While that's true, I think it won't be competitive on cost until bigger boosters are available so you can scale it up a bit and integrate the engines for pure reusable TSTO, like SuperHeavy or New Glenn. If they can pull that off I do think it would be the best option for passenger service to orbit, barring magic torch drives that allow spaceplanes that take off horizontally.

Did it yesterday when they were shilling it on stream. Got it on my second try. Would've gotten it on my first try if I had read the instructions on what to do. Just common sense got yaw, pitch and speed in the right range but rotation failed me because the number for it is the only reference point for it and I didn't know what the limit was. The final few meters is a bitch though with the digital controls. Constantly needing to click to feather the translational motion is annoying. I hope the dragon crew has a joystick or some shit for that.

MAGAfag here. Obongo was a nigger and a faggot and the worst US president barring any future disabled transabled or other circus derived individuals that will be elected in the eras to come, but despite giving zero fucks about space he did unknowingly help commercial crew become reality through his struggles with the then republican dominated congress. Around the time SLS was born as well as a fuck you to him by congress who wanted continuation of the ares program which he didn't want. No ares - no replacement for the shuttle. Plan B+ that was probably never expected or meant to work, judging by early funding for it, was commercial crew. I guess someone made a joke "lets use them commercials hah!" and they went along with it because of how retarded it was just to prove obama is a moron and things can go back on track with Ares-derived something. As a result SLS was thrown around in some political circles as the shuttle replacement for a while but they eventually gave up when everybody realized it's not going to fly for decades to come. Then Spacex kept doing things that weren't possible like like making cheap rockets, landing boosters, building heavy lift rockets, and so on. Oh, obama also visited spacex facility instead of ULA's for a hefty PR boost because boing's minime shuttle was full of toxic hypergolics. Little but it matters.

It might for the urban fags with millimeter wave. Right now the main limitation of 4G is that on heavily loaded towers it takes a shit down to like 14kbps per client. I commute on public transit (or I did before Chinese Bat AIDS) and the terminals at peak hours were so crowded LTE just failed. Off hours in the same spot I get enough bandwidth to stream and shitpost. If 5G can provide that during peak hours, it'll allow normies to completely forego home ISPs for their phones.

They need to match orbit without burning a ludicrous amount of fuel and adjust speed/position very carefully to dock without shredding the station on the way up. On the way down they use the atmosphere to slow down and reenter in a hurry.

They get an enema before launch (at least on Soyuz), and when you're "clean", it takes about five days in zero-gee and then you GOTTA GO.

You're absolutely insane if you think they're designing systems used in space travel around cripples. Cars, motorbikes, bicycles and planes made for atmospheric flight don't have that kind of controls. The idea that they're making them touchscreens because they'll be easier to control by nobodies when something goes wrong is absurd.
