Shits gonna fail. Drunk dudes in the 60s could do more with paper than these retards can do with modern computing.
Being able to 100% reuse a lift rocket, have double the thrust, cost 90 million dollars compared to the 1.16 billion for a Saturn V rocket (adjusted to 2026 cost) and a 25% payload increase on average does not sound to me like it is less than what drunk dudes in the 60's could make.
 
hail satan
rockets are metal and you got a tom hanks movie already
please guide and protect our space robot so we can all see a cool boat explosion at the end

As long as it doesn’t explode.
 
It'll probably do well. The issues SpaceX is going to be having haven't started yet but will soon due to the massive expansion they'll be going through due to the IPO and the growing pains it'll cause. But I think this rocket should perform well though I'll bet some small issues will come up here and there.

It is as inevitable that we colonize Mars as it was that we eventually colonized other continents. And surely there were peons back then crying about it as well. Spacex may not be the company to do it but the progress theyre making is unprecedented. Were decades ahead of the Chinese.

Spacex produced videos are some of the coolest shit ever.
They keep saying TRANCH on the NASA Space flight stream and it makes me do a double take every time.
Some of the shots from these videos legitimately look straight out of a big budget modern SCI FI movie.
"China just recovered its first orbital-class booster (Long March 10B) in July 2026, a feat SpaceX achieved in 2015"

I hope the launch is a stunning success because it will piss off that fucking liberal fag Thunderf00t.
Same here.
No dooming allowed in the space thread! We are all going to make it (to mars)!
Its not just about going to Mars. A huge benefit of Starlink is that the low latency means you can control anything anywhere on earth from anywhere else. So long as we don't let companies hire people in 3rd world countries to control humanoid robots in America and Europe to do labor and service jobs, this tech should be really useful. Low latency is really important for teleoperation since reaction time is far more important than the bandwidth/transfer rate.

Imagine being able to control a robotic astronauts and build massive space stations or mine minerals in remote areas on earth that can't sustain human life.
