>ULA boat standing by

fuck you ULA. Vulcan can't save you now!

So, where are they going to get all that water? Mars doesn't have enough ice on it to make that much ocean. They'd need to crash a few 100k ice comets into it to get that much water.

Just break up Ceres above it

This shit's getting kind of boring.
Next notable footage will be falcon heavy with 3 fucking landings, or a stage failing its landing on ground.
The rest, we've already seen.

>BulgariaSat
WE WUZ 6th COUNTRY IN SPEIS 'N SHIET
Really hope it doesn't blow up.

I live near Vandenberg. I should go check it out since I have press credentials. lol

Launch will fail during second stage flight.

Screencap this post.

inb4 fog.

>no technical webcast

FUCK YOU SPACE X

Wat?

Yeah I noticed they stopped that last launch.
The reason I watch it is because of m/s.
Also I can't fucking stand the anchors if it's not the old guy.

Technical webcast; just the raw launch footage with coms, no cringy, dipshit announcers who talk over what I actually want to see. I don't need someone talking to describe what I am looking at. I know just fine what the systems and flight dynamics are. I don't need some PR degree idiot bumbling about max Q or separation 10 seconds before or after it happens.

I also don't want to hear a bunch of manchildren from non-engineering departments clapping, screaming and hollering every time something happens.

They have absolutely no class.

What this fella said.

spacex very badass not gona lie

Like that will really help at all. Ceres is really tiny with only a bit of an ice mantel.

He's an old guy.
It means he's done this shit forever.
I don't remember for which company, but he's basically been covering launches for 20 years.
It means he's composed, doesn't get hipped, and doesn't stumble on words.

No wonder I couldn't find it.

>"As you can see here, there's a rocket launching...."

>not wanting the Ron Burgundy anchor

Bulgarianfag here.

While we were with Russia we were sending cosmonauts in space and now we're stuck with shitty tincans and by a scummy mafia private owner at that.

Fuck you america for ruining the world.

I hope this blows up and buries nasa and your country while at it.

Please tell me that's fake.

>That pedo mustache
my sides. Why would anyone wear that on his face.

It's real. Please don't remind me.

stop whining and go watch today's Soyuz-Volga launch intstead, if you prefer the glorious Soviet space architecture. It should be going off at 18:10 UTC.

I miss him

Where the fuck is Bulgaria anyways?

10 minuten fags
Post rare Elons

Delayed 1 hour

Bulgarians are not white.

Where its been since the 7th century.

shit
lets talk von Neumann while we wait

How many of you are gonna get tech enhancements?

do your people wear adidas and squat?

Everything east of switzerland is some level of slav

soyuz launch in 10 seconds

hwat???

What the fuck was that conclusion?
>Muh aliums may be numerical beings.
>read a book
>wait it doesn't exist.
Just shut the fuck up then?
Give me back my ten minutes.

where can stream

>read a book
Its write, brainlet

it's classified so no stream

>Elon Musk @elonmusk
>Falcon 9 will experience its highest ever reentry force and heat in today's launch. Good chance rocket booster doesn't make it back.

Sounds like we're in for a show today!

>bulgarian satellite

I just know it's going to explode.

Noice. Somehow successful launches has become boring. And i hate myself for thinking that

>no technical webcast
Why was this allowed?

it's happening

Play that SpaceX techno, white boy

...

T - 15 minutes

Dream On, Mars Man

What is that hair style called?

Mars on, dream man

Dream on, mars man

So this will be the first rocket to launch from two different states. (I think the other one launched from both 40 and 39A and was the first to launch from two different pads.)

>BulgariaSat

...

"Extra challenging" landing? I thought this sat was supposed to be rather light?

second reflight though

i remember this launch

Satellite is going geostationary

>inb4 HOLD HOLD HOLD

Earth is on the short side of its elliptic trajectory, which means the rocket has to compensate for the relatively higher velocity the planet it moving at

The sat might be light but they're launching to a geostationary orbit.

Give me a quick rundown on this launch.

...

>Bulgaria

>BulgariaSat-1 is the first geostationary communications satellite in Bulgaria's history
>designed, produced, and tested in California
>launched by SpaceX in Florida

I don't see the old guy.
This will definitely blow up.

I miss those days. These treads were great back then

>Strongback
DYEL?

Betting three (You)s on the rocket blowing up withing 15 seconds of launch

>pootin

Aparrently they do

I'll give you one as a consolation prize.

Early days always more fun for most things, was nail biting seeing the early Falcon landing attempts too

Scrub

have a (you) for bamboozling me

Actually hang on a minute, now I think about it i think the landings weren't streamed live

Dude it's fucking awesome that rocket recoveries are becoming normal now

Liftoff!

>8992153
Nope

Liftoff

Passed MaxQ, so if it would go to hell it would probably have gone by now

Looking good so far. I'm going to predict the landing a failure due to the GTO launch though.

Stage Separation

>That stage sep

Every time

Has F9 ever had a second stage failure?

When will they bring back John Asperger?

Wasn't the big bada-boom caused by a failed strut in the second stage?

>tfw MOAB's have the same gridfins

CRS-7 and AMOS-6

These livestreamed landings never get old.

Man S1 is hauling ass, grid-fins going to go cherry

No.

If they launch and land TWO FUCKING ROCKETS in a single weekend it's over

It's completely fucking over.

Elon won

>Russianshillfag here*

Get back to scrubbing my floors, you absolutely disgusting commie mongrel.

>these fucking announcers

i hope they crash their teslas on the way home

Dan those grid fins are LIT

First stage LOS

S1 RUD, screencap this

>dem burning grid fins tho

Where were you when Elon BTFO Bruno and Bezos once and for all?

>Why can't I hold all these rockets.jpg
