How come you dumb fucks don't have a falcon heavy thread up?

I didn't catch up on the news, did the second stage make it back safely onto the boat?
Justin Butler
I only saw the landings starting at
37:00
Michael Brooks
Isn't he putting one of his other company's cars into orbit?
Nolan Russell
Nah he's probably planning to bore a tunnel through spacetime to allow people to casually travel to the moon.

Bentley Cruz
its already up there and on its way to mars
Gabriel Gonzalez
this is things is basically a voltron dick its definitely m
Ethan Ortiz
Because yet another SpaceX launch isn't worth a thread. We had one for the last shuttle launch, etc. Actual historic stuff.

what is some good space mecha inovling cars?
Ayden Cook
Cuz the ULA shills spam reports about them.
Asher Martinez
Literally the opening of Heavy Metal.
Adam Morgan
Where's he going, /m/?

What happened to the billions and millions of stars a galaxies they told us about, or the satellites and space debris that orbit the earth?

Camera's exposure settings are such that it can't pick them up.
>or the satellites and space debris that orbit the earth?
Those are all tiny. Space is big it probably won't pass within a hundred km of another satellite during its flight.
Aiden Scott
That's far less aesthetic than I was expecting

lets fuck our limited environment up some more. great.

He- he's gone... but not forgotten.

Seems it is mostly only really heavy in the expendable mode. Reusing the boosters seems to take away a lot of lift capacity. Although it will be better than reusable single Falxon 9.
Tyler Reed
It's LEO capacity is more than twice that of the next active rocket (Delta IV Heavy), and GTO payload is almost twice that of the next active rocket (Delta IV Heavy).
It's not a Saturn V, but then, nothing is.

>The center core did not safely return to Earth because two of its three engines failed to light during the landing burn. So, Musk said, it slammed into the ocean at 300mph, throwing debris onto its nearby drone ship and taking out two of the boat’s engines.
Swing and a miss, then.

What?

Earth Engine when?

Oh come on, mod, discussion of space technology is very m/-related.

I see /m/ has a mod now that's just as clueless as its shit-posters. Sorry, Veeky Forums, pardon our interruption.
Blake Ramirez
I still don't see how his Mars plans could work if BFR takes 4 months to get to Mars.
They need to get it under a month for any realistic settlement.
Chase Price
Well, you need to start somewhere, don't you?
Christian King
??
They send two Cargo-only-BFR on the first pass, with robot assemblers to set up a partial colony area.
Two years later two more go, one is cargo-only, the other is a 50/50 Cargo passenger model. These land nearby adding to the colony infrastructure / supply situation and inject the first 30-60-ish settlers.
Two years later, if all is going well, more cargo and passenger BFRs head on up.
Jose Morgan
And if anything fails what then? Every mission would need to go perfectly for this to work. It's still a dream. We need better engines.
