Yep, just been called off :weary:

:arteta:

Bad weather? Is sunny bad weather for this?

@Calum This is a cool read!

Tldr; Florida is the ideal place for setting space launches because itā€™s on the equator and when you head East then you are going in the same direction as earthā€™s spin and take-offs happen over the sea which is handy for emergencies. For these reasons you can have less powerful rockets that require less fuel for takeoffs.

Look at that landing. Incredible.

Just ridiculous how much this guy pushes mankind forward and manages teams of talent across multiple companies. Dedicates his life to advance this species. Meanwhile some scrubs on this forum hating on him. :joy:

Criticising him for his non-SpaceX activities doesnā€™t mean we donā€™t appreciate his achievements with SpaceX & Tesla.

A question though -
Are you going to praise Jeff Bezos for pushing mankind 10 years ahead with Ecommerce adoption & AWS?
Or is that only reserved for ā€˜Larger than lifeā€™ projects?

All these cunts are doing is ensuring our destruction a bit quicker than if they werenā€™t around.

Well done to Elon for making that penis rocket land safe though.

I really dislike Jeff Bezos and he is cut from another cloth than Elon. :man_shrugging:t4:

But as long as an individual made a significant contribution to mankind as a whole, does it matter what cloth is that individual cut from?

Jeff Bezosā€™ positive impact on the world is far greater than Elon Muskā€™s.
Elon Muskā€™s contribution is still a theory rather than a practice.
