Born Hunter 17,960 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 SpaceX have just launched the first US manned rocket since the shuttles retired! The first time humans have been put in space by a private company. This is huge imo, its really the dawn of a new age of space exploration driven by capitalists and the private sector. I genuinely believe the mad b*****d billionaire wants to colonised Mars and he might just get there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,960 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 In other awesome space news, the proposed UK launch site in scotland has been given the nod and we might be seeing the first launch next year iirc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have sat out every night and saw f**k all as yet, of all this space travel, last night obviously to light and second flypass to far south, hope he does colonise mars and take all his billionaire buddy’s with him, might get back to what actually matters in life, and for Greb 147 are you using a telescope because every time somethings going on you have managed to see it, if not do you want to come out looking for big cats ?? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, just the right orientation and my own blinkers. I see the flat earthers are already claiming a hoax because the feed cut off when the Falcon 9 was landing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think that essentially dead planets/moon/asteroids have some sort of conservation value? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francie 6,368 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 What is the point in colonising an other planet, especially when there's no oxygen? Or water Or food Sounds pretty pointless to me,an a waste of money , an I wouldn't trust these people. So total recall might actually be true Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's never gona happen greb, Mars has nothing to start with, water food etc They have a habitable planet under our feet an they can't look after it. Where is musks rockets, going after docking with iss? The iss is still in our orbit so technically its not in space. Mars is 140 million miles away on average, a manned craft will not make it.
