I agree, which is why I offered Blue Origin's New Shepard as an example of a truly phallic rocket. But I am saying that Musk cannot make it look ultra phallic, because it would violate the "Trade Dress" of Blue Origin. It would be like putting Pepsi into the distinctly curved bottle that Coke made famous. Musk's "Trade Dress" is big fins. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77863298 United States 09/28/2019 12:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Rockets have always seemed terribly inefficient to me though. Even a re-usable thruster which cuts the costs to get into orbit considerably - all the energy in that fuel just to elevate the mass, with such a big "x" factor of things that could go wrong in the execution sequences, causing catastrophic failures. Look at the 'projectile' in this video astro, if it were scaled up, it almost looks like to tip/cone/payload of a rocket. Save the progessive-accelerating rockets for organic payloads that can't handle Mach 7 conditions, and shoot payloads into space with electricity? Seems clean, cheap, and maybe even possible in the realm of physics. What do you think Astro, plausible? |

Quoting: UD 75926151 Does it fly like the shuttle until landing and then go upright? No, it kind of belly-flops like a skydiver does. Then at the last minute it turns on the engine and lands upright. The tail fins along with the canards look large enough to sustain flight combined that with the directional nozzles made me wonder if it didn't do exactly that. |

Musk doesn't want to make the rocket fly in the atmosphere during re-entry; he wants to make it slow down without burning extra fuel. The belly-flop maneuver creates drag which slows it down, and the fins keep it under control. |

It's repackaged and slightly improved 1920's Robert Goddard technology. Quoting: Neil WeakLegs 77675510 That's a bit like calling the Concord a repackaged Wright flyer. I'm sorry but you were dead wrong. Other than being a liquid fuel rocket oh, it shares almost nothing in common with the original Goddard prototype. This is cutting-edge technology it stands to be potentially the world's first fully reusable orbital rocket. This could open up the solar system in ways we haven't even fully grasped yet. Utter horse shit as usual from a guy that well knows that mankind has been about 400 miles from the surface of this planet. That is all. 350 to 400 MILES. From the SURFACE. But give us money money money money. The Moon landing lie was busted on the 50 th year anniversary. If you still believe you might as well stick your thumbs up your ass and whistle dixi |

Yeah, Neil Armstrong and his Mason buddies (Astroshill what lodge to do belong to?) said himself that he guided the return module with no navigation, using his eye sight back from the moon. Yah ok Neil. Nobody believes anymore. |

SpaceX is a private company and they are funding this rocket's development entirely themselves. Just wanted to make that clear. Also, they seem to be doing it far cheaper and making more progress than the government's SLS rocket, which was supposed to be an "easy kitbash" of old Shuttle era hardware. PRIVATE MY ASS. Give me a fucking break. No business losing millions and millions of dollars a year, not turning a single profit for a decade like ALL of Musks companies would fold up and go under if it were "private" after being in the red for a decade. "The U.S. Air Force granted SpaceX a generous $40.7 million contract to develop their Raptor Engine, which will be used on the BFR and potentially future Air Force projects." And that is just ONE example and I can provide hundreds. They are owned and operated via grants from the government. They are a government controlled operation. Private company my ass. You're delusional. You are truly a shill for the I_AM_AN_ILLITERATE_RACIST Elon and the Rosicrucian/Nazi NASA. Which has continually raped Americans and the world of trillions of tax dollars for the past 60 years. And went NO WHERE. |
