Big alien believer, but im not arguing about their existence. Iv always asked ppl : why does it seem that scientists and others searching for et life never talk about or take into account the lag time we see from earth to any planet. IT takes 8 minutes for the suns light to hit our eyes, so it would take insurmountably longer if it was coming from any other solar system. Theres a good chance we have SEEN a planet that harbors life, but the lag takes so long that when we see it, it was possibly from before they had technology and life on that planet was primitive. But no scientist ever seems to talk about this, not on any documentary ive seen debunking OR supporting life, and i fucking live alien documentaries
Why do people thumbs down knowledge ?
The deployment was a success however the vertical landing on the ship was not. Per Elon Musk: "However, that was not what prevented it being good. Touchdown speed was ok, but a leg lockout didn't latch, so it tipped over after landing." Source: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/688816554306191360
SpaceX fangirls are all over youtube with their whining.
Anyway. I do hope SpaceX makes the landing on that floating boat. But I'll give them credit when they actually successfully do it(not to mention that they have to redo it with exactly the same first stage rocket again and again).
when they said january 17th, I x'd everything out and turned on the live stream
It was just 3:30 minutes before launch, when I heard of this second SpaceX start :D
So why can't they just use parachutes to recover the falcon 9 booster and why do they have to land it in the ocean? Can't u just time space flights so that u always can land on land?
Rockets going into orbit then coming back to Earth then landing in the manner that is the reverse of taking off, i.e. 1950s science fiction rockets, wow, maybe the jetpack is not that far away anymore?
can you guys make an video on a leap year in a simple and easy way?…
i like you
It crashed. RIP
Professor Tournesol (or Calculus in English) had already figured out how to do a vertical landing before Neil Armstrong did his famous step. I guess he is a forgotten genius.
What if SpaceX were to put thrusters on the drone ship too?
can u explain more about nemesis?the sun evil twin
