SpaceX DM-2 Flying by the Moon

that's one amazing rocket.

thanks astro!

THANKS !

GOOD WORK.

YOU ARE APPRECIATED !

I WILL SHARE WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN !

I'm not sure if I am disappointed with the change in plans for the 'gateway' or not.
It all sounded so wonderful and thought out.

Wrong.

Won't be much, we haven't been back to the moon according to NASA since 1969 because "they destroyed the technology", even today with our technology they even say we can't leave low earth orbit, which is ~300miles out yet in 1969 we traveled to the Moon which is 243,000~ miles out with exponentially inferior technology... you know what thats called when you believe bullshit even though the FACTs point elsewhere?

Cognitive dissonance, and most of you have seen it with Politics with the libtards and TDS, apply the same thing here...

Moon = ~234,000 Miles
Low Earth Orbit = ~300 Miles

NASA says were currently working on a way to go past low Earth orbit [in our current time period, 2020]

Supposedly we went to the moon, and landed on it in 1969 but in 2020 we can't leave past 300~ miles ...

There is a Syntax Error here thats pretty easy to spot if you can think... if NASA claims they can't leave past 300~ miles how can you reach a target, The Moon, at 243,000 miles?

Again, no one is saying nothing is launched into "Space", but the idea and basis for NASA is FALSE [the Space race, moon landing, etc]...and people buy it because they can't put 1 and 1 together to discover a simple lie.

Nice rocket though.

Right because we don't make Saturn V rockets anymore. We did, but we don't now. Ergo, we were able to use it then, but not now.

Astro you had me so excited.
I thought Musk had snuck in a moon flyby while everyone was distracted.

I enjoyed his let's radidly start and stop this rocket engine until it blows up test. Was it 13 or 15 times last week

I like my Nikon. That’s a nice lens I bet!

I see a new Astromut thread, I give 5 stars.

Life is simple.

Thanks for all your work.

Yup.
He's not getting nearly the credit he deserves though, but that's inherent to this place.

Space X was really lucky. With the moon just 30 miles up, it was a really close call; aimed just 10 cm to the left and it would have been a direct hit.

Lucky Space X

Oh! Well that explains it. Thanks! I was sooooooo confused.

I’m sure glad your so smart. Keeps us all on the right track. We should make sure all the children understand that. You know, for progress and for the sake of humanity.

It’s because we don’t have 1969 rocket technology any more! Got it.

5*

Love all your posts Astro!!

Every time I see those two videos, I am amazed and actually happy to be alive right now. Rockets landing. Damn.

Make sure your children understand that “we went to the Moon”.

Teach them well! Thanks Astro! Your a legendary hero and obviously a smart and honest man!

Can’t wait to put men back on the Moon. Then on Mars.

Sometime around 2120.

Thanks Astro! Good stuff like always!

Wow...I always thought the moon was above the clouds.

Never realized how far up those clouds are.

So when it rains, doesn't the moon get rain too?

If this is true, how can the clouds block the moons view at times?

Nothing makes sense anymore....

I t's a huge machine. it takes special/unique parts, Jigs and fixtures to put it together.All that steel special tooling is repurposed for the next generation projects. Just like we can't make certain military airplanes anymore after the production line is shutdown.

But you go on believing whatever makes you feel like a "special insider"

Trump would be playing golf on the Moon already had he appointed Dr.Astro to lead NASA.

Why not put a moon rover on the moon?

Something odd about putting them on Mars but not the Moon.

Strange logic.

Anything recovered from our old landers would be incredibly valuable.

Hard to understand why..........


Unless you know why.

And your a genius! I totally believe you! Thanks for the information!

I sure wish they had saved those “jigs”. Seems such a shame that they were “lost”. Ahh well. Let’s all just concentrate on going to MARS!

You are obviously a smart and honest man.

Oh. They “repurposed” them. Well, that explains it all.

Thanks

nice

I was hoping it was flying around the moon. Oh well.

SpaceX needs to do a private lunar mission. A decade or so ago there was a plan to send a lunar buggy to the moon and rich people would pay to maneuver it on the lunar surface. Time to investigate the Shard and the other places.

They never come back to sit on the tree stump,either, they just leave it to rot.

Thats the worst recording I have seen. Are you an amateur?
