Lets discuss this launch, and the savior of the human race, Elon Musk.
You didn't need to make another thread you fucking autistic musk faggot.
Lincoln Ortiz
I for one welcome our new overlord, Lord musk
Mason Bennett
Heaven forbid I make a thread about an actual relevant scientific event, as opposed to another fucking flatearth, or IQ circle jerk thread.
Veeky Forums really is a shit hole now.
Kayden Garcia
>who could be behind this post, i wonder
Carter Murphy
40% isn't good lads.
My digits confirm that we will however, have a launch tonight.
Matthew Adams
>implying Bezos cares what you or Musk thinks
Cameron Wright
that's not the point you fucking moron
we don't need 5+ spacex threads up at one time
Jordan Rivera
>one of these three rockets won't exist until years from now
Kevin Johnson
There is two threads, this one and another which is a general 'why is spacex shit' thread.
So no, it is you, that is the fucking moron.
Hopefully, you get banned.

>one of these launchers has landed and re-flown five times in a row
Matthew Hughes
Like the last post in that thread says, "Fuck this hater thread". The other thread doesn't even say "spacex" in the catalog, it has a fucking blank in it. ULA shills can keep their shit thread.
>we don't need 5+ spacex threads up at one time Which threads would those be? I only see two, plus another one bitching about Elon's Mars plans.
>>one of these launchers has landed and re-flown five times in a row Babby flights that didn't have a payload or even go sideways. Fucking ezmode.
Nathan Price
East Orlando user here. Weather is shit as usual. Rocket will not launch. Post memes for luck.

Bezos: >realizes he's balding early on >shaves it all off early on
Musk: >realizes he's balding early on >gets extremely obvious hair transplant to satisfy insecurity
kek
Michael Perry
Who thought that fucking feather was a good logo. Looks ugly as fuck
Andrew Hill
plebeians who use 18th-century kerosene fuel bitching about "ezmode"
Blake Cox
New Glenn is as far from today as ITS will be from NG initial flight.Also Heavy is able to throw as much to GTO as NG because of better mass fractions and staging efficiency
Elijah Brooks
you're right, spacex logo is much better
Dominic Sanders
It is actually, yeah.
Cooper Watson
simple is sexy.
Aaron Gutierrez
>New Glenn is as far from today as ITS will be from NG initial flight. the ITS in that photo is already being scaled down to SLS size, and won't even fly in the 2020s
>Also Heavy is able to throw as much to GTO as NG because of better mass fractions and staging efficiency the fuck is "Heavy" falcon heavy? FH reusable GTO is like 8000kg whereas NG is 14000kg
Dylan Gonzalez
If Falcon 9 used Hydrogen, it would need to double in size.
Luke Torres
No point talking about what a paper rocket can throw Might as well talk about a Falcon double heavy with 5 cores + expanded upper stage could do.
Blue Origin is still a pretty small company
Juan Phillips
Can all you spergs stop the Blue Origin vs SpaceX screaming?
there's a rocket launching in a bit.
Henry Rodriguez
lol I made that just over two years ago, had to see the .psd to be sure though, still proud of it
Jaxon Flores
you're here forever
Aiden Watson
>FH reusable GTO is like 8000kg whereas NG is 14000kg They're both 0kg until they launch. Guess which one is launching any time soon?
Owen Allen
Its quality, i'll give you that
Carter Lee
With downrange landing can do around 13 000kg we will see in the coming years about the prices of different configs but expending center core might be a popular dual even triple launch option.
Jose Ortiz
>moving the goalposts
falcon can't even fit two standard GTO sats in the fairing let alone 3
Sebastian Carter
Honestly, i have kinda missed it. The last couple of launch-treads were civil, polite, almost...boring. Its just not the same without the autistic screaming.
Jason Cook
reminder that six hours after the launch we have a landing too
Joshua Robinson
whats up with the question mark and insert?
Ian Reed
>>moving the goalposts >not even getting off the practice field
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Why do I love ULA so much? It's pretty simple when I think about it. ULA isn't just the best launch provider in the country; they might just be the greatest launch provider of all time. Just imaging the Altas V riding through the skies of Earth, the wind on its fairing, the mighty RD-180 below it. As she rides through the red sky, NASA swoons at her very scent. They know how she smells; the essence of burning RP-1 smell is sold in Orlando under the name of "Space Orgasm." The very nature of ULA is mystery. Could they be playing a deeper game than even Tory Bruno realizes? The answer is yes, ULA has transcended such boundaries as the physical world, and has free will to do whatever they sees fit. However, ULA is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that they does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the ULA is not one that is easily penetrated. ULA rockets are such a force of nature in this realm that nothing can truly touch them, the only thing keeping them bound to this world at all is their will to exist within the preordained boundaries understood physics. ULA is not only beyond the comprehension of us, it exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe the plume of exhaust gasses from this Delta IV, the gorgeous and rippling flames, the gallant fairing, and most importantly, its engines. Her engines, like cauldrons straight from hell, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of ULA. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. ULA is not just a launch provider, a formless collection of engineers and rockets; they are themselves the binding that holds the word together. Without ULA, Musk the Menace takes over and the entire space industry as we know it crumbles. The Mississippi would stop flowing without ULA, Kessler syndrome would take over in orbit, and the space station would fall without their fiery gaze. These are just of a few of the reasons why I like ULA so much.
Grayson Hill
because that reflection looked like the Dragon logo when I first saw it years ago
>"Space Orgasm." More like Space Masturbation, amirite?
