I'll be pretty surprised if the 'showerhead ' pad doesn't melt and throw fiery shards all over the pelicans. But i do think it will make it to Hawaii.

I remember reading they had that shower pad in development for years. From what I can tell, they wanted that 1st launch more than any regulators did, and I get that.

This one should be real though. If they complied with regulators, this would be their first launch and basically a year lost and no chance of orbit. This weekend, we have a real chance of orbit.

This whole thing seems knee deep in the hoopla.

If I owned a bar, I would have a launch party. If the launch is successful, all girls in the bar drink for free. If it blows up, guys drink for free. This way I can single out the trannies.

Sending a skyscraper to space. Can hold 300 tons of payload. If he gets about 20 of them on line, it's estimated only $1million a launch. $2.5B for next launch of SLS.

You have to figure out how to do space travel cheap or there's no point to it. I mean, fuck Mars, it's worthless. You go get platinum and gold and helium 3. You go build 24/7 solar power plants.

But most of all, you just leave the weird motherfucker alone and let him do what he does.

Space shuttle was 24 ton payload.

This thing is going to be lit

All seems impossible anyway. It was so close though... It was at the end of the final burn before the automatic kablewy triggered

A while back I had an opportunity to buy into SpaceX. The minimum investment was $2.5 million. Obviously, I don't have that. But a friend and I were able to put together a group. I had to really sell my wife on putting our 50 grand in. She's a lot more conservative than I am. At the last minute, SpaceX raised our share price from $400 to $436 and the deal blew up. The two biggest guys in the deal said, "Fuck these people." Personally, I didn't care about the extra 9%. This is something where I figured my $50,000 would be worth well over a million in 20 years. To me that little extra was insignificant. Maybe that's why the guys who opted out are rich and I'm not.

I think there's an ETF with space x and Tesla. An investor in space x, Ron Baron offers it.

I thought it was some pet rock type shit. I might've even had a couple and just deleted it. Even the logo looks like some carnival token.

Booster was wobbling badly coming down. Flight test 2's problem was the sloshing of fuel and engines failed lighting. Looks like it might be the same problem again.

starship went to orbit. how is that a fail? the booster didnt land, oh well. the real goal is to land back at the pad anyway. this was going to land an ocean platform.

Getting something into orbit is something we've been able to do for decades.
