>FALCON HEAVY LAUNCH STREAMS: (Falcon Heavy launch streams will be going live around 15 minutes prior to launch, or around 1:15 PM EST / 6:00 PM GMT) >keep an eye on these channels:
more stream links will be posted ITT over the next hour.
>wtf is a "Falcon Heavy" ??? "SpaceX is test launching its Falcon Heavy rocket, the first ever launch of the new heavy-lift orbital rocket. The Heavy’s thrust is generated by its 27 Merlin engines, which is three times the number of engines you’d find in the current Falcon 9 rocket.
That amounts to over 5 million pounds of thrust, and a total cargo capacity of around 119,000 pounds. That gives it more than double the total freight moving power of its next closest competitor. In fact, the last active rocket with a greater payload capacity was NASA’s Saturn V rocket, which flew its last mission in 1973.
It won’t be carrying anything all that heavy this time around, however – the payload for this first test launch is a Tesla Roadster, loaded up with a dummy wearing SpaceX suit for its planned Dragon crew missions, and destined for a large, elliptical Mars orbit."
>卐 卐 卐 /mig/ 卐 卐 卐 Welcome to the Mars Independent General.
This thread is dedicated to the discussion of creating a European Colony on Mars mainly by "stealth" with the possibility of even making an eventual claim to independence once enough of us have settled. This is real. This is going to happen. We need you to consider the choice.
The first Mars Colony is predicted to be established as early as 7 years from now. Very quickly the colony is going to expand, and Elon Musk has made it clear that commercial emigration will come in to play only a few years later. This means the first large influx of settlers over the next 50 years are going to be families who sell their properties on Earth for the ticket. Only people who can afford to move there will be able to. lets face it - a majority european colony on mars is the only way to truly secure the 14 words.
>Plan: /mig/ is a new general and a work in progress. feel free to contribute ideas. in short, once the colonisation effort goes commercial, we need to move there.
卐 卐 卐 /mig/ 卐 卐 卐 The general will be posted a few times a week or a few times a day. one of the main goals of this general is to simply re-inspire our fellow Nationalists, Fascists & Racialists on the subject of space exploration & colonisation. We hope to promote a new positive attitude towards life on Mars amongst those who value the future of the European peoples.

Hyped for FH tho

Why independent then? I'm all about Imperial American Mars colonies.
Luke Young
musk has said he will ban all guns on mars so i guess it will be a british colony?

Jeremiah Stewart
If Cultural Marxism (and other concepts that threaten our people) gets a strong grip on the colony then we would have no choice but to push for independence. thanks for posting
Grayson Moore
Wait, I've seen this movie... The car will fall through a wormhole and land on a planet ruled by sentient machines who take pity on the primitive artificial lifeform and grant it sentience, building a ship around it so it can return home.
In 300 years a highly evolved Tesla Roadster will arrive in earth orbit and threaten to destroy us unless we give up cyborg-Elon Musk so it can merge with him to have robot sex and transcend reality
Same London to, to arrange a meet. Your interests are the same as mine.
Carter Edwards
That'd be the bad outcome wouldn't it? Being in a position to form an interplanetary empire will hopefully mean Marxism's already defeated.
Sebastian Martinez
Lol, I'm not arranging a meet over Sup Forums my friend. Feel free to chat to me in the general though.
Bentley Sanders

Anthony Parker
Where’s the general, you mean this one.
Adrian Walker
Sorry, yeah, this is the general. I post it a few times a week, sometimes twice a day. :)
Anthony Moore
You at uni? I’m at UCL
Matthew Rodriguez
Good general though.
David Bennett
Did they just delay it another two hours?
Angel Torres
haha m8 you're probably 10x smarter than me in every way. I've never been very academic. I'm not at UNI.
Nathaniel Sullivan
I just had a quick look, I don't think so ?
>T-0 delayed to 2:20 p.m. EST, 19:20 UTC due to upper level wind shear. Continuing to monitor winds and will update as info becomes available.
that's from an hour ago.
Austin Jenkins
Its not going to launch today bros. High level winds are above limit.
Aiden Allen
>Continuing monitoring upper level wind shear. New T-0 is 3:05 p.m. EST, 20:05 UTC.
from 1 minute ago.
Gabriel Williams
>honeycomb grid
Sounds like a pain in the ass to drive through that.
Jason Young
(You) for imaginative post
Leo Robinson
REMINDER: We would have had a moon base and Mars base decades ago except the average American is a dumbass so we got bored with men on the fucking moon.
Please don't spam the thread with a pointless discussion over whether or not you think we have or haven't been to the moon. Thanks
Nathan Turner
Luddites and /x/ get the rope too.
Thomas Williams
s-sorry
Luke Allen
It's a God-awful small affair... To the girl with the mousy hair...

stop LARPing
Luke Taylor
Did they delay it again? Elon, I am disappoint.
Jack Flores

Adrian Nelson
Not surprising at all, he has sent nonsensical things like giant wheels of cheese into space, and now his own car. Next up: Count Dankula (without a space suit)
Dylan Russell
>Continue to monitor the upper level wind shear. New T-0 is 3:45 p.m. EST, 20:45 UTC.
2 minutes ago.
Jace Foster
Good one, Sir!
Isaac Gomez
It would be fucking amazing if all 3 rockets came back in one piece. Hoping for the best. ETA 45 minutes right?
Jace Barnes
now is 2:00 UTC, so no
Nicholas Morgan
EST, I meant
Wyatt Parker
yц
Matthew Richardson
And remember. No niggers and jews on Mars.
Gavin Edwards
They will send car and this song will be played there on repeat:
Was hoping this launch was on a weekend so i could drive down to the coast :(
Joshua Wright
Impressive how he can piss so much money away on useless wank like space travel and electric cars and still not go broke.
Michael Young
can't wait till musk builds the new facility down in texas
Logan Phillips
Do you think he launches customer's satellites for free?
Isaiah Richardson
Is that going to be for only building BFR or for launching too?
Brody Wilson
there have been talks about a launch site, so i'm hoping it's that so i can go see launches in person
Angel Gomez
Fairly sure he doesn't profit from those companies
Hunter Powell
>Its purpose is "to provide SpaceX an exclusive launch site that would allow the company to accommodate its launch manifest and meet tight launch windows." I guess it's for launching too.
John Powell
sweet
Jordan Myers
He will if he hasn't already. The fact hes getting government contracts already would lead me to believe hes turning a profit.
Tyler Thompson
Reminder that it was Sheldon Cooper who was responsible for SpaceX's technology
Parker Reyes
>Of Course I Still Love You
Nathaniel Reed
I think the facility in texas is for manufacturing everything needed for Tesla.... the Gigafactory ?
>Just realized I'll be in shitty commie theater class when this damn thing launches. Fuck.
Sebastian King
skip it. Nobody gives a shit about that anyways and universities usually don't have mandatory attendance anymore anyways except for security relevant shit in stem fields.
Owen Allen
if you keep quiet you can have hovel next door to glorious leader
Evan Lee
t. elon musk
Jacob Thomas
I have an exam today and it's mandatory attendance for some off the wall fucking reason. Liberal art classes are the worst sorts of classes I swear.
Isaac Cox
Verse:
He's a Redditor with money and drive His wife left him to fuck younger guys He spent his millions on hair implants Now he's worshipped by sycophants
Google image search embarrassed him fast Top result "how did his hair grow back?" Now he's built himself a new fancy car And he's planning on driving to Mars
Chorus:

Paypal taaaannnnnked Tesla never stood a chaaance SpaceX is doooooomed The faggot thinks hes going to the moon Now thats what you call a hyperloooooop

Do you trust this man muussskkkkk Spending your tax money on comics and stuff Do you believe his far out lies His rockets explode and lights up the skies
