Once China copies Falcon9 and FalconHeavy it will be over

(you)

This is literally what Musk wants to happen though.

The more in the race the better.

>That pic

Haha they must be fucking joking.

What kind of contamination does this rockets produce.
I´ve read somewhere that they are pretty damaging to the ozone layer, they also said that at this rate in 2050 ozone layer damage by rockets would be more than cfc´s ever did.

Western companies don't use Chinese launchers because chinks will just rip off patented and classified technology while integrating the satellites into the launcher. China won't ever become a major player in the launch industry until the perception surrounding them changes.

Alarmist retardation, these are the same cunts that claimed Concorde was going to kill the ozone layer. The ozone layer will be fine.

why the hell does rocketlab think they can survive in the future w/o any reusability? I don't get it.

this rocket produces co2 and water, which is far better than what most chinese rockets produce

Musk likes races. Races are exciting.

PLEASE COPY I REALLY DO HOPE YOU COPY

SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE SPACE RACE

Is that why one of their rockets crashed into a city, and killed according the the government "7" people,despite entire apartment blocks, houses, and high-rises being completely destroyed

Good thing I shuo zhong wen. Sorry waiguo.

RIP Electron.

pretty good for a bunch of 20-year-olds testing shit in an abandoned factory. Glad they're getting funding, even if it is a shrunken F9 they're copying

That's why they need landing rockets like the Falcon, so they don't have to drop stages over their own country.

Or just build a fucking launch facility on the coast.

Based Chinese. They'll bring space travel to the masses instead of just richfags. I'm actually beginning to believe Xi Jinping thought about the transition from their capitalist traits to true socialism in 2050.

What happens when China (or rather, certain state-tied Chinese and multinational companies) is technologically at the precipice, whilst others, who are capable of originality/innovation, aren't? Will said companies and related industries stagnate, unable to create new and competitive products?

This. Musk is a businessman. He didn't do shit in regards to the engineering of it.

Yes. We can trust authoritarians who can't even provide water, decent infrastructure and living conditions to 90% of their own population, who's culture is decidedly anti-liberal (namely: egalitarianism), to provide space travel to the masses.

>90%

>Chinese aluminum was cut with something like magnesium or some metal oxide
>Rocket breaks apart 10 seconds into its flight and rains molten metal over millions of gutter oil salesmen

If you'd seen the quality of Xiaomi brand goods, you'd think twice about saying that. They've just opened up shops in Europe and are competing with Western brands easily.

>chinese QC is universally horrible

Not entirely.

They can make decent stuff if they try.

How much does Xi Jinping pay you to shill your shitty slave labour products?

>namely: egalitarianism

That's the shit that slows down or destroys progress as you try to make everyone "equal".

It killed NASA

I didn't say I agreed with it. I said China is culturally and governmentally anti-egalitarian. Therefore they wont be 'bringing space travel to the masses'. The only reason to this would be for principles/values, as it is stupid economically and scientifically, which China does not hold.

what are chinese heatshields like

China is the new Rome at its rise.
They won't innovate much but they will perfect our technology.I actually think they might create a somewhat high tech society that will be a chinese version of Star Trek's Federation as silly as it sounds.They are far more fascinated by technological progress and science then West is today.

All of /g/ uses Xiaomi so...

And /g/ is fucking retarded, what's your point?

Most of /g/ is happy with Xiaomi products. You might know that /g/ values good build quality highly (thinkpads)

idc everyone on Earth can pitch in and advance humanity the way it should have been moving since 1959.

False.

The thing most people doing business with chinks don't relaise is: they won't do even the most basic things if you don't instruct them so.

Think of them like a program without any kind of AI. You need to specify every single action.

>They are far more fascinated by technological progress and science then West is today.
They are mostly fascinated by technology than can be used to further subjugate the populace - anything else is merely icing on the cake.

cont.

The ideals of western nations don´t mix well with technological society, for that matter. Ted Kazcynski ought to be the most notorious critic of technology and its devastating impact on individual liberty.

Chinks, on the other hand, have no qualms about furthering authoritarian rule, as they´ve never known any other form of society.

I think it is the soot that comes from solids that is the problem. Since solids can't really be use in reuseably/high launch rates, it isn't an issue.

Why do the Chinese copy everything?

>having a roof over your head
>cleann clothes
>food
>access to healthcare
>muh slave labour

>still using LOX and kerosene

SpaceX will have successful launches of BFR using the Raptor engine running on methane by then.

It's cheaper than reinventing the wheel from scratch all the time.
Can focus on perfecting designs after getting a hang on them.
China is actually fucking scary in this and I can't tell if people who keep shitting on it for making low quality garbage are serious or not. China makes everything. Even most expensive high tech shit on earth is made there. Why are plastic toys and bargain bin clothes the focus?

>let's create a global transport network using flying nukes that burn most potent greenhouse gas known to man
based Musk

>Payload: 200kg

HAHAHAHAHA...

This is the company that's making this rocket: mobile.twitter.com/Linkspace_China/status/961587794941419521

See you in 2050 Chang!

>burn most potent greenhouse gas known to man

Because burnt methane is a super sajajin greenhouse gas, it even contains dihydrogen monoxide

Musk absolutely had involvement in the design process of the Falcon 9, and still does.

This is what a cult looks like everyone.

>ITT Muskbots don't know what the DCX was.

This is documented you dumb nigger

DC-X didn't even go higher than the stratosphere

>Pic related.
It's a rocket that could take off and land on its own feet. It only couldn't go high because it was a 1/4 scale prototype.

Tfw you realize you have no chance against China

Chinese engines are shit.
Russia literally gave them several advanced RD-171s to copy and their copy is inferior in every way.

Motherfucker he is the lead designer of SpaceX, he's an engineer. I fucking hate retards like you.

>slave labourers
Yeah ok bud, keep believing that China is still stuck in the 1980's

>all of /g/
/csg/ is not all of /g/ poorfag, I bet you also use AMD products to you fucking moron

Yea, that's right, you were caught talking wrong shit and now you don't know what to say, you fucking loser.

Where's his professional engineering license?

Big man on campus. I'm sure you get all the pussy at your local cult meetings.

Big mistake letting China become a WTO member, without getting something else than cheap chinese products in return. Like forcing them to abandon their communist ideology.

We should had gassed and nuked them in the 60's. This one will get ugly, like the Peloponnesian war between Sparta and Athene. Similartities between China and US, Sparta and Athene is shocking. History surely does repeat itself.

outsourcing has never really saved companies money
It's never been about the cost of labor or whatever, there are huge costs in dealing with foreign countries speaking foreign languages..

It was always abou treally shitty laws/regulations forcing companies out.

>Like forcing them to abandon their communist ideology.
They did that decades ago.
China is now a Meritocratic-oligarcy single party government with a State-capatailism mix-market economy.
Get with the times gramps.

>State-capatailism
The fuck.. insert "State-capitalism", no idea how that happened.

They're ruling political party is literally the "Communist Party of China".

making an artists' rendering of the external appearance is the easy part

In name only

And Best Korea is called Democratic People's Republic despite being absolute hereditary monarchy

ahahahaha, go read his biography you fucking jealous losers

xi is pushing them back into real communism

we should have nuked them just as mcarthur wanted it

The (((((communist))))) chinese state is the biggest mistake in the history of humankind.

not even fuking memeing

we live in that timeline where we allowed Nazi germany to exist and also made it rich by becoming dependent on them

not a good combo senpai

the fuck are you talking about, China has little imperialistic ambitions and is not a threat for the West, just an economic competitor, and competition benefits us all

>Where's his professional engineering license?

this is what certified engineerfags actually believe

I'm not even a Muskfag, but really respect him for what he has acomplished.

Ignore the faggots on this board. They're just bitter autists who are envious as they will never achieve anything with their lives.

DCX you say..

>In a post-accident report, NASA's Brand Commission blamed the accident on a burnt-out field crew who had been operating under on-again/off-again funding and constant threats of outright cancellation. The crew, many of them originally from the SDIO program, were also highly critical of NASA's "chilling" effect on the program, and the masses of paperwork NASA demanded as part of the testing regimen.[citation needed]

>NASA had taken on the project grudgingly after having been "shamed" by its very public success under the direction of the SDIO. Its continued success was cause for considerable political in-fighting within NASA due to it competing with their "home grown" Lockheed Martin X-33/VentureStar project. Pete Conrad priced a new DC-X at $50 million, cheap by NASA standards, but NASA decided not to rebuild the craft in light of "budget constraints"

This kind of BS is common under NASA but would not fly under Musks watch

>China has little imperialistic ambitions

What ist Tibet
What is the One Belt, One Road initiative
Why chinese building fuking Island with rockets and military bases on them in the water of other nations
What is REAL CHINA aka Taiwan
What is Hongkong
What are Concentrationcamps for people who like to meditate
What is forced organ harvest
What is stealing other nations technologie
What is giving Nord korea Nukes and resources

Its not a threat to the west you fuck, that state of soulless insects is a threat to all of humanity

This country is so embarrassing to follow.
Even building cities copying Paris.
They don´t get that stealing a idea is worth nothing when you can´t do it better.

that´s like ylyl material for Elon

youtube.com/watch?v=TcY4JovmQ8c

we really should drope some neutronenbombe over the mainland

>What is

All of those are in immediate neighbourhood of China

China has no imperialist ambitions for global dominance, contrary to the US globalists, or lets say, islam

those two are far more of a threat than China is

>All of those are in immediate neighbourhood of China
>China has no imperialist ambitions for global dominance, contrary to the US globalists, or lets say, islam
>those two are far more of a threat than China is

All of those are in immediate neighbourhood of Nazia Germany

Nazi Germany has no imperialist ambitions for global dominance, contrary to the US globalists, or lets say, the Jews

those two are far more of a threat than Nazia Germany is

nice edgy music
that's caled a levitating projectile, US army had this technology literally in 60's

it's about precision and less fuel consumption and on a very big boosters like Falcon heavy got, it will take chinks another 20 years to do it

>it will take chinks another 20 years to do it
or they simply steal it just like every other highend tech they got
