Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK February 7, 2018 Not only SpaceX succeeded in launching Falcon Heavy but also managed to guide two of the rocket's first stage rocket boosters to land upright back to Earth. Musk has done it once again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP February 7, 2018 I must admit this is really a historical success. It is officially the most powerful rocket since the Saturn V. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK February 7, 2018 This rocket is capable to lift 140,000 pounds of cargo into low Earth orbit, just as same as the Saturn V did it before while sending humans to the moon. Maybe other planets are not so far away from us any more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV February 7, 2018 Well they had a tiny problem with the third booster. It crashed instead of landing on a drone ship. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK February 7, 2018 Yeah, but in this case that is really irrelevant. You can't deny this Musk's triumph. Just now the Tesla's Roadster is floating around the sun with rhythm of the Bowie's "Space Oddity". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franco + 96 FM February 7, 2018 This is inspiring. I am reminded of a quote by Ayn Rand: "The sight of an achievement was the greatest gift a human being could offer to others." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Varga + 123 AV February 8, 2018 Great, Musk just spend another $500 million to get a car into space. Meanwhile, actual costumers are still waiting for their long time ordered cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK February 8, 2018 You may think this is a wasted money but I think this is just another brilliant Musk's move. I love the title printed on the circuit board of a car "Made on Earth by Humans" just in case someone/something somewhere in space finds this car.

Selva + 252 SP February 8, 2018 I think there's something else that's going to jump to the space. Tesla's stocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J Owens + 45 February 8, 2018 I'm going to bet there will never be another electric car made with the range per charge ratio of that Roadster... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petar + 76 PP February 8, 2018 Why did a car need to go to space again? I mean...what is it proving or disproving? Or is this just something fun to get people interested in space exploration? And, of course, good marketing with a lot of money Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damirUSBiH + 327 DD February 8, 2018 Elon Musk - “We [SpaceX] started off with just a few people who really didn't know how to make rockets. And the reason that I ended up being the chief engineer or chief designer, was not because I wanted to, it's because I couldn't hire anyone. Nobody good would join.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel + 384 PP February 8, 2018 Just shows what a positive attitude can do mixed with a little resilience and determination. How many people want to work for SpaceX now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
