parapente, you keep stating that " you are not having a go at Elon" but your posts inevitably become critical of Musk, offer back handed complements or seem to be dismissive of SpaceX's achievements. Not exactly sure where your claim and reality intersect, certainly elusive on these pages....
Jump to postWhat are the two satellite dishes just down the road in Brownsville for? They're mainly for tracking manned Dragons. STARGATE's relationship with them is a little fuzzy at the moment. SpaceX is the one that bought and installed them. They were used for Apollo and the Space Shuttle before NASA sold ...

Jump to postFYI just to show how small Falcon Heavy is compared to Saturn V / BFR: https://imagr.eu/up/ALvE7_Screenshot_from_2018-01-05_11-48-46.png And given that it will have the heaviest lift capacity currently if/when she flies shows just how far backwards everyone else has gone. If she flies, SpaceX will ...

Wow, the vision of the 1st Stage return including an uninterrupted boost back and landing video of NROL-76 was absolutely amazing. Catch it on YouTube.
Jump to postOf course Musk's goal is to have them ready to be flung again the same day. .. (Is he expecting to launch rockets on a daily basis?) l. I seem to recall a relatively recent Tweet from Elon that he was expecting a 24 hour turnaround eventually. The process of refining the flight hardware and refurb ...

Jump to postFrom SpaceX yesterday on Twitter...
"Launch moving due to high winds and rains at Vandenberg. Other range conflicts this week results in next available launch date being Jan 14."
My" bona fides"? -- As mentioned earlier in this topic, I do work in the aerospace industry, not with SpaceX or its competitors...But most important bona-fide -- I try to be a no-nonsense engineer who see BS when it appears... Example, check out Musk's presentation on this topic in YouTub...
Jump to postcan't grow the Falcon-9 architecture up to this size and re-use everything, it is so different -- 42 engines in the first stage of BFR (Big F**king Rocket) for about 28-million lb thrust... I'm curious, you seem to be making some pretty definitive statements here. Just wondering what your bona fide...
Jump to post13 million-ton thrust??? Really, is that right?

Any news on the Falcon Heavy folks? It's been very quiet on that front.

Yes I wait for the day we get an unobsured view all the way back to the drone-ship.
Once again, great job SpaceX
Yup, could not have got too much closer to the bullseye.
Awesome stuff. Now to re-fly a returned booster.
Found this on the tube today... Quite good.

Jump to postYes, spotted a photo of the BEAM module being loaded into Dragon's trunk on Twitter earlier today.
Has there been any talk about when they may put the B330 up, and will that fly free or will it be part of the station?
Cheers,
Thanks for that, knew I saw it somewhere else.
An exciting year ahead it seems.
Any ideas when the next launch is? The manifest on the SpaceX site has no dates... TIA
Jump to postI keep hearing rumors of a new viewing platform at PER but I can't find anything other than the existing one at the 03 end of 03/21. Does anyon have any new information on this project?

Jump to postFantastic, well done to all at SpaceX. What a brilliant achievement.
Jump to postThanks for your thoughts guys, I will be looking forward to the cruise for sure.

Yes indeed, very good news that. Hopefully weather will be favorable
Jump to postMy wife and I are looking at booking an Adriatic and Aegean cruise on La Lyrial in 2017 and I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience on her. If so I would really like a brief honest appraisal.
