Wow

[Mikey]

Just fucking wow.



Launch at about 1:45.

Then skip to about 9:15.
Unreal.

Not sure what happened to the center core though. Supposed to have landed on an off-shore barge or something.

[Rooster]

The dual landing of the boosters looked like that Nork video footage of Kim Jung Un’s multiple ICBM launches in reverse. And while Elon Musk can spend his money in any manner he wants, it seems rather... extravagent to launch a sports car into space. Pretty cool day for space travel though.

Maybe extravagant but not really so much.

It was a test launch and they would normally put a dummy payload on top of the piccolo pete, like a big rock or something. In this case Elon wanted some PR so he put a $200,000 roadster (used) on top instead. Expensive wheels but in the overall cost of this launch pretty much chump change, and probably worth a lot more in the aforementioned PR.

If they had a reasonable expectation for success, wouldn't it have made sense to put an actual satellite up, rather than another piece of orbital debris?

No.

Musk must be a fan of the movie Heavy Metal.

[Softball Bat]

after it got up into space

No rocket was shown going to space.






I am disappoint.

[Left Seater]

Why would it have mattered? You wouldn’t believe it and would have had 7 excuses.

Huh. I did not know that. Thanks for making me just a wee bit smarter this morning, Mikey! Do you suppose for purposes of weight, throw, and mass, that the car was a shell, empty of its’ engine and drivetrain or that this was probably a complete automobile?

[Goober McTuber]

And how are they going to charge the batteries in the car?

Hard to say, but the payload for the Falcon Heavy is supposed to be 141,000 lb. I don't know if they tested it with a full payload (presumably could google that) but if that's the case then they probably still needed a few cinder blocks to fill it out.

No.

I disagree.

Yeah, I understand that satellites are more valuable than used Tesla convertibles, but the simple act of putting anything in orbit is as well. They could have lifted something reasonably cheap like space station vittles which wouldn’t have been a great financial loss if it went boom in the pad.

There are people who actually believe this bullshit?

Pardon me for being insensitive, but...


Are you retarded??


There are SO many reasons why this Space Sex dealie is utter nonsense.
It's fantasy for the mind of a child.


2:45, the earth glitches.
And simultaneously the shadow on the driver's neck glitches.

Nothing else glitches.

Why?

[Softball Bat]

ha!


Well...

I'm not talking about the shape of the earth (or MS's body).

I am commenting on Space Sex nonsense.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Why are you obsessed with the exosphere? That's just creepy.

[LTS TRN 2]

Says the total fraud who has watched the video of WTC 7 dropping in perfect controlled demolition and yet refuses to believe the basic physics right before his eyes? The same toxic punk who pretends to be a "pilot" and insists the pentagon just swallowed a 757? The same tedious impostor who still desperately supports the Trump/Pence malignancy?

[Softball Bat]

I'm sorry, but if you believe this absurdity, there is really something majorly wrong with you.
