This is the 11th spacex mission to the ISS. It's an unmanned cargo flight.

There will be a 1st stage landing at LZ-1 a few minutes after launch.

note how it gets dark when the thrusters ignite, thats normal due to the exposure, but it stays dark even when the flames left the frame it doesnt get bright again. shortly afterwards the commentator even says "the sun set several minutes ago" 1:40 minutes after liftoff even though during liftoff it was still bright. my guess the editor edited it the right way in the beginning, and after the cut some other guy took on the work, saw its dark at the end and kept it and the commentators had to go with it

He famously said of viewing Earth from space: “You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.’ ” This quote has been cited as an example of the overview effect, a perspective shift toward global unity and conservation reported by astronauts struck by the planet's fragility.

It's a metal tube that is strapped to a zillion tons of exploding rocket fuel that goes into space and then crashes back to Earth. Refurbishing it would be more expensive than making a brand new one.

The whole shtick is nothing but retarded politics. I guess NASA didn't want to fund this unless they made some token effort of making it 'reusable'. (Cancelling the Shuttle and going back to plain old rockets would have probably ruined some moronic boss's plans and career aspirations. Plus USA #1 'n sheet.)

The issue as i see it is post-modernism and pop science.

Post modernism tells people that reason and science are inherently incorrect.

Pop science tells people that they can understand science without an education.

You put those things together and people end up using the same logic and arguments for perpetual motion, ftl travel, asteroid mining, space elevators, flat earth, anti-vax, elvis is still alive, etc etc.

Science depends on reason and having trust in reason. Reason is no longer a component of any aspect of our post-modern world.

>Keep pushing that meme bro, once ULA loses its contracts you won't be selling anymore of your rockets to us.
Fine by me. It's embarrassing that the USA lost its spaceflight capability when even the Chinese have it. (Focusing on boondoggles like 'reusable spaceflight' probably had a big role in this embarrassment.)

Refurbishing would be more expensive than making a brand new one. Imagine 'refurbishing' a cell phone that got dropped into salt water and then thrown off a cliff. That's the kind of 'refurbishing' we're talking about here.

I have a terrible understanding of physics, but wouldn't the heat from your body escape into the surrounding vacuum?

Or is it that since there's nothing for it to escape to, it would just stay within me. To be fair, I have no idea what I really mean by "escape into surroundings"

False. Anything that you can mine on an asteroid you can also mine from the bottom of the sea at one thousandth of the cost.

There is no practical value in spaceflight aside from spy satellites and orbital weapons.

>>128321174
so why doesn't spacex just go do it?

how fucking hard could it be to build a self-instantiating mining facility and self-launching space center that could be dropped on an asteroid.

I feel like you could take 100,000 engineers working non-stop and have it done in like 3 years tops.

>>128321254

It's nothing like that. They designed the engines and rockets to require as little maintenance as possible between launches. It's nothing like the shuttle boosters that landed in salt water.

Time and the price of launches will tell.

>>128321640
>Anything that you can mine on an asteroid you can also mine from the bottom of the sea at one thousandth of the cost.
There's no guarantee at sea mining, sea mining comes with countless and VERY EXPENSIVE environmental regs, and it's much harder to mine at 300+ atmospheres than you think.

Asteroid mining is what SpaceX is after. Idiots like you can't see 50+ years into the future.

>>128321296
>I have a terrible understanding of physics, but wouldn't the heat from your body escape into the surrounding vacuum?
A vacuum is an absence of matter so there is nothing for it to escape "into". Rather your body emits infrared radiation that shoots off into the cosmos at light speed. But that's not nearly as efficient as convection is so space suits need heat radiation systems or the astronauts will die of heat stroke. The Apollo astronauts all complained about getting swamp ass in the moon landing suits because the heat was unbearable.

>Why does rubbing into things make me colder and them hotter?
For simplicity's sake heat can be thought of like vibration. So if you had a vibrating object like a guitar string or a musical triangle, if you brought it in contact with an object that wasn't vibrating the vibration slows or stops because it has transferred its motion to the atoms in the other objects.

>hey designed the engines and rockets to require as little maintenance as possible between launches
NASA designed the shuttle's main engines to do the same thing. They still had to replace them every time because there are few machines in existence more complicated and that contain a greater amount of energy than a rocket engine.

The SRB's that landed in the sea were always recovered intact.

>>128321843
They land them on barges because they get too far away to make it back to land on the fuel they have. It takes a while to get back to shore after that, and the salt air and water spray gets in everything and corrodes the fuck out of it.

Not really. We know that gold and other rare metals came to the earth via asteroids.

The only question is how do we engineer something to capture and reel in an asteroid to get at its metals.

>>128323676
>The only question is how do we engineer something to capture and reel in an asteroid to get at its metals.
We don't. That's the issue. There are no methods that would allow us to get that mass down to earth that wouldn't cost more than the material is worth. breaking it up makes it more expensive, and there's no way to deorbit a giant rock since they aren't made to handle the loads and they'll be completely uncontrollable if the rocket you strap to it is off the asteroid's center of mass by even a few millimeters.

But go ahead and resort to the same reductionist logic as a flat earther.

>>128324300
>And yet here spacex is doing it.
You will be hard pressed to present evidence that spacex refurbished the rocket and did not just replace everything but the outer casing.

>>128324513

If the costs go down, obviously there is some driving force allowing the costs to go down.
