SpaceX Is Launching a Rocket the Size of the Statue of Liberty...

Another thread ruined by astro

Elon Musk, the man who can't drive a car properly is now the master of space travel! Cool story, bro!

I'd love to see Elon get into submarines. Those are waaaaay cooler than rockets. You can explore the ocean, not just fly to 62 miles up in the sky then come back and have a circle-jerk on Joe Rogan's podcast.

Take Elon's rocket and submerge it in the ocean. It will sink like the Titanic but with no loss of life, just credibility for the rest of his life.

Looks legit. For Buck Rogers maybe.

Thanks for the pine!!!

They sure do seem to be in a hurry to build massive rockets to get off planet....

I'd say...

Maybe its a ploy to have them blow up, while their in the air, then the world will think they died...

Meanwhile, on some beach somewhere...

Image didn't work. Look up his Mars rocket. That thing looks so ridiculous.

If I was the third richest man in the world, I wouldn't piss about with shit like this. Way more cooler stuff do with your billions if you are eccentric, like try to figure out time travel or buy an island and create a your own country as Utopia for the world's smartest and creative people.

It's all theater. Elon isn't one of the richest men in the world. The dude is living in a random $50,000 house in Texas? I mean... people love this guy, but every time I've seen him speak, I just see the Joe Biden of entrepreneurs.

its a way to flagrantly waste the wealth of the society whilst there are millions of homeless and have people get excited about it

what are they accomplishing by this? it's probably nukes in space to kill us, or lasers.

the whole space program has always been about exterminating humans, obliterating countries who try to free themselves from global money slavery

But a sad commentary to the educational deficit.

The thing is, Branson wanted to go into space back in the 90s, then again what - 15 years ago was it? And "they" nixed that shit. "No civilians in space, too dangerous" but voila! Some weirdo from South Africa comes bouncing on the scene, being called a genius, miraculously becomes the world's richest man and he's now the Master of Space Travel! Cool. Story. Bro.

Bring on the space rocket theater, see how many believe that they "went to outer space". 62 miles up ain't space, it's 11 miles below the Firmament.

The Saturn 5 is big. How big is Elon Musk's pop-gun?

Interesting times...

Educated in Canada...

No empire state building comparison???

Lots of men have visions, only a handful, though, have ever had the funds to make them a reality...

Rockets in space have been obsolete for decades. These big launches are only for show.

Here’s a secret- between the rockets and the more exotic propulsion systems, there exists a class of relatively cheap and simple engines using gyroscopes for propulsion.

Eric Laithwaite worked on them publicly, but they were probably developed before he became aware of the concept.

A man named Robert Cook made a simple engine using centrifugal force. He wrote a book about it called, “The Death of Rocketry.”

You types be Racist. Can't even write one sentence without involving Race. Yes u peons.Bye u types.

It's all moot if you can't ascend beyond the Karmen Line (62 miles). 11 miles above that is the Firmament.

Then explain why I was able to measure the distance to the Perseverance rover as hundreds of thousands of km from earth the night after it launched?

Musk is simply an actor of very average intelligence.

He is NOT an engineering genius, or a super-entrepreneur.

There are any number of online videos that have investigated his past, and found him to be a lying bullshitter about almost everything.

He wasn't born into an impoverished family. His family owned an emerald mine, and Elon used to sell them in NYC. He once bragged that his father's safe door couldn't be closed because of all the cash made from selling emeralds.

His entire legend was concocted by Intelligence, and he serves as their puppet to this day.

Yes, there are some great concise videos outlining his jive-ass nonsense. My favourite bit is how he lived in a YMCA! The guy OWNED the frat house he stayed in at college, used it as a night club too! Then he invented the 21st century, became the richest man in the universe and now he'll explore the universe! Yay! Coolest story evah, brah.

You study at a school for the mentally handicapped?

I am not saying the rockets aren’t real. Just that they are obsolete and do not represent a sincere effort to colonize space. These sublunar projects are for show.
