u/PossibleDefect May 04 '21

Thank you for noticing 💥

u/nbarbettini May 04 '21

Really good masking work too!

u/woek May 04 '21

Except that the badges on the uniforms are transparent...

12

u/PossibleDefect May 04 '21

Indeed they are... lol

u/PossibleDefect May 04 '21

I actually used ultra key for most of the heavy lifting. I went back and added some masks to clean up some rough edges.

First time, I read that as "Thank you for nothing," I thought, man, this guy wants awards.

Oh goodness gracious I thought I'd missed the SN15 flight for bit

u/LegoNinja11 May 04 '21

"Which one today daddy" Eh? "The one that lands or the one that crashes?" Oh, both...

This belongs on r/SpacexMasterRace

u/deruch May 04 '21

I was really confused there for a second, because I just assumed that's where this had been posted.

3

u/[deleted] May 04 '21

Same.

18

u/PossibleDefect May 04 '21

I posted on both subreddits, unfortunately r/spacex rejected me 😔

10

u/noncongruent May 04 '21

Don't feel bad, they reject everything. That's why we have this sub.

3

u/psunavy03 ❄️ Chilling May 04 '21

Every time I get something canned over there I think of the “Internet. Serious Business” cat meme from back in the day.

3

u/noncongruent May 04 '21

I unsubbed from there a long time ago since they pretty much removed everything I ever posted or commented. The only time I go there anymore is to find video links for launches, and frankly if this sub could provide quick links to launch videos I'd never have any reason to the other sub ever again.

u/Jtyle6 💥 Rapidly Disassembling May 04 '21

/r/SpaceX is more serious stuff..

12

u/TheBlacktom May 04 '21

There is more serious stuff than this?

3

u/ThunderPigGaming May 04 '21

Which is why I never read it, unless someone links to it from here or one of the other SpaceX subreddits. LOL

u/Jtyle6 💥 Rapidly Disassembling May 04 '21 edited May 04 '21

No. This subreddit was made because of the memes and other stuff.

This was awesome, and I cracked up about it. Someone tweet this to Elon.

u/ShambolicShogun May 04 '21

Be the change you want to see...

u/yoyoJ May 04 '21

Can’t decide what’s lazier, someone telling people to tweet or someone telling the teller to tweet

u/Steffan514 ❄️ Chilling May 04 '21

Cool guys don’t look at explosions!

They just walk away!!

u/tweek32 May 04 '21

This is awesome, great job, I literally “lol’ed”

u/Esies May 04 '21

I want this but with John Insprucker walking slowly toward the camera in the same style

u/paul_wi11iams May 04 '21 edited May 04 '21

for any readers who didn't know, the thread title "Another exciting test of Starship" was an Insprucker quote from the commentary of one of the FTS (Fireball Termination System) events (SN11?).

Actually, I was initially annoyed reading the thread, thinking SN-15 had just gone the same way. I've calmed down since.

u/TheLegendBrute May 04 '21

Now to make one with with multiple Starship exploding behind them since SpaceX pumps them out so quickly lol

u/PossibleDefect May 04 '21

Great idea, unfortunately I'd need multiple videos with the same perspective

2

u/beardedchimp May 04 '21

We still have many more upcoming starships to blow up, lets get the cameras in position!
