SpaceX Launch and First Stage LANDING SUCCESSFUL!

So did everyone see the ET orb watching the show on the deployment cam video?


It changed its direction in position relative to our craft as well, and even paused for a while before moving off.

Got to love the fact that Never A Straight Answer, was not able to doctor and censor the live footage as well.

Did anyone film that other than the tv show?

the breakthrough needed to mine the solar system

So yea, there was an ETV watching... Nobody care???

Wow man this is so cool. Hopefully some homeless people caught a heat from the exhaust fumes too. Humans are so awesome. FUCK YEAH!

We don't care about this planet, or even our own species...but fuck it. Let's take this virus out to space, while we step over the poor to check our accounts on our way to church. God bless capitalism. And it's satanic pedo hierarchy. Amen.

yes, it was cool =]

fake

How the did this son a soundstage is pretty impressive.

And the graphics....... Amazing Photoshop work.


/SARC.... Just kidding


I think I want to work for SpaceX.

So you want Humans to destroy mars too ? OPPS! we did that already ! eons ago , now when we fuck earth completely we will go back to mars & finish the job..

"Priceless"

That landing was fucking incredible! To think of all the engineering going on here is inspiring. I love how pumped the room was. It's like a nerd Super Bowl.

Dr Astro, threads like this keep me coming back to GLP. Thanks.

Of course, there's always a huge crowd of people watching every launch. Most don't have sophisticated tracking equipment. Unfortunately I couldn't be there tonight. Had they gone on Saturday or Sunday I would have been.

Get the fuck out.

Suck on it faketards.

You can even hear the sonic booms followed by the sound of the engines after the vehicle lands.

Does it land near where it took off? If so, how close was the crowd or did they watch it on a big screen?

LOL...."or it blew up" @ 2:06.

My usual observing site is 16 miles from the landing pad. I choose that site because I can easily get my telescope and all my equipment to that spot. You can usually also view these things from the Saturn V site about 10 miles away.

He just doesn't know how sonic booms work. That's normal, the roar afterwards is the sound of the engines working.

For those who don't truly understand the leap forward this is, it is the difference between having to refuel your car over building a whole new one. Am I right Astro?

His cars suck but this is cool

Shhhh don't mention the alien craft.

I stood inside the engine nozzle of that Saturn v they have on display, way back when I was just a kid. Got a photo of it too.

Yup. Now the real question is going to be answered by this particular rocket; they will find out how much refurbishment it actually needs before flying again. Considering it doesn't use a huge complex heat shield made up of custom cut delicate tiles I expect the turnaround on the rockets will be much faster and cheaper to do than the shuttle once the "processing line" is fully up and running.

A few years back I watched an unscripted tour Mr. Musk did of his facility, if anyone doubts this man knows every part of every rocket, well.... [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

Er, how can rockets work in space when there's no air to push against?

Moon landing? What a farce.

Physics fail. Action/reaction. It doesn't need air to "push against." That's not how it works. Mass is being expelled from the rocket, it's in a vacuum and nothing is resisting its motion, so it HAS to move in the opposite direction of that mass or you violate the conservation of momentum.

I'm astounded by the number of 1 stars here. A thread about a great leap in rocket technology to help us in reaching other planets. Maybe if we say this will help also help us leave Islamogeddon behind then people will be all it.
