If they can pull off everything this animation suggests it will be impressive. My money is on something blowing up.

What are the odds Musks' roadster is destroyed?

SUCCESS!


AND FVKC YOU CBS NEWS FOR CUTTING THE FEED JUST AT LIFT OFF.

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

Well that was cool. An explosion would have been cooler though.

They're trying to send people to Mars. When did NASA do that?

God you choose the weirdest shit to get mad about.

You noticed...

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?



That's just cool. I don't recall the boosters from Discovery separating then finding their way back to Fla.


Yup - just like NASA.

From his post, 1978.

Very cool. Excellent use of CGI.










Did I get that right, spandos?

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.

Test flights are now gimmicky? I think you’re seeing things that aren’t there.

Ah...
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

....or worse, an artist.

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.

I believe there was a copy of it in the glovebox as well.

The twin booster parallel touch down is some EPIC sh!t...

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. We should be for discovery.


Or if you're Pwns - something NASA could do in 1978.
