A huge historic event just happened today. Humans can now go to space 1000X cheaper than ever before

Yes. The test was to see if it could flip. The landing was only a bonus. It literally did better than expected. Even Musk said there was only a 1/3 chance of it even landing, let alone making it back intact.

>Corporations have reached space
Sad

The test was the bellyflop, not the landing.

But how heavy is the rocket? How much rocket fuel does it use, we're gonna be stuck on this rock once it all runs out

>Dead center of landing pad
nice

it exploded on landing faggot.

Brainlet.

see

>it was supposed to explode!
>it was a prototype!
>they will fix it later with a patch!
>I JUST WANT TO GO TO MARS!!

Our lives won't change very much. We'll still have wars, starvation etc I mean they'll get rich as fuck and won't be affected by any of it, but at least wallstreet will be strong.

>Space X just got billions in funding
>N-NOOOOO IT'S A FAILURE
lol

>all runs out
Look up what rocket fuel actually is.

>Space colonies
>Send the smartest into space
>Leave dumb dumbs on earth
>All the chads get to make a chad society on the moon and mars

>once it all runs out
it's going to be a few million years before that happens

>Send the most successful into space as these people will be able to pay their way in
>Colony full of psychopaths and sociopaths, who are disproportionately likely to be driven to become members of the ultra-rich
>Remaining ultra-rich just inherited it and are useful idiots
>Colonies quickly become a series of cliques led by psychopaths

Actual coping. To get that low of a price you would have to build a space elevator.

Or a Starship like Elon just did. It already has those prices.

China is winning again

Falcon 9 needs a month between flights. Starship will be able to fly the same day.

Falcon 9 is now $2,720 per kg.

Elite dangerous is pretty good. I've been playing it off and on since it came out. Its not for casuals though. It also convinced me that we will never visit other stars, space is HUGE.

the reason people larp about China being all insect people who can't invent anything is pure cope, because that is the only conceivable thing preventing them from eclipsing America not just economically (that ship has sailed) but politically, and eventually even militarily in terms of global influence.
This is literally the Chinese Century, and the only thing people can come up with to deny it is genetic predetermination (which, if it were true, would have destroyed the Chinese civilization long ago).

Thoughts on this cringe?

That was always expected, that was always inevitable.

Like basically everything Elon says and does it's marketing for normalfags.

idk how many people actually read hitchikers guide who spout this meme
so many funning gags and jokes that are funnier in that series

lol. Butthurt bugman

How? Their launches cost far more even if you count how cheap their labor is

you are in a threada bout a Chinese rocket launching off
you have lost this argument

god, that dude sucks

>American Rocket is now a chinese one
Yep, chinese steal everything, even accomplishments they didn't do. They are the original KANGS

>Starship is chinese
Are these the lies the CCP is pushing now?

The majority of hate against the Chinese are mostly Americans. It's because the entire western part of the USA was built on Chinese and Mexican labor and Americans have spent decades trying to hide that fact through deporting them and treating them like trash. They literally can't cope that non whites did something productive and desperately try to damage control it.

this we were the founding fathers as well we also are the native american indians as well and we even went there before those indians

I am a spacelet, why is this test so significant?

this is made uo

Kerbal Space program is the only worthwhile rocket building game. Maybe Orbiter if you wish you worked at NASA

A single rocket could be afforded by 100 people doing loans I believe.

Cool.
How many thousands does it cost now?

>Can buy a used car to get you around town and be actually useful
>Or you can fly up really high in the air and then come down
Wooooooooow sounds like money well spent for the average person!

see and

>It's the difference between a rocket that costs 4 billion per launch for 10 tons to mars one time and a rocket that costs 10 million (0.1 billion) per launch of 100 tons to anywhere in the solar system and can be reused 100 times.
>It improves the cost of space access by three orders of magnitude, literally a thousand times cheaper, more than that.
>A 1000% (at least) reduction in cost.
>To give you a perspective of how much this will change things, a 15% change in the price of oil caused disruptive technologicall revolutions that changed all technology forever.
