Nice one OP

Feels good man

because they can

Bump for failed landing coverup.

RUD CONFIRMED NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Looks like it landed fine. Just lost the feed.

Fuck yes. Anyone know when they're going to actually reuse some of the hardware?

Space Jelly?

>Russia
>Proton
Inb4 Polan can't into space.

Looks like a giant old time telephone

to make fun of you

because you cannot into space

It went kaboom buddy

They confirmed it on stream

Yeah just looked into it. Fuel tank looks like it might have split. Oh well. Still landed "successfully".

This pmuch, looks like a structural fail and not a landing fail.

The real money here is the point the payload got into space just fine, the landings are just "along for the ride" experiments. So far so good, even with accidents.

Looks like the rocket would have been fine if the asds was 1 meter wider

It fell off the edge!

Musk said in an interview that they have four recovered first stages by now (or was it five?). They're yet to actually re-launch any of them as far as I understand.

Scratch that, it hit too hard

"Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max."

Yeah, I just asked Sup Forums but then googled. Looks like they're testing one (?) of the recovered stages by lighting/burning it 10 times. If it performs through the tests it's rated to fly and they'll send it up.

Interested if they're confident enough to put a payload onboard or if they'll just send some random shit made by kids up.

They have a paying customer
In fact, multiple

Lined up to use the reused stages. For a big discount, of course

Wonder what the insurance companies are charging them.

will edgy libertarian spacex ever be able to survive without government? What about tesla?

Elon Musk is the biggest hack in the world. His only skill is making government give him free shit.

Ruski, I know this is weird but I had this sudden gut feeling that I needed to tell you: you're an awesome Ruskibro, thanks for being interested in space with us.

Martian base when?

Much less than the full launch price

Tesla payed back its loans ahead of time retard
The government got a good deal

Well, probably much MORE
since there is an increased risk of failure.

HOWEVER.

some believe that there is a decreased risk of failure, since it is a proven rocket


Go look up the 'bathtub curve'

>or if they'll just send some random shit made by kids up.

>use the reused stages. For a big discount, of course

hey, why dont we make a fundraiser and launch a billboard into space?
then we put messages like "gas the kikes", "build wall" or "remove kebab" depending where it is flying over

yews, its stupid, but what the hell

Why does he get a fancy government loan while other businesses have to ask the free market?

He still owes the government - the entire business would go up in smoke if not for their regulations.

thank you based user, never saw hq footage like this before

wasn't aware that the shit rides with 10.000+ km/h

>t. retarded cunt

He's a government contractor, like Boeing, Rocketdyne, General Dynamics, etc.

I like the way this nigger thinks.
