"Why did you have to go and make things so complicated?" -Avirl Keep It Simple, Stupid. The answer is easy once you know the question... But first, the correct question is very difficult to discover. ...For the answer is singular, but questions themselves are multitude. ______.gg/WGx2TWU |

Mix in a little Halon as well. Quoting: Justme C'est Moi That should put a stop to that little fire in a hurry. Since they have their navigation and control systems spot on, I'd figure that a nitrogen flooding system at the pad might work and save the weight of any on-board system. This problem would not happen on the moon or Mars, since there's not enough atmosphere or O2 to sustain combustion. |

If they need a good cryogenic engineer, I am available. :) Last Edited by JustmeTX on 05/05/2021 10:10 PM Justme |

If you just want to see the launch and landing click the second video below (SpaceX link) Launch at about 6:25 Landing at about 12:10 . this is so fake it is not even funny. Look at this video: [link to youtu.be (secure)] Elon could not design engine with enough trust, so he went to Russian and got few old engines from them. Rebuilt them reverse engineer and he flies them now. Just check how many engines was needed to actually fly to the moon. Elon's rocket is empty inside with just enough fuel to go 80-100km (if) up in the air, deploy helium balloon and drop down. That thing is not flying anywhere far. Earth is not flat. . |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79008265 In reality, nobody has been into 'space' because it's all a giant lie. Excuse. Please remind me again why we are suppose to just believe what you think. Well in all fairness you think you're just supposed to believe what Nasa/Disney tell you to think even though they have nothing but cgi and hollywood effects to display. If it isn't in The Bible then it is just conspiracy theory. |

Ummm... why do you feel the need to include that "the earth is not flat"? Given your certainty... care to provide proof for the rest of us of actual shape of the earth? Cheers |

It's not even on the front page and should be pinned. This particular maneuver is extremely difficult, yet critical to the SpaceX team being able to land off planet, and critical to easy reuse of such a large rocket. As an engineer and entrepreneur, I have amazing respect for Elon Musk and the entire SpaceX team! Five stars and pin request! |

Will be rad to see this develop over the next decade and see what kind of changes drastically dropping the cost of entry to space brings SwampCreature |
