "Make no mistake, SpaceX's decision to withhold Starlink service from Ukraine is pro-Russian, anti-Ukraine, anti-NATO and anti-US. Do they have the right to do it? Sure. Should the US do business with this company, help it any way? Hell no.", "Trouble comes unexpectedly:The president of SpaceX revealed the company has taken active steps to prevent Ukrainian forces from using the critical Starlink satellite technology with Ukrainian drones that are a key component of their fight against Russia -CNN", "Starlink - now paid for in Ukraine by US/NATO - just reduced capability, helping Russia."There are things that we can do to limit [Ukraine’s] ability to do that," referring to Starlink's use with drones. "There are things that we can do, and have done.", "Подоляк: SpaceX должна выбрать между Украиной и Россией"
- SpaceX Success: "Just look at all that excess fuel continuing to burn in the air after the engines shut down.", "Kerbal gets @Erdayastronaut @Matt_Lowne @KSpaceAcademy @ej_sa @DJSnM @Jatwaa @EDA_Flo for a day of Kerbal and look what happens! We should probably get together more often don’t you think @spacex ?! #KSP2", "Congrats on the big test @SpaceX 👏", "Many are not aware of the significance of this test! It was the most powerful rocket ignition in human history, broke a decades old record of rocket engines fired simultaneously and is the last major milestone before SpaceX will attempt a first flight of a Starship. ❤️🚀"
- Elon Musk: "Elon Musk’s company INTENTIONALLY JAMMED Starlink satellite comms in Ukraine", "SpaceX curbed Ukraine's use of Starlink internet for drones -company president | Reuters", "@elonmusk yes or no?", "It’s still standing!!!".
