SMH at all the people that think SpaceX is awesome for doing what NASA did four decades ago.

They're trying to send people to Mars. When did NASA do that?Pwns wrote:SMH at all the people that think SpaceX is awesome for doing what NASA did four decades ago.

Were side boosters returning to Cape Canaveral before SpaceX or were they just falling to earth? Were core boosters returning to a ship in the ocean or just falling to earth waiting to be picked up?Pwns wrote:SMH at all the people that think SpaceX is awesome for doing what NASA did four decades ago.
That's just cool. I don't recall the boosters from Discovery separating then finding their way back to Fla.
Yup - just like NASA.

Very cool. Excellent use of CGI.

I will all but guarantee you none of us will any person walk on Mars in our lifetimes. It's going to take more than a gimmicky booster-rocket landing to get there.
I'm just sick of people gushing over Elon Musk who is nothing but a corporate welfare queen.

if only he were a defense contractor
That way we could respect him and encourage the defense welfare system
Instead he makes sciency stuff and might be an atheist

Musk shooting that Tesla into orbit with the mannequin in the space suit - to the Bowie soundtrack....
Oh and with the "Hitchhiker's Guide" reference on the car's screen....
Those two boosters touching down together...
TEH AWESOME

I think the mannequin was actually a flat earth with a muscle paralyzer injected as a giant fuck you to the flat earth society.

Indeed - this is some cool stuff. Now we can launch stuff with 3x the payload at 1/3 the cost because of returnable rockets. You have to be a determined skeptic if you aren't impressed by that.

RIGHT? Truly, something out of science fiction. People are missing an angle to things like this. These events excite people, they inspire people.
