no. its obvious that starhopper was attached to a string and being lifted by a big crane. space isnt real and neither are rockets

Only if somebody else pays for it.

>>10924159
Don't worry we're getting the Am*ricans to pay their tax money on this shit can you believe it.

thanks for the compliment

In same timeline where they send passengers around Moon in 2018

Second moon landing: 2050
First mars landing: 2200
First mars scientific outpost: 2350
Human Extinction Event: 2423

>>10923835
Nope

>>10923835
there is no technical showstopper, so probably

>>10924159
We're going to invade Mars,
And we'll get the Martians to pay for it

The visuals are one thing, but the sound man, THE SOUND, is the most amazing thing.

I wish I was american
It's not fair, you guys get all the cool stuffs ;_;

>>10925201
it sucks bro. my cunt has 0 rocket companies, 1 that makes cube sats, and 1 startup making a launch site for foreign rockets that won't be ready for many years. And I can't get work in the US because because they only hire americans

>>10926004
who'd a thought the newfies would become a spacefaring race, eh? at least you'll always have the CanadArm.

>>10924781
>Second moon landing
ACKSHUALLY it would be the fifth or sixth. i don't recall how many apollo missions landed on the moon after apollo 11

>>10924446
you realize they delayed the moon plan so they could launch it on their mars rocket instead, right

>>10926296
>i don't recall how many apollo missions landed on the moon after apollo 11
Five, there were six total

>>10926417
thanks f a m.

>>10926327
dragon cant go beyond leo and FH isnt man rated so no they delayed it because it wasnt happening anyway.

I think they want to send something by 2022, some autistic payload like the car, or maybe a nuke to demonstrate they can, either that or land on the moon
They want a lot of gibs, any gibs from anyone to make any space dream possible. Which means they want to dab on every other company so contracts only they can fufill end up being put up

>>10928587
>or maybe a nuke to demonstrate they can
That would get SpaceX nationalized so damn fast. Elon wouldn't even have time to tweet a meme about it.

>>10928598
I meant a nuclear generator. The actual small form self cooling ones actually exist. So to drop base infastructure, or maybe a bot that can build a landing pad etc.

>>10928604
There's no way they could get the paperwork done to get it approved because even the USAF is uncomfortable sending fissile materials into space. So if SpaceX just yeets a reactor into orbit without getting it approved by the US government, then that would scare the US into taking over the company.

>>10928610
why not send it without the fissile material then just to dab

>>10923835
Is that picture real? Why doens't it have a tip?

>>10928628
>Is that picture real?
Yes.

>Why doens't it have a tip?
The nosecone fell off by a strong wind before it was fully attached. Since the nosecone was just decorative and not required for the operations the rocket was expected to perform, it was left off.

>>10928636
Why would they make a decorative tip?

>>10928642
To make it look good I guess, for PR.

>>10928642
Pointy side up.

>>10928581

Dragon can and man rating is a complete non thing that doesn't matter. Starship is a superior product line to develop than investments into the last gen product line.

>>10928581
Dragon can be upgraded for beyond LEO and it can be done by launching crew on Falcon 9, transfer stage on Falcon Heavy, docking in orbit and then burning for the Moon.

>>10923835
No.
We can't even land on the moon, we can only fake it.
Mars is only a pipe dream.

All that tech and the prediluvian babylonians couldnt survive a flood.

>>10929856
It was not a flood of water, it was a flood of subspace anti-higgs particles that affected the whole multi-hyperverse at the same time(s).
