Space X manned launch today
4:33p today space X will launch a manned flight today. Damn I hope it goes OK. It might not happen as the weather is crappy today in Florida. We will never be a civilized nation when bad weather can stop a rocket launch

This is the first step to faster flights and going to the moon/Mars.

It’s amazing that musk and crew can pull of these reused rockets. Musk is intent in getting to Mars. Let’s hope today is a good first step
Re: Space X manned launch today
I'm excited for not only a return to the space race from America but also from a private company! I can't tell you how disappointed I was that Obama turned NASA into a Muslim outreach service. Yeah so apparently Arabic people helped with early math and Indians invented the concept of 0 and all, but I mean you can't be as far along as NASA had been and then decide to make a u-turn to big up some folks who have been dead hundreds of years. Since people like 'Abd al-Hamīd ibn Turk (quadratics), Abū Sahl al-Qūhī (centers of gravity), and Abu'l-Hasan al-Uqlidisi (arithmetic) what have Muslim people provided more than anyone else? Space is literally above and should figuratively be above getting involved in race and religion.
"When I became the NASA administrator, (President Obama) charged me with three things," Bolden said in the interview which aired last week. "One, he wanted me to helpre-inspire children to want to get into science and math; he wanted metoexpand our international relationships; and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering." - Charles Bolden
"engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering."
So our tax dollars were spent not on "getting to Mars" or creating better more advanced travel systems, but a self-esteem project for Muslim nations. Fucking pathetic.
Elon Musk is a funny dude, he's very interesting in this day and age. Could be a modern day Tycoon/Robber Baron, could be a Howard Hughes-esque dreamer.

People who worship Elon musk are sicophants.
Re: Space X manned launch today
think the people who are clamoring to suck Musk's dick (especially after the Falcon Heavy launch) need to calm down a little bit.
Everyone is throwing around "Elon Musk did this" and "Elon is going to save the world" and so on, but really at this point he's just a guy with some (very good) ideas and a big bank account.
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve any credit, the guy has accomplished more than many people ever will, but he hasn't done it alone. Between Tesla and SpaceX there are armies of engineers working on various projects. He might have had the idea for reusable rocket boosters but it's unlikely that he was the guy who designed the whole system and all the stuff that went into it.

How's the Armenian space program?

Those NASA aims sound laudable, education and raising awareness are good values. Better that than cause division and hate perpetuated by the current president.

Yeah hey maybe if England did that a few thousand British girls would have been better off. Maybe that's the issue over there eh? Those guys had poor self esteem and if they would have heard of the Muslim developments in math and algebra they would have chosen a different path than child rape.

Master, we are talking about NASA here. Not international outreach
Re: Space X manned launch today
So a rocket launch called due to weather, we are not yet civilized. Damn astronauts gotta be some of the bravest people on the planet. I had a cool ride in a military jet which is absolutely mindblowing, parachuted which was beyond intense, the shit those astronauts experience I didn’t even touch but they were some of the most moments of my life. The risk and overall experience of an astronaut is beyond the beyond

We should really take time to thank Neanderthals who first dreamed of flight. We are truly standing on the shoulders of giants.
