User:Redacted II

I'm going through emotional hell right now.

I'll try to respond to any notifications, but it will take awhile.

Way too many, but at the same time, not enough

Hello fellow Wikipedia editors. I am a freshman college student studying aerospace engineering at University at Buffalo. I have a strong interest in all things space, especially anything related to the Starship launch vehicle (due to it being the first fully reusable launch vehicle). I am also a regular chess player (rated ~1500) and D&D player/dungeon master.

I mostly edit spaceflight related pages, mainly keeping the SpaceX Starship related pages up to date, especially the List of Starship Launches, Super Heavy, and Starship (spacecraft) pages.

My interest in aerospace engineering began when I was randomly following links between Wikipedia articles, and stumbled on the Interstellar travel article. While most of the methods listed there had some degree of detail on how the vehicle got from orbit to another star, only Project Orion detailed how the vehicle would get into orbit. My attempts to learn more led me to SpaceX Starship (back when the main image was of B4 and S20), and just the idea of a fully reusable rocket made spaceflight my main interest.

Most of my edits are visual edits, though I sometimes use source editing (mainly for template work and removing vandalism). So, sorry in advance for any mistakes I make in source editing. Or elsewhere, for that matter.

I am currently panicking about the results of the 2024 election. America was given a choice: Democracy of Dictatorship. A choice between a former prosecuter and a rapist. And Epstein's best friend won every single swing state. He won the popular vote. America has condemned itself to madness. Hopefully we get a chance to make a better decision in four years.

Also, WTF. Cutting NASA's science budget in half?![1] I really shouldn't be suprised, and there are far worse things happening, but this hits hard. I can only hope NASA survives this.
