nasaspaceflight.com/2020/04/starship-sn4-set-for-test/ >In the end, SN4 passed the cryogenic proof test – hitting 4.9 bar. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk admitted in a tweet that this was “kind of a soft ball…” However, “that’s enough to fly,” he added. It is now expected to move on to engine testing within the coming days.
This means SpaceX Starship, with it's 100 metric tons to orbit capacity and full reusability, will have its first test flight next month, and enter space for the first time this year, with orbit next year.
This means that large scale construction in low orbit and on the moon can happen this decade. Anyone reading this post and not already on death's doorstep will see city lights on the face of the new moon in their lifetime.
SpaceX is a literal shitshow. elon is monetizing the dream of going to mars and not actually doing shit for humanity. best to keep launching cube sats into LEO. he doesnt even understand half the engineering that his slaves do for his bidding.
>remember that reusable rocket he was working on oh it's just gonna have a parachute like in the 50s, but all those billions in taxpayer money sure have taught us a valuable lesson >remember those underground tunnels with hyperspeed platforms that will defeat traffic and cost half the price of a normal tunnel because were just better than everyone oh well, it's just gonna be regular tunnels with cars going 60mph max and finally they cost more than regular tunnels >remember that hyperloop hyperspeed train in a tube etc

"In April, three of the four parachutes in a SpaceX test failed, crashing their payload into the ground" They can't even do parachutes right lol
>oh it's just gonna have a parachute like in the 50s Nope, no parachutes on Starship.

You mean they don't land launcher anymore like in the badass videos I fapped to?
Hunter Adams
Is that a merchant in the moon?
Leo Murphy
They do. The latest booster landing was less than a week ago. He's just being a faggot leaf.
Cameron Lee
I certainly hope not, they can't get the damn things to work reliably!

maybe come back when SpaceX sends succesfully humans to low earth orbit ISS?? so far only Russians on their soviets Baseduzes can do that SpaceX wanted to do that multiple times now but it just keeps getting postponed while tests of future rockets keep getting some issues
Jaxon Barnes
Spacex didn’t build the capsule with the parachutes...

>maybe come back when SpaceX sends succesfully humans to low earth orbit ISS?? That's coming May 27th.
Joshua Fisher
that's coming for a long time now it was supposed to happen in december and week ago too
You aren't paying attention at all. The unmanned demo mission to the ISS last year was successful. NASA has been training astronauts for this mission since then.
hes fucking up my skies so ugandan pygmy trannies can get on grindr
Fuck Space X
Gabriel Richardson
Here's a news flash, parachutes don't work in space or on planets with no atmosphere.
Kayden Jones
shut the fuck up retard space isn't real
Michael Long
Please, God, yes!
Connor Edwards
even Japanese or European Union can do that on their own though he was supposed to send humans to ISS in last July but it keeps getting postponed
Carter Jones
Again, it's locked in for May 27th.
Aaron Collins
Not going to happen. Civilization is in its terminal phase and will be ashes before the year 2100.

>oldfag computer engineers he's an autist self taught programmer with a bachelor of arts in physics. He has no idea what his engineers do. At best he's computer science tier without knowing anything about the theory. He got into programming for the later half of the dot com boom and sold everything before it burst. Impressive sure, but he's a business man with a penchant for tech and programming, that's it.

Is space exploration real?
Carson James
Remember the time when they talked about sending an all female crew on a one way ticket to mars.
>space isn't real >believing in creationism and a dead jew being their savior
you guys crack me up every single time

>city lights on the face of the new moon in their lifetime.
Honestly not sure how I feel about that. Part of me would prefer to see it left pure and natural.
Aaron Rogers
Why send humans to iss? nobody really cares. As fun as it probably is waddling around in space, its still just a bunch of normies having a nerd-out inside a tin can a couple of miles above our heads.
