Thought people said space ships aren't lego??

Ugh. What a cunt.

Hey guess why they're happy to send a Red Dragon to Mars without waiting for NASA to pay for it

>>8374450
Whole architecture is Methane based, so ISRU prop production from earlier, smaller missions (Red Dragon carrying robots?)

>>8374438
This day has been planned for a full year, way before the explosion happened.

>>8374478
NASA is letting them use DSN free of charge though, and offering technical support worth $20 mil (6.7% of total cost) over the course of the mission

People linning up to see him talk at IAC

The sooner this gets started the sooner UFO disclosure arrives.

>>8374410
How much money went into making this CGI

>>8374488
No new money however, it's all labor they are volounteering part time, when they have time

NASA also said during a recent telecon that SpaceX wants to achieve more independence with each Red Dragon mission, eventually not needing any NASA assets, and this helps explain why

>>8374489
Who's the qt3.14

>>8374499
However much it is, it's nothing compared to the public support, attraction of talent, and investor interest they're going to get.

I think he should focus on making rockets that don't explode on the pad first.

I guess the money is running dry and he needs some more investor bait.

>>8374556
Do you really want to be in chat for this event?

>>8374410
I can't wait for the first Mars colonial transporter to blow up and kill hundreds of people.

>>8374556
Chat would literally be reddit tier autismal kids going on and on about KSP

As a white South African diaspora, I know it is in Musk's nature to flee the darkies. Yet, couldn't he start with a Torus habitat in a lagrange orbit, or the Moon?

It's gonna happen eventually.

The stream hasn't started yet because a shit ton of people are still in line waiting to get in and sit down.

>>8374564
You think they're going to send more than a ten person team on the first trip to Mars?

>Space music nominal

SHIT'S FINALLY STARTING GET HYPE

Their success rate is lower than average.

I will start praising him when he actually does something instead of promising and investor baiting.

93% success rate vs the industry average of 95%, and that's not counting the landing tests that failed.

>>8374581
>Comparing the success rate of new technology testing new ideas with old technology

Shit, I guess NASA and the USSR are both piles of shit compared to spacex - I mean, just look at their 1st stage landing rate compared to spacex's!

Are they still trying to get people inside? Why hasn't it started yet?

>>8374604
it blew up xDDDDDDD

>>8374581
>>8374589
Eh. Currently, SpaceX has trouble with helium and anything to do with helium(leaks delaying the first dozen flights, struts holding the COPVs, COPVs themselves). Thankfully, methane is autogeneous/self-pressurizing so there won't be any need for helium or helium tanks with the ITS.

Why the fuck are you linking to a reddit thread on here?

>>8374600

And a large part of what all that was was them figuring out exactly how to do it. It was capable, but they needed more data to stick it.

>>8374630
For Mars.

>>8374597
The problem, if I recall correctly was less the number of engines and more due to overly complex plumbing, shoddy workmanship and lack of testing.

>>8374627
Even if he only delivers half of what is promised in double the time it will stil be more then all the other competitors. I want more excentric billionares running space companies pls.

>>8374564
Really causes my neural cells to depolarize by opening gated channels in the membrane and passively diffusing potassium ions out of the cytoplasm down its concentration gradient leading to a sequence of action potentials to stimulate in accord with long term potentiation pathways developed through the release of seratonin at key moments of sensory input.

Fuck rockets, give us SSTOs.

>>8374616
From what I know of, they're pushing the boundaries of helium pressurization. They put the helium tanks(COPVs) inside the LOX tanks to allow for lower temperatures and thus higher densities while minimizing extra cooling hardware. Other rockets have dedicated cooling or separate areas of the rocket for helium tanks at lower pressures.

>>8374643
No, we need eccentric billionaires running other tech companies. We need someone pushing millions into real genetic engineering and cloning and biomechatronics.

>>8374635
It's an echo chamber shithole that gets you banned for no other reason than not sucking the dick of the perceived hero from that particular subreddit.

>>8374645
I don't think SSTOs are the way to go. You need to make too many compromises. The goal should be two stages both of which are fully reusable. Space-X is working on getting the first one down and it's only a matter of time till they go for reusable second stages.

>>8374690
I doubt Space-X would have the following it does if they had somebody who was decent at speaking do all the talking. Part of their brand is Musk's terrible public speaking skills.

He needs to engage in heavy resistance exercise. Even just a ten-minute bout once a week will do wonders.

>[nerves Venus jokes intensifies]

A lot of normies are going to see this on CNN or Fox News though. And their tax dollars will be needed to pay for at least some of it; so you've got to humour them a little.

>>8374700
If they did it like the other conferences no one of you guys would be awake by now

Is he doing it at gunpoint ?
He seems so nervous

this guy needs to stop spilling spaghetti

Musk is such an autist

These Venn diagrams.

>>8374709

You don't have to hear him live to hear his turbo-autist speaking. Literally every time he gives a speech or interview he's like this.

Exactly, fringe groups and outliers.
Men always had a bigger sense of adventure, exploration and the future of the species than women. And that's why there are going to be disproportionately more men than women on Mars.


I would be interested in going, but only if I'm still singe by then. Finding a gf is hard enough, finding one that wants to go to Mars would be even harder.

>>8374799
liked and saved

is Musk a stammerer?

Why use the same first stage twice in rapid succession?
Just prep two rockets in different launch pads and it will be faster and safer.

he's so nervous

kawaii

Why not just send two rockets up at once and have them both land? Surely they can afford that?

Instead of sending one up, back down, and back up again.

>Battlestar Galactica

90% of the cost of a launch is the booster.

is elon musk an infp who makes his dreams come true?

Found your problem.

This design is perfectly SANE and there's absolutely NO WAY anything could EVER go wrong with it.

They will TOTALLY not have to scale back.

>>8374884
That's a lot of donuts.

>>8374895
Fuck

Wow lucky you anon, It looks like your mom will be able to go after all!

>450 tons to mars

Aim high and fail your way to succes my friend

Can he possibly deliver on this? Do I jump onto the hype train?

>>8374901
There are some companies trying to do just that, Virgin Galactic being particularly famous.

If we had multiple Elon Musks competing with eachother in a healthy enviroment we would kick this second space race into overdrive

>>8374920
basement dweller venture capital to fund Neo-Venezia when?

Why isn't this getting me hyped?
Musk should've sent some rockets to Mars for testing prior to making public announcements.
And making interplanetary travel commercial before space travel is a fucking joke.

>>8374922
100, not 1000. And space flight has become pretty save, there are shitloads of rockets being launched and not a lot explode, especially not if you don't leave it to hacks like SpaceX. Oops.

>>8374920
let's do this

>>8374895
Build another ship to get back to earth

>that interior
holy shit that's some space odyssey shit there

>>8374936
Even if this turns out to be a failure, the sheer amount of data gathered from this will be immensely useful for any future attempts.

Crew compartment looks like a fucking apple store

>>8374944
>Space flight has become pretty save
>SpaceX lost two rockets in 16 months.

So safe.

enough with the bullshit, WHAT IS THE TIMELINE?

God bless him, but boy does he come off as a beta practicing PUA. Let out your inner nerd, Elon. It's practically pouring out anyway.

>Taking a payload 38% greater than the entire ISS to orbit
I can't even imagine the power of this thing.

Well I think they'd rather use scramjets for that, and the safety and regulations problems are there buddy.

>>8374940
>what is Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin

>>8374945
>appeal of mars is that its all land
>lets drown most of it in water

good idea

>really fun

Reminder that Musky still didn't even build the Falcon Heavy or ever sent someone to space yet.

>It'll be really fun.
> You'll have a great time
Is he selling us on a mars colony or a fucking cruise to the Bahamas?

Yeah I was talking about failures during fueling, where really nothing should go wrong anymore.

>>8374947
totally impractical though. It MUST be designed for emergencies like a sub, not like an Apple store. But this SciFi is what you need to sell the concept.

>>8374949

>>8374945
Moon, near-Earth object and Mars colonies first. Then this.

No details on life support.

DUDE MEMES LMAO

This is getting more and more awkward

>>8374895
Build orbital defense weapons to deny any unwelcome guests.

That funding list. Literally meme tier

>Profit
heh

>a tricket to mars is possible in your lifetime
>less than 6 numerics
interesting, the future is closer than I thought, even if its looking risky

This just in MUSK WANTS TO STEAL UNDERPANTS FOR FUNDING!

>>8374955
>payload 38% greater than the entire ISS to orbit

>Already begging for tax money.

>funding
>implying Elon "Welfare Queen" Musk won't just get taxpayer money

>>8374940
I'm hoping that Bezos becomes that Dark Horse competitor. He's equally enamored with creating a space civilization, and he low-key has literally six times the money that Elon has. Plus, he's smart like Elon, but a different flavor of smart: he's super cunning and cut-throat, instead of lovably autistic. I'm hoping that he announces the New Armstrong in the near future

>>8374974
Underpants!

>>8374969
Just put them in cryo sleep! I know Elon can invent that within 5 years with no working prototype as of right now, nor anyone ever having put anyone in cryo sleep!

Why the fuck would you make a base on Mars before one on the Moon?

If your main goal is to make an interplanetary species then the Moon is the clear option.

Steal dirty panties, sell to NEETs for profit and pay your way to Mars.

>>8374962
If your in the first group to Mars you'll be a legend. Much better than a trip to the Bahamas.

>>8374984
no it isnt you fuck

He is a hero of our time

ITS TIME FOR TIMELINES SENPAI

How long until Red Faction?

>first mission to mars

>100+ people dead
>no one tries it again for 200 years
the most likely outcome

>>8374976
If I can go in 30 years I might do it, any longer than that and I'm gonna need some serious longevity cybernetics to make it worth it.

>>8374957
Once you've demonstrated precision landing & launch hundreds of times people would accept that you could launch from LA and land at Shanghai/Tokyo/Seoul/Beijing/etc

Also someone needs to crop out mariachi musk so we can photoshop him places.

mars is now, boys. I can already feel my soul being freed from earth's pull.

>we barely scraped enough money for 2008's launch

Did he seriously say that the Mars flight would have zero-G games, movies, and restaurants

I want to go on the ComfyShip

>>8374984
If you have a ship that can cross the Atlantic, you also have a ship that can cross the English Channel. I imagine that ITS will be used for lunar flights in-between Mars launch windows.
