Couple of hours from now is the current scheduled launch time.

I had to watch a lot of it with sound muted due to the hysterical Muricans Hooting and Screaming every time there was puff of condensation from the launch pad.

Fucking show wasters...

That was fucking awesome apart from the crowd noise.

It's like they have world class dart players at mission control to land the boosters. (Or they are really dead jammy.)

The tech and engineering is 'out of this world'.

It was a bit dummed down in the commentary mind you.

I was not aware they run on Paraffin.

Saturn Rockets and Space Shuttle ran on Hydrogen and Oxygen. Unstable bastirts.

Just watched it, was damn impressive seeing the 2 side boosters land side by side though, just a shame the centre section didn't fare so well, reports on the BBC say it ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean

Didn't fancy using electric power to launch it then?

This seems almost too far fetched to believe, some of it looks so unreal, it looks faked, especially the vertical landing of the outer boosters in almost perfect simulation.
So that car is now hurtling around space with zero control or manoeuvrability and is off it's intended orbit. Let's hope it doesn't hit anything important.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why go to all that expense and effort to launch an electric car with a dummy sitting in the driver's seat into Mars orbit? Would it not be more beneficial to launch a Mars probe to gather more info?
That's some expensive and pointless advert, when there were some far more useful heavy objects which could have been launched to show the rocket worked.

I got a bit of a chub on when the reusable engines touched back down perfectly

I loved it, it was amazing proper thunderbirds shit. My dad actually rung me up and asked me if it was real.

So is it all reusable, like the shuttle only bigger?

Only Muricans you can hear are the rocket engines.

The numbers are incredible.
