Please Elon...

? Your saying the light from the moon reflected off a mirror in space onto a cloud????????????? I believe you, but I'm more than slightly skeptical.

This is not true. Maybe a year ago saying that might make since, but it is currently being built and much of spacex's employees are being diverted to it. I do not care what blabbermouth Musk says. His merits are indisputable but unfortunately he ruin part of his credibility with crazy fantasy stories. Problem is that Mars mission cost hundreds or thousands of billions of doll [Citation needed] The SLS costs 2 billion per launch. Even at that rate, hundreds of billions is ridiculous. MDRM, Mars One, Mars Direct, Mars Semidirect, BFR, Planetary Society, none of those studies come remotely close to 100 billion. Remember, the cost of a moon base is 10 billion. https://www.popsci.com/we-could-be-living-on-moon-in-10-years-or-less Was landing on a droneship a crazy fantasy story? What about making an economical electric self driving car? What about Boring tunnels to create an automatic subway that takes your car with it? Bad analogy. This is liking boasting you are going to build a plane, when you have enough money to build it 10 times over. They dont have to. Part of the purpose of F9 landings is to provide data for BFR.

2087: Quoting someone for no reason.

Musk has 20 billion dollars. He could build 40 BFRs. Do you know the info about the BFR? It does not detach a lander, it lands on Mars itself. It is the habitat.

@riocrokite hmm....

*cough* BFR *cough*

Musk and Zubrin are certainly "in the field" Even it was not reusable, it would still be cheaper than the SLS. "That would be like be shooting your own soldiers to study wound pathology" - Zubrin Also, the curiosity measured radiation well en route to Mars.

He has said that all of the entrepreneuring he has done his entire life has been for Mars. Just like we save up for stuff, the ulterior goal for SpaceX is to send him to Mars. If everyone was trying, it would be done in 6 years. No new technology is needed. I'm normally pessimistic about space, but this is just untrue. Most people would love to send people to Mars. Remember, the Shuttles weren't canceled after the disasters, but rather a decade later, due to economics. There is no doubt whatsoever that a manned mars mission will be launched before 2030.

MISSION SUCCESS

When SpaceX does crewed launches, it should put a ksp style face cam in the corner.

Mvac is going to turn around and desert tess

not really

Feed is back.

or sea, more likely We'll just have to wait and sea.

The music has speeches about space mixed in sometimes.

It went from being in space to the ocean so fast. It never gets old.

IT LANDED

Audio is kind of fuzzy INTERNAL POWER What is that ring shaped debris at the engine after every sep? GRID FINS OUT

galactus is trying to get the TESSeract

So those giant things are megalightningrods to protect the rocket. TIL 5 MINUTES

Started! Haha, there is "Earth" at the end of the location banner.
