/sci/ - Science & Math

bump

I have a question for OP. Why don't you go back?

haha, i recognize OP image

isn't that a photoshopped version of that one episode in rick and morty where rick turns himself into a cucumber?

man i loved that episode :D

>mfw Elon Musk is a marketing meme

>>9233243
Please be sarcastic. Rick and morty is the worst thing to happen to popular opinion of science since the big bang theory BAZINGA crap

I'll post the answers so you don't have to sift through leddit nonsense

#1

>>9233274
further explanation

>>9233274
I appreciate this public service.

>>9233278
np

>>9233273
ok I'll be sarcastic:
rick and morty is such a good show

>>9233295
kek
thanks for sharing Elon we know you're an alright kinda guy

>>9233295
Elon's response
>>>9233303
Elon's assistant's response

Bumping to let OP know that we care

>>9233345
why is it bizarre at all?

>>9233338
he spends 80

>>9233338
damn auto-post

he spends 80% of his time with the engineering team. Don't be so cynical

>>9233273
>Rick and Morty
>science
I like the show, but really, what science?

Ask him what he thinks about Rick and Morty. I don't have a Reddit account.

>>9233370
he watches the show with his kids.

This AMA is for BFR questions

>>9233357
He saw the "to be fair..." copypasta once and assumed it was sincere.

weird≠penis shaped? hmmm

Someone should ask if they're thinking about making miniature dildo BFR.

9/10 AMA so far. Lots of new information

Thank you for screen caps.

>>9233303
>22 light minutes
what's that in regular minutes?

>>9233273
You fall for the copypasta?

>>9233453
a couple hours

>Musk's reddit account is 5 years old

>>9233441
>>9233436
You're not that funny elon

>>9233453
a light minute is a unit of distance
22 * 60 seconds * 300,000,000 m/s = 396000000000 meters

>>9233465
autism

>>9233467

>>9233467
is this real?

>>9233466
it's like 10th grade math dude

>>9233471
as in footage of rockets

>>9233472
yeah, but taking a joke like that seriously is 201 autism

>>9233476
ok but you're on a science and math board what I'm trying to do is help someone understand what a light minute so that hopefully they can be a better person

>>9233473
>as in footage of rockets

>>9233480
there is already some of SpaceX stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmJgW-yMAIg

>>9233483
I was thinking something more along the lines of rule 34

>>9233479
dude, you're on a science board, everyone knows what a light minute is

>>9233486
apparently not

>>9233473
that didn't answer the question at all

>>9233490
apparently yes. it was a joke

>>9233491
there are 9600 comments in the thread. he's giving a mixture of joke answers and in depth answers. I don't mind

ooooh this is interesting

>>9233494
alright dude you were just "joking" about being stupid you're probably actually busy calculating renormalization groups

>>9233499
I didn't even send the post senpai. I just don't have autism

>>9233502
>>9233499
YOU ALL HAVE AUTISM SO SHUT UP

>>9233502
haha "how do I do calculus jk I'm like so smart really it's a joke"

>>9233505
"no"
>>9233506
I never claimed to be smart, but that was clearly not serious. get over it, you made a fool of yourself but it's not the end of the world

>>9233509
I don't think you would know how to calculate a light minute I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be embarrassed

>>9233514
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

>>9233514
as you said, it's not hard to calculate, just know the distance of a light second and multiply by 60. And even if I couldn't, how is it relevant to the discussion? the point is that that anon obviously knew what a light minute is, but you took it seriously when you shouldn't.

Why are Elon Musk's responses are so fucking stupid?

>>9233517
you didn't even know it's a unit of distance dude give up already

>>9233519
literally every person on this site knows it. probably 99% of people and 99.999% of people on science oriented websites are aware of this. it's incredibly basic knowledge

autism should be a crime

>>9233522
but you didn't

>>9233518

Because most of these questions are fucking stupid.

>>9233526
why does it matter? I didn't even make that post

>>9233531
because you're compensating and it's annoying

>>9233536
I'm compensating but you felt the need to tell someone what a light minute is on a website for adults

>>9233538
he asked

>>9233541
he joked

>>9233543
you're still compensating

aaaaaannnndd that's a wrap. AMA is over

>>9233555
You posted all the answers? what a shit ama

>>9233530
I like this kind of thinking, but it was roundly debunked by the whole Szechuan sauce fiasco.

>>9233613
All those people were 4chan memesters ironically rioting. Especially and including the red shirt naruto run autist.

>>9233613
What do you mean? How many people do you think went to McDonald's and acted like idiots, as compared to the number of people who watch Rick & Morty?

Furthermore, why do you think they went to McDonald's and acted like idiots? Because they were genuinely obsessed with R&M and this is their natural behavior, or because they thought they could get on youtube by putting on a show pretending to be maddened R&M fans?

>>9233620
Was redshit even in a McDonald's? If he was, it was certainly after all the irl shitposting since hardly anyone was there. Either way, he was 4chan embodied.

The crowds themselves were Facebook-tier, so while there may have been a core of ironic memesters, a huge chunk of it was herd mentality. I noped out of there when I found out what the line was for. Got my nuggs from Wendy's that day.

>>9233613
>
szechuan sauce has nothing to do with the intelligence meme, no doubt there are obnoxious rick and morty fans

>>9233633
>The crowds themselves were Facebook-tier, so while there may have been a core of ironic memesters, a huge chunk of it was herd mentality.
McDonald's announced "very limited quantities" of a cheap item that was hyped through the roof by a popular TV show. That's the kind of thing that creates crowds.

I guarantee you that most of them just wanted to try the sauce. Not because they're playing out some obsessive fan dream, but because it sounded like it would taste good, and this might be the only chance in their lives to try it.

>>9233633
>Was redshit even in a McDonald's?
It's clearly in a Mcdonalds, you can see the McBranding on all the signs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-GxDqtP4Vc

But yeah, I guess you're right. He probably even asked permission to do that since everyone is business as usual as he's freaking out.

>>9233303
>crc check
He's clearly not the best at computers... Using just crc to send and having a failed packet would mean a 44min delay on getting the data after Mars asks for thr failed packets Nd earth sends them again.

You want to use error correcting codes like reed Solomon or cyclic codes, that way you can attempt to recover the data before you have to request it again.

>>9233613
Nope. If anything, it shows how popular the show as gotten. It seems to be surpassing recent Simpson's episodes, even though it's on a cable block with 5x smaller viewership.

>>9233695
Simpson's sauce when.

>>9233695
>It seems to be surpassing recent Simpson's episodes
Does anyone actually watch Zombie Simpsons?

>>9233710
Here you go. This dick should be saucy enough for you.

>>9233273
>hurr durr the big bang theory is a bad show, i'm such a contrarian edgelord *sits alone in highschool cafeteria
no wonder no one wants to be friends with you

>>9233809
it's true though, please return to reddit

>>9233303
>CRC check
Musk confirmed basic as fuck

>>9233695
Nobody watches cable anymore

Lame, not any questions answered on nuclear power or propulsion

why wont elon talk here
we're cooler

why don't you faggots fuck off and off yourselves already? go back to your site for idiots

>>9234102
just jealous cos you dont get karma

>>9233498

great to hear spacex is seriously working on surface systems already

>>9233274
LOOK HOW SMART I AM ELON
how insufferable

>>9233179
some one ask him about his hair protocol

>Worth noting that BFS is capable of reaching orbit by itself with low payload, but having the BF Booster increases payload by more than an order of magnitude.
what the fuck? it will be the first SSTO too? that alone would be a game changer since it's been a distant dream of spaceflight since forever

>>9233338
Chad/virgin response.

>>9233546
No I'm not, it was you who fucked up, admit it

>>9234241
calm down, it's not a big a deal as you think. The Falcon 9 is also a SSTO; Elon says if they lobbed a first stage up without a 2nd stage or payload or interstage it could also make it to orbit. Still, pretty cool. Don't think they would have a use for flights of the BFR like that

>>9233273
good troll

hey grill

can somebody ask him if he's suicidal

>>9234241
no?
The only purpose of that will be its test flights

SSTO sucks balls, you make it 2 stage to quadruple your payload

>>9236254
I have hair and money.

Why would end life before it has truly begun?

tldr

>>9233357
They did have a 4 dimensional testicle monster, guardian of spacetime once

>>9234226
>asking questions with technical details makes you an insufferable poser
found the threads idiot

>>9233464
ABSOLUTE MADMAN!

>>9234241
rocket engines have been efficient enough to SSTO since maybe the 80s but the payload would be too tiny to bother.

>>9234287
Kek

>>9234287
This

wew and now they have a Mystery payload

>>9237514
yeah it's really spooky
we know:
-not a government mission
-light enough that they have the permit to land the 1st stage at LZ1
-no specific launch window; they have nov 10 - April 10 to launch it
-sources say that it's the sort of situation where there are stockholders to appease; if this one goes well, it could be the beginning of a new source of launch contracts for SpaceX
-it's not the SpaceX StarLink test
-The company behind it really paid up to be shoved in front of other customers on the manifest
-ZUMA is not an acronym

possibly lunar Xprize launch? who knows

>>9237531
>sources say
Oh come on...

>>9237549
ooooh new developments as of an hour ago:

"(UPDATE: NASASpaceflight.com has confirmed that Northrop Grumman is the payload provider for Zuma through a commercial launch contract with SpaceX for a LEO satellite with a mission type labeled as “government” and a needed launch date range of 1-30 November 2017.)"

https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2017/10/spacex-zuma-iridium-4-aims-vandenberg-landing/

>no one trolled the AMA the way /tv/ did with Tom Hardy
disappointing

>>9237561
Kinda disapointed now i was hoping for some Asteroid Mining or xprize Thing. And they Never reveal whats in the government launches...

>>9237634
spying on other countries for economic reasons is pretty cool too: http://www.thespacereview.com/article/3095/1

Lengthy but well worth your time to read. I bet ZUMA is similar in nature

>>9237634
asteroid mining is a stupid fucking meme
There is only one "asteroid" worth mining, its called the moon
Even then none of that makes sense until you have cheap reusable launch vehicles, along with a large amount of welders/machinery in orbit to do something with resources mined on the moon

>>9237747
>not mining asteroids to make O'Connell cylinders
>not mining asteroids to get resources from near non existant gravity wells

>>9237752
once you solve the reusable launch problems then "gravity wells" don't matter, also rail guns on luna would be ample for 3+ km/s initial velocity, to get them up to orbit

>>9237761
well if you already have the smelting and manufacturing facilities in space
it doesn't take much more delta-V to get to the asteroid belt and back than say a trip to the moon or mars anyways

>>9236414
It does though
Only done to signal your intelligence by writing technical nonsense

>>9233243
I remember that episode!

yeah I think it was a cucumber, that show is so weird, luv it tho!

>>9237786
Does take more time.

How has not a single one of this faggot's employees broken his jaw? Then again the same could be said for people like Steve Jobs.

>>9237786
It does though, and it takes years to travel there
No atmosphere to aerobrake at the asteroid belt, meaning vastly increased Delta-V requirements

>>9233555
holy shit, that thing is huge

bump

>>9239388
Its the Old Version

Based Musk.

> I am in tears

>>9233809
What the actual fuck? BBB is an awful show. You're not even contraction by saying that. Only normies like that show.

>>9240863

But we are normies

>>9240873
/sci/ is the most second most antisocial board on this site. Now get out.

What is this? If I wanted to read reddit shit, I'd go there.

>>9240740
No its not, unless they just have the diameter wrong everything else about the picture is in line with the 2017 BFR
