That was amazing! Most powerful launch since the last Saturn V in 1973.

no biggie, bugs are supposed to be ironed out, just glad the cargo has been successfully deployed and that proves the concept.

A milestone in mankind !

 

Tho children are still starving while we watch this indeed great achievement.

 

Not much to be proud of as a race, one travels to the stars while others fight for food and water.

 

 

Once we overcome this biased situation we might be ready. For now, we better take care of our own planetary problems before we multiply them on other planets.

 

 

Anyway, Elon, you rock ! Now go and do something for those who had no meal today.

This always pops up. Here the best way to look at it:

Is it so big success? I do not say it is completely not but the only thing I see to be fancy about is that the rocket has been made by private person, not government.

But technology is not breakthrough, if there weren't cutbacks many years ago, the governmental projects would achieved that long time ago.

As billionaire Musk can do whatever he wants so he hired people to do the job.

Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D

This is a good point: the real factor is the involvement of the private sector in the space segment. This was considered unattainable a few years back, because of the massive financial resources associated to space exploitation.

Imo, Musk's main success was to be able to concentrate enough capital to make this happen. And this is not a minor achievement: I am working in a related sector, and 'to make things happen' is the single most difficult factor in the chain: one may have the capital, the technology, the people, the knowledge, and the will, and still not be able to move forward.

I had the chance to talk with a few NASA engineers involved in the Orion program, and I could sense some bitterness about the rise of Space X: not because of competitiveness or other similar feelings, but because they knew they could do so much more, if only they were given enough funds. Last decades have not been kind on the space sector, too many cuts. And to think that the whole of space business costs less than the equivalent of a coffee per day to the taxpayer...

You must be kidding right? Show me someone else that have a rocket with 27 engines working together. Or even have plans for such a vehicle! :huh: And lands all the cores back safely! This is ground breaking engineering m8.

we cant really mention starving children..

we spend our time and money simulating expensive death machines.

that treat children as collateral damage.

 

a pilot in a glass cockpit, should not throw stones :)

 

its too hypocritical for me :)

Personally, I'm leaning toward fifteen years. There are a lot of problems.

 

Btw, to put things into perspective:

- Falcon Heavy development cost estimated by Elon is 500 milion $, unit cost is 90 milion.

- NASA projected cost of developing SLS rocket is 6 bilion $, 18 bilion for the whole program with Orion spacecraft.

- Airbus A380 unit price is 450 milion $, with a total program cost of 15 to 25 bilion Euro. And Emirates Airlines alone have more than 100 of those airplanes. Even with heavy discount from Airbus they probably received, that's bilions of $ in cost and materiel just to make this fleet.

 

So why don't you go pester Emirates or United or Lufthansa execs for spending ludicrous amount of money on aircraft instead of helping starving children. Imagine how many children could be saved if each airline bought one less aircraft.

Or if people just stopped travelling for pleasure by air.

Or not...

Since there are children still starving somewhere you should not spend time playing video games and spend your time and money helping those less fortunate. During the time you spend online you could be out giving at least one person a meal...

 

It's the typical socialist that insists others should go without to help others and derides success. It's the typical socialist that never lifts a finger to help people but has no problem pointing fingers at people. It's the typical socialist that insist they know how to spend other people's money better and only if you give them more of your money can they solve all problems. It's a typical socialist that refuses to understand that people's situations are a result of their choices in life.

To pour water over this little fire: you just reminded me of a joke I 've heard in Hungary (where they know a thing or two about real socialism).

 

 

A communist party leader asks a lower-ranked comrade:

< Tovarisch! What if you had two houses?

> Well, I'd give one to the party and use the other for myself

< Very good! And what if you had two cars?

> I'd donate one to the party!

< Well said! And what if you had two bikes?

> Wait wait.. I do have two bikes!

Solving the starving children problem by just giving them food is impossible. All it does it generate twice as many starving children in the future. We could steer the entire GDP of the world to this purpose and it would only make the problem worse, and more quickly.
