@@That_Awesome_Guy1 no, i dont think you are very into science or engineering. his answer was literal and scientific. the shape to make something that moves efficiently in fluids is very similar with what moves in air, and penis looks like what it does because it is an efficient form to move in fluids and abit of air, thus its not too much wonder that rockets look alot like penises. nothing about this is anything but literal and based on facts of science and engineering.

The heat vents failed last December due to a design flaw, and it took 5 weeks to get it repaired. For a dented fender, he had to wait 2 months.

I try my best to *not* idolize Elon Musk, but it’s too difficult - I’m a typical American, looking for heroes, and Elon makes a good ‘Wizard of Oz’ to remind us we don’t need heroes we just need to recognize the resources we already possess will take us where we want to go…

The purpose is for you to know the WHY you made the choice you already made from the foundation of the world. It was inevitable that Jesus died for the sins of humanity.
