SpaceX Launch Thread - FALCON HEAVY

>The recent partial failure was caused by humans
exactly

You know they just lost a satellite with their last launch, right?

Alright, fine. How about normal LEO satellites that turn a profit?

>Building such a complex machine requires lots of resources, which is why, historically, only government agencies and corporations with deep pockets have been able to get into the satellite business. Much of the cost is wrapped up in the equipment carried by a satellite -- transponders, computers and cameras. A typical weather satellite carries a price tag of $290 million; a spy satellite might cost an additional $100 million.

They can easily cost more. Zuma cost billions yet was a spy satellite.

Why you lyin? The satellites weren't lost.

>SES-14 needs about 4 weeks longer than planned commissioning time, meaning that entry into service now expected in August instead of July.[12] Nevertheless, SES-14 is still expected to be able to meet the designed life time, since it does not use chemical propulsion which could reduce more life time if such thing happened.[13] SES informed NASA that they expect no effect on the quality of observations and data of the agency’s GOLD instrument after the launch anomaly.[14]

>Al Yah 3 was also confirmed healthy after more than 12 hours without further statement, and like SES-14, Al Yah 3's maneuvering plan was also revised to still fulfill the original mission.[15]

THANK YOU BASED ELON

The rocket was so off course that automatic self detonation should have been triggered. They're however too proud of their 'spotless record' and endangered lives not doing so.

I don't think the rocket is going to be the problem. NASA is going to fuck something up. Worse than hubble this time.
