Compare how much money each company spent before the first/second/etc flight. The ENTIRE program has so far cost less than one set of SLS engines - that they took from older rockets without changes. They have explicitly…
Nope
If you have a dual SIM phone, try to swap your SIMs.
Almost a complete failure except for second ever caught first stage... BTW they first tested a redesigned version of Starship today.
Take a look into a pilot handbook, they are all written down there.
Yeah lol, who cares about this?
I don't know how to put this if you don't see the difference yourself by now, but that's not an orbital rocket that could lift anything from Earth nor land back there. One huge problem is hypersonic aerodynamics,…
Wouldn't really consider that NewSpace. These are as old as space industry gets...
Apollo 11 had a three stage rocket and every stage was discarded. SpaceX is obviously not the first company to land something - but landing a rocket booster that just performed an orbital lift is the interesting and…

I told you what didn't happen - the situation wasn't as clear as you say. Everybody in the space industry was absolutely sure he is totally crazy and it's impossible to do with an entire first/second stage rocket…
I'm trying to say that it doesn't cancel but that doesn't mean I won't listen.
Where does he lie about a video game? Maybe he has someone boost his level. Did he say it's not true? Just doing that can have many reasons - maybe he likes a shiny number there, wants a bigger challenge, more fun…
Well I heard it myself from practically anybody up until 2015. I even attended quite a lot of conference talks on this topic... I'm sure it's not hard to find it online, famously a NASA director (I think?) did so.
Sorry but no, this is absolutely not what happened. I am watching it closely ever since SpaceX was founded in 2002. There is an incredible gap between the tech demo you're speaking about, and actually landing a heavy…
I called him crazy myself (and I do think it's true), to illustrate that I am aware of his antics and it's not a reason to stop listening.
Sure, I'm not saying Musk is the only person who has interesting things to say about it. You're absolutely correct about these other people and I listen to them too. But you're not giving Musk enough credit. All…
What other person started a rocket company from scratch and got them landing? Of course I want to hear everything he says. Yes, he's crazy - seems to be a requirement if you want to do such stuff. Doesn't mean I will…
Who cares? It's what the indicator says, I don't need to visualize feet to do calculations and talk to the tower about them. If you can see a 1x1m tile from the cockpit, you're dead.
No, it doesn't. I'm European, never used imperial before I became a pilot, and it's easier. Check it out, the formulas are much simpler to do in your head. Intuition doesn't matter, all that matters is that I can do the…
No glider I have ever stepped in used metres. It doesn't make any sense, the tower wants to hear feet and knots and will communicate using that.
Can confirm, all aviation worldwide deals in feet and knots. It's also because it's much easier to do calculations on the fly (literally) - in your head. Metric is precise and logical but harder to use in stressful…
Ndr42 said it better than I could.
My sister that's studying medicine says that her books would be totally ruined in half a year if she used them like she uses the virtual ones.
They probably sell SaaS, don't they? What about industrial machinery, make up, whatever else?
