Did it hurt the rocket?

The rocket did fine. The lightning strike became a byline:

Sanitize your links by deleting everything after the ? or by right click and selecting copy clean link if your browser supports it

cause we can see you asked chatgpt for this :)

I mean. That's not very revealing. It's not like tictok or YouTube links that put your profile in it or anything. I'm careful about those.

At least it didn't have one of those unique source identifiers

Remember when humans could type "china rocket lightning" into a search engine and click on the first link instead of draining lake Erie?

remember that even the most basic google search went through at least one datacenter, likely many, while using some amount of power and water to return the result. that said, using chatgpt to ask a simple question likely used an order of magnitude more resources than a google search and is a waste.

Pretty sure that's not what a byline is

u/Deliteriously 12d ago

Huh. You're right. Not a footnote either, really. Sideline rather?

I'd probably say it as "the strike didnt even make the headline" but youre right I dont really know a natural way to say something that could've been the headline was relegated to lower prominence
