Rocket Launch - SpaceX CRS-12

hope they manage to include live footage of the barge landing this time. lol. otherwise im writing this all off as an elaborate ruse.

LOX load has started

>>137417825
oh good, the retards still come to launch threads.


CRS missions land at LZ-1 by the way. No droneship landing this time.

nasaTV is now live. They sometimes have better views than the SpaceX one.

>>137417995
oh good, you avoid the fact that there is never external footage of the landing.

SPACEX STREAM IS ONLINE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLxWsYx8dbo

His engines are ready, clamps weak, fuel is heavy
There's icing on his panels already, Elon's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to lift off
But he keeps on forgetting, when he'll touch down
The launch pad goes so loud
He opens his valves, but the thrust won't come out
He's choking how, ULA's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality. Oh, there pulls gravity
Oh, there goes Falcon, he choked
He's so bad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't orbit, he knows his whole back's to these loads
It don't matter, he'll cope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so sad that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile pad, that's when it's
Back to the VAB again

3 min to go

ULA on continued suicide watch.

How come nasa has never tried to land a rocket and reutilize it, instead of spending millions in expensive rockets?

Each launch is one launch closer to colonizing Mars.

OCUPPY MARS

That was pretty neat

Propulsion rockets are the most expensive parts...

14th successful landing. Come on Bezos, get us some competition already

shut up ULA

>>137424191
Go home Reddit, the aerospace industry are not even concerned with Musk the Cuck as he is often laughed at by those high in the community.

old space is scared shitless of Elon & Bezos.

>>137424728
>I can get more launches because I do everything at a lost and make tax payers pay for it.
Nigger seriously?

>>137424483
Totally not concerned about next launch being X-37B.
Can't even Start designing your next rocket because Bezos fails to deliver.
Meanwhile 2 different engines are being designed at taxpayer expenses.
Not even sure there will be a market left for it by the time it even flies.
Not worried.

>>137425034
>t. deluxe gold-edition moron

As a taxpayer I'm happy that the US saves 300 million dollars for every launch that SpaceX does for the govt vs ULA. That chart is commercial contracts, by the way

your daddy is probably some grumpy engineer in Old Space, mmmmmhmmm?

Holy shit the delusional shills are here. Please go back.

>>137425162
x37b is now 7 September. Next launch on 24 August is ORMOSAT-5. Was originally a falcon 1 payload, lol

>implying crew is more important than the payload

You're going to wake up and discover that you're in a spaceship going to some wierd planet, just because you need a few bucks.

Then you'll see why it its fucked up this line of though.

I was referring to the big re-usable liquid fuel rocket engines in the back.

Soon.

>>137426898
Those engines didn't come back in condition for reuse, though.

Anyway, the real kicker of the Space Shuttle is that they had to scale it up so much to make it manned+partially-recoverable that the expendable fuel tank cost as much as a complete expendable rocket with the same cargo payload would have.

Even if everything had worked perfectly, it couldn't have reduced launch costs.

>>137427714
not to mention the fact that NASA got payed the same amount each year for the shuttle; it wasn't per-flight. The shuttle was a pork program to sustain 30,000 jobs

>>137427714
I never said it reduced launch costs. You asked if they tried to land and re-use a rocket, to which I replied that they did.

The shuttle engines were re-used. They had to go through refurbishing, but so do the F9's engines to a lesser degree. SpaceX doing a better job of it is not shocking seeing as SpaceX had like 35 years of tech advancements to work with.
