SPACEX SUCCESSFULLY JUST RE-USED A FIRST STAGE ROCKET AND LANDED IT SUCCESSFULLY.

THIS MARKS A NEW ERA OF SPACE FLIGHT THAT MAKES IT 95% LESS COSTLY.

first?

1st for australian moon base

Fuck off emu fucker.

nope

Elon Musk?

More like Elon JUST.

WILL MARS ONE USE SPACE X

USA BAYBEEE

This guy is a fucking fraud

Fuck Elon Musk

NASA Btfo?
Will SpaceX create Bogdangrad?

BUT HOW MUCH MONEY DID THEY SPEND REFURBISHING THE ROCKET BEFORE THEY COULD FLY IT AGAIN?

YES

Victory!

MEMEX is such a useless shit.
we could literally use the money and feed all the poor african children instead.
would be much better than this shitty MUH SPACE shit.

Less then building a new one.

>95% LESS COSTLY.

sauce?

meanwhile in africa:

...

Why

The fuck.

Would you want to feed Africans instead of colonizing space with Europeans.

VIDEO FEED OF "LANDING" WAS CUT! I DEMAND AN ANSWER TO THIS BULLSHIT!!!

fuel costs 200,000 dollars
rocket costs tens of millions

if they re-use the rockets it saves most money of space flight

This just ushered in a new era. Elon Musk and SpaceX just pushed space travel forward by decades

USA had almost nothing to do with it. The majority of scientists and engineers behind this rocket system was made by immigrant on H1-Bs

Stupid burgerlard

t. space niggers

You can't hide your grey asses much longer

This could also mean we can begin researching and development on VTOL spaceships or just planes in general, using rockets.

The rocket landing was clearly old footage! No live video at the exact moment of landing? Misleading! SCAM!

I often say the same thing about the German chemical industry. Just feed the Africans already!

They no longer have to buy a new rocket each time

Fake and Gay.

This British Empire wound still didn't heal, did it?

spacex is american citizen only

It's actually extremely white.

>tfw you will never have a city on mars named after you

Step 1: we get back to the moon
Step 2: we go to mars
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: Profit

Feggggggg und gehhhhhhhh

Are other countries even trying? Besides taking in refugees are they good at anything else?

Sure, but HOW MUCH less?

I'm just skeptical of the actual cost savings after the "reusable" space shuttle is all.

And if they can refurbish it for less than 450million each time it will be cheaper than the space shittle

REMINDER:

THERE IS NOTHING HISTORIC ABOUT TAIL LANDINGS OR REUSING THE FIRST STAGE OF A ROCKET.

THE SPACE SHUTTLE REFURBISHED ITS FIRST STAGE AS WELL.

THE ONLY THING HISTORIC IS IF THEY SAVED MONEY REFURBISHING OVER JUST BUYING A NEW ROCKET.

THEY HAVE NOT

THEY WILL NOT PUBLISH THAT DATA.

ELON MUSK IS A FRAUD.

>switch stream literally second b4 landing to couple of fuckfaces, thus implying fraud

They should get fired, whoever was in charge of that stream

>soon

>What is ITAR?

There is basically only one foreigner over at SpaceX and he's German.

What's gonna happen next?

...

science is epic for teh reddit win

We are better than you.

>there is a slight possibility that I can explore the stars
Space colonies when?

just make a few phone calls and it can happen

Damn that is one talented family.

Elon is a modern-day Henry Ford and his little brother is one of the sickest rappers in the wyrld.

they recovered the orbiter you retard

SpaceX is claiming an at most 30% cost reduction for their refurbished rockets.

If you want to trust your multimillion dollar payload to a used car.

Where is the video of the landing?

The shuttle is not the most expensive. The ROCKETS. ROCKETS ARE THE BRUNT OF THE COST.

Retard

how much live feed camera cost?

5%

first stage is ~$30 million, for this one they replaced

>the landing legs
>the grid fins
>some parts in the engines
>some cabling
>some charred paint

fuel is $300,000. this one was probably done in house for 10 million or less.

Way less than building a new one from zero.

you're fucking stupid son

Yes but that was the third stage. SpaceX can only ever recover the first stage.

Never. There is no economic activity in space that can produce profit. Space is too expensive to ply, and there is nothing in physics to circumvent that.

No niggers allowed

>shitting on a guy who builds his rockets and cars in the USA, buys American materials and haven't offshored any job
Wew lad. MAGA all the way.

I don't care about starving African children. I want to be a Grand Admiral in the American Spacy and fight ayy lmaos. I want to be just like Yang Wen-Li.

The white man is trying to figure out space trips. Meanwhile the black man has not yet learnt how to feed himself

>user gets tired of being autist on earth
>wants to be an autist in space

...

The Space Shuttle had to be virtually rebuilt from the ground up after each launch.

The SRBs had to be re-processed. There was simply an enormous amount of work that had to be undertaken to make a Space Shuttle fly again.

The Falcon 9 seems to require a LOT less work.

They took the first landed Falcon 9 and put it on a test stand and relit it.

I don't think the Space Shuttle would have even been capable of that.

1st Stage and Fairings.

2nd stage is not recoverable due to the design, but is recoverable if they made a different rocket.

1st stage is the most expensive by a wide margin anyway.

>tfw I'm helping US go to Mars.

Feels good man.

The cost of refurbishing the rocket is the historic thing. The Shuttle SRB's were reused countless times and they smacked into the ocean.

But they were very simple machines, as rocketry goes. The liquid-fueled F9 first stage is irreducibly complex and will not be cheap to refurbish.

The real question is how many females and minorities contributed to this success ?

fake and gay

you can't survive LEO.

>America is perfecting commercial space travel while Europe is taking Muslim Dick
Topkek

facebook trusted their multimillion dollar payload to a new spacex car and it still blew up lol

ITT Internet socialists decry the futility and vanity of Space X's achievements, and question their legitimacy, because it isn't owned by the government and won't lead to a state owned monopoly on space travel.

All that knowledge and you can't unfuck your nails

What excuses will they give when they hit the firmament?

Money sent to Africa is a complete and utter waste, whereas money spent on space travel will advance humanity down the path of destiny in the stars.

I know it.
You know it.
Everybody knows it.

And what happens when earth becomes uninhabitable? then a space colony would sound pretty fucking profitable to me

Give us numbers. Shuttle vs Falcon.

well Elon Musk is from south africa so technically Space X is owned by an african american

the rocket itself costs 60 million

Fuel 200-300k

The rocket has limited number of uses. Some sources say 55, other 15.

Such a fraud, look at that fraudlent thig called paypal, loom at those fraudulent teslas driving around and those fraudulent tunnels he is digging AND ALL THE FUCKING FRAUD SATELLITES HE HAS PUT. INTO ORBIYIT.

Its going to be great when this frauds infinite fraudlent money runs out and he stops doing all this great stuff...

I salute you good sir

CAPITALISM GETS US INTO SPACE

Remember this!

Why did they cut the footage right before the landing? Then 10 secs later the rocket is there as if by magic. Is the masked magician still around, he needs to show us how they pulled this one off.

>stage 2 is flying over a bunch of dumb niggers hitting each other with rocks atm

youre in the wrong thread because were here cheering the rise of elon musks ancap space empire

jsc?

>Retard spouts off on things he knows nothing about.

NASA pays spacex to launch payloads into space for them since it costs less.

hows that for goddamn numbers

>wasn't born in america
>came to america to exploit loopholes for renewable energy
>exploits any source of government money
>sells cars that create more pollution than the average car
>tells you it's good for the world

He's a con artist.

2nd stage is not recoverable due to the design, but is recoverable if they made a different rocket.

Not practically, the second stage goes halfway across the world. What, they're going to ship it back and still save money? Fat chance.

>1st stage is the most expensive by a wide margin anyway.
Unfortunately the extra mass from the landing fins, landing gear, and extra fuel to land reduce the payload significantly. 4 tons, i think, is the best it can manage.

We're never building anything in space at 4 tons per launch.

i really find this hard to believe. after all that stress and heat put on the rocket?

nice

soon

Why does SpaceX get some much awesome HD footage of space but NASA's footage look like the mission was run by RSBN?

Space travel???

It'll never catch on

KYS Steve Merkel

I dont have time to cut my nails. I post here while eating lunch.

Nope. JPL

So NASA reused the SRBs and shuttle, the other thing was just a fuel tank right? no rocket motors of its own.

I didn't realise, this actually isn't a first
