Falcon Heavy Test Flight

[ursamajor]

Score one for privatization. How many rockets did Elon have to go through, that blew up on the launchpad, or shortly thereafter (LINE EVERY FUCKTARD GOVERNMENT THAT HAD/HAS A ROCKET PROGRAM) before this successful launch.

Wait, you mean a guy that was able to hire top scientists in an already established field had more success, quicker, than those that had to pioneer it to begin with? That's fucking brilliant! Stop the presses guys, I have tomorrow's Tribune headline: "We Print more Words with the Touch of a Button than Gutenberg did in his Entire Life; suck on that Johan!"

Who do you think funds this shill?

Aussie is smarter than all of you.

The US government hired/commandeered top Nazi scientists, already established in their fields.

How many US rockets failed, before successfully launching?

Sorry that I insulted your God.

NASA successful mission rate from 1970 on: 94.56%
SpaceX Falcon 9 success rate: 93% "which is right in the ballpark of the industry average of 95%" [LA Times]
Falcon Heavy success rate: 66% (they lost the primary booster, which crashed into the ocean at 300mph; damaging the landing ship).

So, what you're telling me is that your god is slightly worse than NASA which, over the last 50 years, is slightly worse than the current "industry average." Good call!

Before ‘70? Von Braun got Stateside in ‘50

i aiint smart...

but i do wonder why the earth aint be rotating 1000 mph and the clouds aint be moving while starman fake be floating in da space right nexx to it..

 

[AussieBear]

ghod damn yo.. wtf.. da earth no longer rotates 1k mph or travels across da stars at 67k mph... gtfo

shit be so fake its real

 

[AussieBear]

would dem tires explode in a vacuum?? asking da scientists here?

anyway.. more fakery via they feed..

Standard atmospheric pressure at sea-level Earth is just 14.696 psi. Compare that to 340 or 300 psi (23.14 and 20.42 amt, respectively). The difference in internal tire pressure in Earth's atmosphere and absence of atmospheric pressure in vacuum of space is only 4.3 - 4.9%. Tires would experience far more dynamic pressure environment due to friction heating and pressure of weight of the orbiter during landing (240,000 lbs / 109,000 kg) at contact speeds up to 260 mph (418 km/h) than those ~ 5%. So it's reasonable to assume they were built and tested to withstand more than a pressure difference during a trip to LEO and back.

Yes! Because over last 50 years success depended on landing the boosters without damage... So... Basically 100% failure rate for everyone?!

I saw an article that said eventually all the earth gases would have to come out, even the ones trapped in seat cushions. The rubber is supposed to decay quickly and the plastics, but the metal will be impervious to space dust and radiation probably longer than humanity lasts.

This scientist seemed to think when these gases come out it could actually disturb the flight path and maybe send it off course and not orbit the sun and be lost forever. such as a tire explosion,

Right, landing the booster safely was absolutely part of the mission statement for all of those launches!

Why do so many of you insist on being idiots? I mean, just look at Ursa: "But the US stole German rocket scientists! Why did they still have failed tests‽‽‽" Yeah, because an emerging technology is exactly analogous to one with over 70 years of research and practical testing behind it, right?

I think you miss my point. Successfully launching a rocket is hard, landing one after successfully launching it is significantly harder.

Don't disagree, the secondary booster landings were really fucking impressive.
