That is the Chinese Long B Rocket that is spinning out of control and hurtling towards earth.
It weighs 23 tons and is as tall as a 10 story building.

in my case my adoptive parents got a lawyer, they filed the paperwork and i was adopted (along with my younger sisters)
once the adoption went through, i got a new birth certificate with my adoptive parents listed as my legal parents rather than my biological ones

he died of COVID 😥

specifically elon, i guess
the whole thing feels like an ego trip and yeah i get it, i guess i would be all out there too if i was rich, but there's a lax-ness that is concerning on his part

where i live there is a ball bearing factory that has been a staple of the city for like 100 years and there's an actual display in the library commemorating them with like this elaborate shadow box thing
my adoptive dad used to design ball bearings and he had a lot to say about them
