  the falcon heavy is set to launch today.

  if successful, it will become the most powerful rocket in use (twice as powerful as the delta heavy).. as it's the very first attempt, elon musk has said he thinks there's a 50/50 chance of it not blowing up.

  so should be interesting.

  I'm struggling to see the amazing advancement in all this. It's really just that a rocket landed, right?

  Nope. It's not "just a rocket that landed." It's the implications of re-usability. It's the cost reduction. It's much larger payloads. It's a technology demonstrator for dozens of motors on a single rocket. It's a pathway to the Interplanetary Transport System (BFR). It's the ability to put up giant space telescopes. Etc. Etc. Etc.

  "Just a rocket landed" folks, this is what happens when your mind is vandalized by Fox News. You learn to disparage accomplishments by dismissing them as simplistic and insignificant. And you corrupt hope and optimism - with cynicism and distrust.

  He is doing it with his own money.

  Spacex is a privately held and run company that operates off of private funding and hasn't received a single dime from federal government subsidies. The only government money it receives are from NASA contracts (where it's getting paid to supply the ISS and put satellites into orbit) and defense contracts (where it's getting paid to provide a service). This is unlike the ULA which gets paid 800milion dollars a year simply as a retainer (subsidy).

  As usual HH, you have no idea what you're talking about. Turn off Fox News and actually do some research for once. You're fake outrage is getting old fast.

  As it's the very first attempt, Elon Musk has said he thinks there's a 50/50 chance of it not blowing up. So should be interesting. The launch window opens after 12:00 EST today so if you want to watch here's a link to the live stream:

  VW,

  Politics is the difference between North Korea and South Korea.

  Yeah, it can be tedious and tiresome. But when it comes to how our governments are shaped there are only two options - to engage in discussion or to use force.

  Yup folks, anyone who doesn't like Trump is a socialist.

  No need to keep the thread going. Let's just grab our pitchforks and run these socialists out of town.
