Blastoff! SpaceX launches 30th cargo mission to space station, nails landing 

This is what happens when politics is removed from the human condition. I'm with you! 65, I'll never lose the child-like wonder in me!

when I was a child I remember seeing rockets on tv going off regularly, (the "space race") and now its happening again but now its so indedibly wonderful to see like never before, wow, I'm "like a child again".

​@@richardsmith8590Politics removed? They hate Elon. Uet he seems to keep on trucking. Fuck the USA. And FUCK any democrat thats against him

I’m 70 and with you! You’ve got to admire Spacex!

80 years old here and i share your sentiments.

It's incredible with which precision they slow down and land smoothly. I was thinking 2km altitude an 1000km/h... isn't that a bit too much? No room for error. Computers are fantastic.

standing on the shoulders of giants tho. (oh, and not the government).

Congrats 👏👏👏

The capsule has to catchup with the ISS

I just checked the tracking number for my parcel to the ISS, it says 'In transit".

The mass of the returning vehicle is a small fraction of the liftoff mass because well over 90% of the fuel was burned, getting the 2nd stage high enough to orbit. Yes the 1st stage looks the same but nearly all its fuel has been burned off, it is only a large, empty tank that has to be steered back to the landing site, wherever that may be.

It's a myth mate just like the ark lol

Only real ones will get that reference haha

Ya really believe this shit is real?? 😭 pretty sad God bless

Get a grip son. If you are really convinced this is flim flam just go there and watch it.

​ Ok smart guy, wanna see some real f'n film flam? I cant wait to hear your response after viewing- an apology will suffice. Here is a video on youtube of the rocket launch of starship test flight #3 which happened about a week ago. AT 3:16 mark the rocket stops ascending and starts to level out... and is level until about 3:26, in which at this point, after being horizontal with the ground, it starts its Descent downwards back down to earth until they cut off the shot at about 4:15mark. And before you think it - No, this isn't the booster falling down. That hasn't happened yet. This is the fate of all rockets Up,, level out, and then its back on down to earth landing somewhere out at sea. Ever hear of the firmament smart guy? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G2LM6zt9Mmw.html @@thosoz3431​

Probably it is or who knows only time will tell.

.. I guess you could say everyone that is breathing is contributing to CO2 in the atmosphere.

If it's already screwed up then why do you care what happens to it?

You must believe cows have something to do with it too. Lol

Ya got ta break eggs to make an omelet.

The metric system is more popular, so it makes sense they are using that

We all need to start using metric system. It really slows up and messes up our better students coming into this world of space flight

No, YOU need them to change it. You need them to change it because you are probably incapable of adapting. In other words, yous a Murcan.
