Compare how much money each company spent before the first/second/etc flight. The ENTIRE program has so far cost less than one set of SLS engines - that they took from older rockets without changes. They have explicitly and public

SpaceX is inventing quite a lot, there's more areas where they started greenfield than where they got help.

No, all or the absolute majority of it burns around 50km.

Almost a complete failure except for second ever caught first stage... BTW they first tested a redesigned version of Starship today.

Take a look into a pilot handbook, they are all written down there.

Yeah lol, who cares about this?

Please, this is a conversation, not math exam.

Oh no, Musk convinced the engineers it's possible. One of the interesting things about him.

I don't know how to put this if you don't see the difference yourself by now, but that's not an orbital rocket that could lift anything from Earth nor land back there. One huge problem is hypersonic aerodynamics, something yo

Thank you, if he really said that he is one of the best players, that would be a lie. I don't think just streaming a leveled up account is a lie, though. Why do you talk about hours per day? Does it matter if you play less hours per da

Wouldn't really consider that NewSpace. These are as old as space industry gets...

Apollo 11 had a three stage rocket and every stage was discarded. SpaceX is obviously not the first company to land something - but landing a rocket booster that just performed an orbital lift is the interesting and extremely hard thing to

I told you what didn't happen - the situation wasn't as clear as you say. Everybody in the space industry was absolutely sure he is totally crazy and it's impossible to do with an entire first/second stage rocket booster

I'm trying to say that it doesn't cancel but that doesn't mean I won't listen.

Where does he lie about a video game? Maybe he has someone boost his level. Did he say it's not true? Just doing that can have many reasons - maybe he likes a shiny number there, wants a bigger challenge, more fun because of higher lev

Well I heard it myself from practically anybody up until 2015. I even attended quite a lot of conference talks on this topic... I'm sure it's not hard to find it online, famously a NASA director (I think?) did so.

by throw5959 2y ago
Sorry but no, this is absolutely not what happened. I am watching it closely ever since SpaceX was founded in 2002. There is an incredible gap between the tech demo you're speaking about, and actually landing a heavy orbital rocket, an

I called him crazy myself (and I do think it's true), to illustrate that I am aware of his antics and it's not a reason to stop listening.

by throw5959 2y ago
Sure, I'm not saying Musk is the only person who has interesting things to say about it. You're absolutely correct about these other people and I listen to them too. But you're not giving Musk enough credit. All engineers and

by throw5959 2y ago
What other person started a rocket company from scratch and got them landing? Of course I want to hear everything he says. Yes, he's crazy - seems to be a requirement if you want to do such stuff. Doesn't mean I will ignore it. I

Who cares? It's what the indicator says, I don't need to visualize feet to do calculations and talk to the tower about them. If you can see a 1x1m tile from the cockpit, you're dead.
24.
by throw5959 2y ago
No, it doesn't. I'm European, never used imperial before I became a pilot, and it's easier. Check it out, the formulas are much simpler to do in your head. Intuition doesn't matter, all that matters is that I can do the

No glider I have ever stepped in used metres. It doesn't make any sense, the tower wants to hear feet and knots and will communicate using that.
26.
by throw5959 2y ago
Can confirm, all aviation worldwide deals in feet and knots. It's also because it's much easier to do calculations on the fly (literally) - in your head. Metric is precise and logical but harder to use in stressful situations.
