Man on the Moon

but more likely whatever the equivalent of The Thing is for wherever they're stationed, since the wifi will probably suck so you'll be watching the same DVD over and over.
There's probably a bunch to pick from for the moon. Mars movies are usually sillier shit like Total Recall so you might have to count horror movies that take place in Australia. Basically the same thing. I can't think of any but I assume those exist.
 
They will try again tomorrow assuming its an easy fix. This is just a low earth orbit test. The window is just for the purposes of positioning the vehicles to observe the booster and ship landings.
I hope you're right. However, emergency engine shutdowns like they did have damaged engines in the past so they might have to remove all the engines for inspection and repair.
 
A sentient ass was fucking smarter than you fuckers. Drunk dudes from the 60s stay winning.
If we're all so dumb, why are you wasting your time arguing with us? Do you aspire to be a sped teacher or something?

It hasn't launched yet, retard.
Yep. I do worry about the condition of the engines since they don't like being rapidly shut down. Hopefully it was a softer shutdown than the ones they had before the previous flight.

I was right, you retards dick riding an autistic freak were wrong. Go suckle Elons pendulous breasts.
 
Watching those Artemis III and IV schedules is starting to get very stressful.

Come on Elon and Bezos you retarded niggers make your fucking rockets work already.

I mean sure, it's never worked once. Definitely hasn't flown a dozen times already. It's a complete failure. SpaceX definitely never got the catcher to work (because super heavy never flew), didn't ever manage to land a re-usable rocket at all, and have never once put anything into orbit with any of their rockets.

I think we've found thunderf00t's shitposting account, lads.

I'll be the first to say I'm not a big fan on Starship (ESPECIALLY for crewed flights) but I do want it to succeed.

Also, where mah nigga Dream Chaser be???


Late 2026 hopefully 🥲

Space Planes are probably the coolest space vehicle and it's super lame we don't see them being used. I had a shit ton of Space Shuttle related toys as a kid.

I want to see SpaceX test their Starfall system because they could make a crewed version and we could get real life ODST.
 
Spaceplanes are stupid and gay and inefficient and I hate them unless they're actually capable of SSTO. In which case they'd be super cool and the best rockets ever, but everyone's too stupid and gay to make one.
I guess landing on a runway is kinda neat but now we can land on a pad which is even cooler so whatever.

I suppose air-launched ones aren't that lame, but you'd need a shiny ace combat boss looking design where it lifts off in one piece and then the air engines detach and land separately for it to be actually cool.

I think the logic behind them was that they were seen as the only way to make reusable rockets. In the past either NASA didn't believe you could ignite rocket engines during descent at supersonic speeds(heard that somewhere but don't remember) or they didn't think it was possible to land rockets vertically with pre-GPS technology. So spaceplanes/shuttles were seen as the only viable reusable rocket systems.

The reason for space-planes is cross-range ability. Apollo had a cross-range of about 300 miles, but could only land under parachutes. Starship has a theoretical cross-range of about 300-500 miles, but in its proposed final form has to land at a specially built pad. The shuttle had a cross-range 1200 miles with ease and could land on any sufficiently long runway, though in practical terms there were only a couple it could actually use. The point of the X-37B, Dream Chaser, and similar small space planes is that they're intended to be able to land from an unpredictable orbit or change their landing zone with relative ease, not be so limited by landing infrastructure as a vertical lander, and be able to land in a more practical spot than the middle of the ocean.

My military autist brain see's the potential of Starship of making Space Marines real. Just imagine having a Space Force special forces team that can be delivered anywhere in the planet under an hour.

Definitely a legitimate concern, the previous SpaceX launch I watched had the booster fail to reignite, but I think that was because of fuel sloshing when it detached from the upper stage. Lots of ways it can go wrong.
