The rocket being used is the CRS-8, you can watch it landing here

The reason this saves so much money is that the fuel is relatively cheap per launch. The most expensive part is the rocket. If they can just refuel the rocket each launch it drops costs down tremendously.
The rocket is a falcon 9 full thrust, and the first stage is the recycled portion from a previous mission.
The mission itself is to launch the SES10 communications satellite.
This is a historical moment for space travel.
Well if it doesnt work well get to see a huge explosion live, ill watch. Bump.
What's the mission?
Provided this goes of whithout a hitch, what will the next big space goal for elon be, orbiting station, asteroid redirect/minning or landing on the moon or mars?
SES-10, communication satellite going to a geostationary orbit
Am i the only one getting sleepy around here? I think i'm going to lay down a bit.
Just started, wondering how many people are sleepy so far
I'm getting super sleepy
I might just take a nap...
Something about this thread just makes me want to shut my eyes and rest.
Guys sorry to say, I checked the whole thing and it's nothing. We should all get some sleep, don't stay up too late posting on Sup Forums. Let's all get some rest.
Yawnnn. It's been a long day. Guys I think it's time to get some rest. We should all get some shut eye. Seriously it's bed time.
Too much to read in these images when you're so sleepy.
Literally nothing. Thanks for wasting my time OP, I'm going to sleep now.
Falcon Heavy flight to the moon, then Commercial Crew to ISS.
What are the chances it blows up?
I hope it doesn't but I guess it'd be cool to see
Reminder that the greatest achievements of space exploration and commerce, past, present, and future, are and will be launched from the greatest bordered piece of land in the entire universe.

>scientific achievements
>he believes that space exists
what are you fucking 12?
That penis shaped landmass sent us to the moon
Whats with the sleepyposting this week?
When is the launch? Stream is showing just a logo.
dream on, mars man
be lucky your hellswamp is the closest land to the equator in the US
Try finding a spic at NASA. If you walked in there at any point up until about 1980 and yelled "Heil Hitler", half the people there would turn and salute.
digits are the number of deaths when this hunk of shit crashes into the spectators.
there is no way they checked every single component of the rocket since the last launch.
Dream on, con man.
Liftoff 6:30 so they should start the mission breakdown in like 15 min
This beat's getting me hype
It's the new hot meme
Never mind the superior weather for launching and the beautiful ocean for recovery, of course?
In about 25 minutes. Coverage will start soon.
Dream on, Mars man.
Kys
you first, sheep
obligatory pasta
His engines are ready, clamps weak, fuel is heavy
There's icing on his panels already, Elon's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to lift off
But he keeps on forgetting, when he'll touch down
The launch pad goes so loud
He opens his valves, but the thrust won't come out
He's choking how, ULA's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality. Oh, there pulls gravity
Oh, there goes Falcon, he choked
He's so bad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't orbit, he knows his whole back's to these loads
It don't matter, he'll cope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so sad that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile pad, that's when it's
Back to the VAB again
DREAM ON, MARS MAN
back when you were a white country
he's talking about the future. Nasa will probably be privatized and become a poo in loo stronghold
Is he the great liberator of humanity?
Will we finally be free from the shackles that bind humans to one part of the universe?
To get all of the above in a limited amount of time
I can do this and it's done
Like that we're on our way
No the Jews will go to space instead of the Whites and the whites will be stuck on this planet to be consumed by the muds.
Coverage started, T- 18 minutes
DREAM ON, MARS MAN
which Jews? Askenazis are on the brink of extinction and Israels 2 largest groups are Slav hybrids and low IQ Arab Jews

Hell yeah, fucking bumbed
I dont see how that's possible when the earth is flat, and nothing has been ~150,000ft above earth.
>LOX still being loaded
explosion inbound
Bump

this is pretty cool. i wish was smart enough to have studied rocket science and engineering in college
That's normal. It's cryogenic so you have to keep topping it off as it boils away.
Wait they are doing this to help Brazilians to communicate?
SHUT IT DOWN NOW!!
Oh god I hope it doesn't blow up this time. I still have flashbacks from the CRS-7 stream
...
>this """"""""""redpilled"""""""""" board still drinks the space kool-aid
and he went to the moon in 1969 too, right?
Subliminal social conditoning, trying to get oldfags to retire from Sup Forums.
can I get a basic gestalt on space travel?
I'll join you, guys.
Coconaut or Barbienaut?
>not watching both
it's like you hate space or something
>mfw america has private companies sending rockets into space while mudslimes run around in the desert worshipping some imaginary being and cutting off people's heads
when will they learn
coconaut
the black one is cuter
>Subliminal
its over the top shilling/ironic shitposting
kek bless this launch
>tfw
I hope it doesn't.
I think of it this way.
If they can land the reusable rocket, they probably know enough to make it not explode doing it again.
T minus 7 minutes. It's going to blow like your mom.
>Nasa
thanks for the bluepill lad
charge your battery
>mfw ses is going into space
>SPACE X IS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE HISTORY TODAY. THEY WILL TRY TO LAUNCH THE FIRST RECYCLED ROCKET.
Does that mean they will reuse the one they sucsessfully started and landed a few weeks ago?
hosted = normie retards
technical = 180 IQ aryans
>cool to see
Agreed. I can see launches from my front yard. Never seen one explode yet
Can someone tell me why this is historic?
the booster from the CRS-8 mission
>intelligent meaty black woman
help
Time to fire up kerbal
yes
>rocket go up
>rocket go back down
>rocket land
>rocket go back up again
neva bin dun befo
Look closely nigger it's charging right now
Mother fucker its the first time ever a rocket has launched a payload, landed under power, and relaunch again
it last launched about 355 days ago
KEK, BLESS THIS MISSION. SHOW US YOUR FACE IN THE TRAIL OF THE ROCKET AND BRING IT HOME SAFE.
They can reuse the rocket.
Excuse the shitty crop. I forgot to change the setting to rectangle.
Coconaut is probably willing to eat ass, so Coconaut.
I hate Commies for the get.
so the rocket has already gone up? when?
*PSSSH*
I hope it works this time.
4 MINUTES TO LAUNCH
Godspeed
A year ago.
Last year iirc.
