dorlomin Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 That dual landing was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The car in space thing reminds me of a 1981 cartoon called "Heavy Metal"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWMPe3wF9jQ It opens with a car in space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt mean anything. They switched it to CGI graphics after that. You all are so easily fooled. That rocket didnt even go out to space. There is no space, there is a sphere dome and that is why the rocket went around and not UP." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a bit of work, shame they don't show more of the fuckups. It's incredible to me, a fire work stuck up a broomstick with a few paddles, and that level of control. All computerised of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Space x launching again today at 2.17, weather dependent. Looks like their going to try and catch the fairings that make up the nose cone in a big net out at sea. http://www.spacex.com/webcast 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 SpaceX are trying to launch a planet spotting telescope tonight, at about 11.50. The new thing is they're going to try to catch the stage 2 rocket for the first time, on a ship called "Of course I still love you." Evidence I'm sure that Elon Musk is an Ian M Banks fan, which makes him OK with me. http://www.spacex.com/webcast 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat(The most tip top) Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Has that Chinese space station crashed yet? Yes It broke up on reentry over the South Pacific so the chance of bits hitting anything were even slimmer than expected 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
