Speaking as a layman, I just think it's fuckin' awesome how a big chonky boi can be propelled upwards at Mach Yeet and get casually dropped off in orbit.
Even though Musk is a cunt, I still love watching SpaceX streams to see big bits of metal get put upwards by lots of fire and noise, and then fuckin' land where they started seven or eight minutes later.
Science is fuckin mint, man.
Some of these words are meaningless and detract from what you are trying to say. People should not have to be subjected to this nonsense.

Have you had a chance to play Kerbal Space Program yet? If not, I think you'd really enjoy it.
Does not live up to the hype.

Do you expect the satellite to see the whole earth?
You know it's night for like half of it, yea?
*yeah, not yea or nay. It isn't a vote.

Au contraire, quite eloquent

Which words do you mean? Because I understand them all. They convey information, the fundamental point of language, hence they don't detract. Just because you can't make sense of them doesn't mean they're nonsense.
If you're talking about "Mach Yeet", yeet refers to forceful movement. This specific combination then means really fucking fast. The exact speed doesn't matter. The frivolity of the language underscores their excitement or might just be their idiolect.
Either way, so long as it's nothing hateful or harmful (beyond hurting your linguistic sensibilities), trying to police other people's vocabulary is narrow-minded and needlessly stuck-up.
Why don't you yeet that shit (throw it far away) and come join us in watching the fascinating evolution of language?

Yeah it's a shame that Musk is so inextricably linked with the brand. I'm quite sure SpaceX and Tesla are full of top tier talent and engineering wizards... but have a direct link to a toxic cockwomble that bankrolls them. Shame.
He likely brought a ton of capital with him.

This is really cool.
Anyone know where can I publically find satellite data which is regularly updated, for hobby projects.

Did you read the part where this is a radar satellite designed for monitoring the climate? That is, did you read anything besides the headline before you decided: "Yeah, I think I'm able to make informed commentary about this"?
Like others have pointed out, It was indeed very much tongue-in-cheek.

I recall a Judas Priest song about this.

“Mach yeet” is now added to my list of sentences I never knew I wanted to read
As an engineer I would like to second this motion to get "Mach Yeet" adopted as an IEC standard technical term.

This is absolutely fucked. Bring down the all seeing eye in the sky satelite

changes on Earth’s surface down to the centimetre
These things really fuck with nude sunbathing.
Some of us are blessed with
They need to launch a much more expensive satellite for that. -

Thank you for your public service announcement!

Scary. In whose hands will this technological marvel be?

And yet whenever some achievement is made, the headlines are "Musk achieves great feat"

"All seeing" except it's using radar to evaluate typography and biomass. What am I missing that makes this "absolutely fucked"?
-
Don't quote me on this, but I've heard SpaceX itself is pretty good at keeping Musk away from the actually important things. Something about having a team dedicated to keeping him distracted.
Imagine getting a job at SpaceX thinking you're gonna build a moon base and you get put on 'Elon distraction'

Aren't you a tiny blob of typography and biomass yourself?

How did you know? Really though I was looking at the picture in the article which is from similar technology about a decade ago.

4, 3, 2, 1... Reverse! We have reverse!... And we're turning... Putting it on D....hit the gas pedal... All systems nominal! The vehicle is gaining speed at 25mph. Entering the 5north at 45mph in climbing... 65! We have reached max Q...honey tell the kids what max Q means....kids, maxQ is when the vehicle sees maximum hydrodynamic pressure.
Trying to avoid MECO at all costs until we park.
