My Unread threads was just inundated with FutureSpaceTourist creating a topic for each and every NSF Live video.  If I click Notify in that section, I'm just asked if I want to turn notifications on.

Hi, I don't want to be off topic but I'm getting concerned that the Head Engineer at SpaceX is getting drawn down into a quagmire of his own creation at Twitter.
Is there a place that this topic is on-topic?  If he loses 44 billion dollars (and his mind) it may have real consequences for the company that we know and love.  Or, is this topic too incendiary for this site?

I know one place where it would not be considered too incendiary to discuss - Twitter.

Every time it's brought up, it gets political - which we try and avoid here.

Problem reading home (or "flash") page article titles:

https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/      "thumb" image links leading to

https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2022/12/artemis-i-srb-review/    and

https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2022/11/core-stage-sls-update/

are not readable.

Disclaimers:  I'm not smart about forums and topics, and I only spend about 1% of my waking hours on this forum, so I may be raising an issue/idea which has been discussed and dismissed long ago.  Nevertheless:

1.  How often does someone forget and make a "Discussion" comment in an "Updates" thread?  Then we have the inevitable trim and scolding...unpleasant for all, and somewhat bandwidth-sucking.

2.  If I see something in an Updates thread upon which I wish to comment, I've got to copy the post I want to quote, then figure out which is the appropriate discussion thread, then go there and post my whimsical comment, etc.  A little awkward, especially for the less-prolific user.

3.  What if each Updates thread had an automatically-generated Discussion thread, and the titles were identical except for "Updates" vs. "Discussion"?

4.  And, when I choose to Reply, what if there was a dialog which allowed me to choose whether it was really another Update, or just Discussion?  And, if Discussion, it automatically quoted the post to which I'm Replying, but over into the related Discussion thread?

I don't even know how feasible this is, technically.  But it seemed to me to have some merit.  So, here goes...

Anyone notice the fake scammy spacex channels on youtube? Some of them even have the spacex channel name. I thought I was watching the real launch coverage for several minuets. Then it flashed a qr code to buy bit coins.

Bit coins are a pox on humanity.

They've been around for awhile.  Many pretend to be live coverage of a launch or a live speech given by Elon, etc.  And yea, it to seel bit coin.

I’ve noticed them appearing in my feed every so often. If you mark them not interested often enough they tend to go away.

When a scammy SpaceX or related channel pops up on my feed I normally report it as a scam. On more than one occasion, I have even been able to mention on the report created that the video used in the scam was stolen from a particular content creator.

 Only humanity who wants money they didn't earn.
 I have little sympathy for victims of get rich schemes. How many people do you meet that even understand money as a medium of exchange for goods and services any more?

If it says SpaceX but it's pushing Bitcoin then it's obviously fake.

The real SpaceX channel only pushes Dogecoin!

Yes, you are correct even I saw that there are several YT channels that are fake using SpaceX's name and it was fake and he was doing scams to the people.
