That was amazing. Where do I sign up?

Even if it does, they landed it smooth compared to last time. Shit is neat.

 

[EviLore]

Yes!

SN10 I felt landed too, landed hard but still landed. A boom would sour the media coverage without a boom they have a better image to get their NASA Lunar funding back. It is on hold due to protests.

 

[CloudNull]

FUCKKKK I missed it. I was in a coding rabbit hole. I am so stoked they pulled it off with no issues.

Success! SpaceX lands Mars rocket prototype for the first time | CNN Business

SpaceX just launched another test flight of an early Mars rocket prototype at its South Texas facility, sending the towering silver vehicle soaring up to about six miles above Earth, then putting it through a series of aerial acrobatics before re-lighting two of its engines and landing it...

www.cnn.com

this is how CNN is reporting it, as the first landing.

I am sure SN16 rollout expected soon

 

[Pegasus Actual]

How dare Musk land this rocket during COVID. Keep strong my friends and remember to boycott SNL or whatever.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Self landing rockets. FUCK ME.

If you had shown this to anyone from the 1800's they'd think it was aliens. My God how far we have come.

Crazy success rate of Space X. Kudos. Respect. Awe.

This is such a huge moment IMO. Starship should force the space industry to reinvent itself. It's time to literally think big. Big vessels, big payloads, and big ideas like starting a colony on another satellite. We don't need to send people into space in small capsules that look like they were made with an Erector set. We can build machines that start to approximate the vehicles of science fiction media. We can move large numbers of people with lots of cargo, and proper working/living environments.

There's so much ground to cover yet, but I like to think that Starship is just the beginning. What will the coming decades hold for spaceship design, or even remote bases or stations? I won't be around to see the best and brightest, but I feel fortunate to be alive when it all starts.

Now, let's get this bitch orbital, and then get it to the moon.

Nothing inspires humanity like a new frontier to take part in exploring and developing. It's been a long few decades of incremental improvement, but I feel like we're beginning to ride a new wave into the future. Great time to be alive.

This plus the muon g-2 news has my head spinning.

We could be witnessing the birth of interstellar travel... and I don't feel like an idiot typing that. Shocking times.

I was really hoping we get more footage from the flight. Not that I'm complaining cause what has been provided was awesome.

Winds need to calm down so they can get SN15 back on the pad.

STARBASE is born

Sign looks great, I like the pure white on black and silver materials all over the base, not just the sign..its very old school space exploration mixed with a 60s space exploration aesthetic
