Looking at the launch schedule for the next 10 months...

Plus, in the first few months of next year, we have FH launch 2, and the crew demo!

This is literally just the offbrand, somehow worse version of Armageddon.

I'm just going to leave this here: I don't have time to watch it rn, but I skipped to a random section and there is... A SPACE SHUTTLE ON THE MOON?! This is where the fun begins.

This is inaccurate. On the Mars One website, it says they will built a transfer module with extra habitation space and fuel. Still crowded compared to BFR though. And they have no money or higher. Also, they are training astronauts because they want to sell astronauts to other space companies(though this won't ever happen).

They're not really a scam- I think they are seriously trying, but are just completely failing in every way, and don't have 1% the money they would need.

Sadly, NASA isn't spending any money on landing on the moon, despite last week's announcement.

Page 500! So you can't really say @Kerbal7 that NASA will get to Mars anytime soon if they are spending $0 on lander development. You can have doubts about SpaceX, but they are at least putting money towards Mars capable crafts.

He also talks to congressmen, who won't delegate enough funding to launch sooner. Even though NASA has in total more money than SpaceX, very little of that money is being used to develop manned mars landers.

Those look like the ship from 2001 Anything can be interstellar travel if you wait long enough* *and have enough dv/use gravity assists to escape

Its pretty close to the curiosity, only a couple hundred miles away.

yes

I know its been 4 years, but what happened?

Believe it or not, Kerbol has an atmosphere. Without using the cheat menu, get science from the atmosphere of the sun. Bonus points if you return to kerbin afterwords. All non-part mods allowed. I recommend using better time warp, so you can make your orbit just go in the top few meters of the atmosphere, slow down time, and quickly get some science. You'll still need an outrages amount of heat shields and radiators though. Good luck!

10,000 petameters from the sun. About 1000 lightyears.

Yep. Just like Nat Geo's Mars and Lost in Space.

It will probably end up being explosions and ship to ship battles, and not psycohistorical conversations. I'm not sure how that book can be adapted to tv. Also, not fiction, but First Man shows how you can have drama without sacrificing realism. The spin malfunction was scary!

Where are you getting these numbers from? How could it cost 1 trillion dollars even if they used the SLS and took 25 years? Even 10 SLS launches is "only" 20-30 billion. That number came from no where. Even the entire moon program cost 150 billion adjusted for inflation, and that was starting from nothing with 60s technology. There is no scenario where it would cost 1 trillion. BTW I hope @Kerbal7 is still on the forums in 12 years so we can see if he's right.

SpaceX has a contract with NASA for the Dragon delay. It does not have a contract for the BFR.

Its been a year, the submarine kerbin rift bug has been recreated and confirmed. However, the SSTV, the secret property of the boulders, and the appearance of Wherner in outer space remain unexplained.

1. Its not the 1960s 2. SpaceX is older than NASA was when the Saturn V was launched 3. How is SpaceX "itty biity"? It has a 27 billion dollar evaluation, which is more than NASA's annual budget. And unlike NASA, it can spend that money however it likes
