>SpaceX on Friday landed its third consecutive rocket on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean, during a mission that successfully launched a commercial communications satellite to orbit.

>“Falcon 9 has landed,” a member of SpaceX’s launch team confirmed about 10 minutes after a 230-foot Falcon 9 rocket's 5:39 p.m. blastoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

>About 20 minutes later, the rocket's upper stage deployed the Thaicom 8 satellite in orbit as planned.

Cool

fpbp good sir *tips fedora*

If SpaceX reuses those rockets they landed previously, elon musk will single handedly destroy Poo in the loos, Canadas, ULA space program

Who cares

...

Space is big.

leave EU faggot

Stay salty faggot

>It's 2016
>A white South African has built the world's first orbit-capable VTVL-reusable launch system

Meanwhile, niggers continue to be niggers

Loss
Loser
Scam
Scammer

Based.

Space X to Mars!

No shit skins allowed.

That's an insane feat of engineering

Your move, Africa

Fucking cheaters using MechJeb.

Is there any evidence that Elon Musk is a cuck? I want to know if he will put diversity quotas in space.

>SpaceX First Stage Landin(...).webm
>almost sliding off the barge
idk man, i can see some mandatory improvements....

AND THE ROCKETS RED GLARE...

Okay, fuck, that's impressive.

Yeah space great whatever but how much does this cost? What is this costing? What are we paying for this kind of thing? Just how much exactly does this cost?

All is going according to plan.

Far less than building every rocket from scratch.

Nah, the guy's basically for straight-meritocracy

HInt: How many non-white people are there in this picture?

Well considering SpaceX is a private company it doesn't cost you anything.

Kill yourself.

wasn't he just cucked by his exwife or something? she took half of this great man's money

as such, i think he is just pure futurism and doesn't give a fuck about diversity...

I can see about 5-10 black/mixed and a bunch that could be some other race

That's the milestone I'm waiting for. The landing is cool and all, but the point is to be able to reuse the rockets, which hasn't happened yet.

THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR...

Who cares
its just a shitty one time use space ship, at least they could fight to end hunger instead of blasting off into space

wow... really makes you think

I am now a #cruzmissle

...

He's south African, of course he hates niggers

GAVE PROOF

NASA should be defunded and shut down, the private industry has done in 3 years, what nasa could not do in 30.


Complete waste of taxpayer dollars.

Well, he's from SA, There's gonna' be a few non whites lingering about.

>fight world hunger
>implying niggers wouldnt find a way to exploit that too

lets just build our spaceships and get the fuck out of here, away from the sub-humans

Are they even reusing the rockets or is it just for a show?

THROUGH THE NIGHT

THAT OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE

>its just a shitty one time use space ship, at least they could fight to end hunger instead of blasting off into space

There will always be hungry niggers. And unless we advance in space those hungry niggers are going to grow ever more hungry on dwindling finite resources.

+1

+1

once they come back, they scrap them for parts for the next mission

m8, you could put warheads in there,drop them on africa, and return the rocket to load it with more warheads to send it again.
you're a moron if you can't see how this makes ethnic cleansing cheaper.

OH SAY DOES THAT STAR SPANGLED

BANNER YET WAAAAAAAAAAAVE

FOR THE LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND OF THE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nah, NASA should just shift roles. More deep space science for now.

Yeah, they should put warheads in the fucking rockets and carpet bomb africa.

ez

AND THE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOME

OF THE

BRAAAAAAAAAAAVE

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE

THROUGH THE NIGHT

he's pretty big on nationalism

PLAY BALL

This is now a freedom thread

PLAY BALL

Play ball

...

Soon.

>T. Mohammed Mohammad

The USA making history again, as usual.

OOOO SAY CAN YOU SEEEEEE

Great. Elon Musk is still a cuck.

reminder of just how huge it is, too

i.4cdn.org/wsg/1464189624235.webm

But what will the commie retards say when such gloriousness is made possible by industrialists and unregulated markets?

>"but that wasn't real capitalism"

>hurr hurr look at how much worse he looked before he was a billionaire.

holy shit that makes it like 10x more impressive

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

JOSE' CANOE SEA

Fucking hell.
WHY IS Sup Forums NOT INTENT ON THIS?!

Why did the rocket bend to the right slightly?

Because it's taken from a 360 degree camera.

youtube.com/watch?v=KDK5TF2BOhQ

Wouldnt that be more like a 315° camera if it was pointing right?

The wealthy.

Because if shit goes belly up they'll bomb the earth and flee to "heaven" temporarily.

>vacations to space will happen in your lifetime thanks to the free market

It's within the circle, so it should be fine.

It's hard to see the angle of the barge. The rocket could be compensating for waves and winds.

...

To think in december, SpaceX will try to land three of those rocket at once when they use the heavy Falcon rockets configuration to launch a US military satelite into deep orbit.
