Falcon Heavy & Starman

  • When Falcon Heavy lifted off, it became the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)---a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel--Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost.
    Following liftoff, the two side boosters separated from the center core and returned to landing site for future reuse.
    Falcon Heavy put a Tesla Roadster and its passenger, Starman, into orbit around the sun. At max velocity Starman and the Roadster will travel 11 km/s (7mi/s) and travel 400 million km (250 million mi) from Earth.

      Ammon Stone I got a suspension from my school in the 1980's for taking two days off to watch the launch of the space shuttle... The first day it was scrubbed, the second day it launched. My problem was as a kid I thought they would be 'good to go' with my enthusiasm for space.... I was wrong...
      I did however manage 8 years later to somehow complete my final in physics... So they were wrong too.
      So I don't know your ex-employers... But they are dickheads. Fuck 'em...
      It has always been folks like Musk and those that support him that have dragged the rest of humanity out of the african savanna, out of the caves, out of darkness. If it wasn't for folks like that, inspiring us, showing us what is possible... Well we'd all be back sitting on our ass banging rocks together to make fire.

      There are some things in life that you just have to do, whatever the cost.
      In 2011 I just got on a plane and flew over from Europe just to watch shuttle Endeavor's last launch.
      Was delayed twice, changed my return ticket twice (2x $500), ended up staying a month, flew my girlfriend over to join me, travelled a lot, and then on the final day fell asleep on the causeway waiting for the launch after spending the night wandering around the space centre for hours!
      Woke with my rib cage rattling from the rockets, just in time to see it disappear behind the clouds 2 seconds later!
      Probably blew around $5000 on that whim, but was still worth it!

    My grandmother was born in 1930, a person who always instilled in us a taste for knowledge and science, in her library she had albums and albums full of clippings from newspapers and magazines related to the beginning of the space race, the arrival of man to the moon (she was a teacher and borrowed a television from a local company so her students could watch the broadcast) until the beginning and end of the shuttle era. You would have seen her face when we saw those boosters together landing in that synchronicity, she turned to me and I could see those tears in her eyes from her emotion. She pass away last year, whenever I miss her I come to see this video. Thank you to the entire SpaceX team for what you have given us.

      You guys are missing the point. The payload wasn't the coolest thing, and I'd even venture to say the rocket wasn't either. The fact that they can launch, recover, and reuse such a MASSIVE rocket, with equally massive payload, is a revolutionary occurrence that opens the door to manned missions beyond our moon. What we witnessed that day was not just a cool ass rocket launch, but a tipping point in human history.

      INSOFT Hi. There have been designed the most powerful ON EARTH mechanical (not hydraulic) press, of at least 100,000t, by the elderly inventor alone. But do you think they say "wow! I want that press at every cost!"? The cost is not "every", by the way. Don’t you feel the irony of the moment? We’ve left the stone age just now, for the age of the regular space flights! The 100,000 press machine is a hallmark of the new era.... But they do not burst into tears in great excitement. They're too busy: the dreams about the future, you know. How ON EARTH they're going to build all these projects without developing heavy industries and promoting such great inventors and inventions!?
      If you'd like to support the inventor and his powerful project, please contact me.

My Dad watched the original Apollo missions as a boy and told me he cried during the Falcon Heavy launch because of the unifying impact it had on everyone watching it, just as it did during the Apollo era. He felt like a little boy again. We have truly entered into a new golden era of space travel thanks largely to SpaceX, but so many other companies are in the race now; the more the merrier I say. With the promise or more exciting things to come, what a amazing time to be alive!
