The future has arrived
 

Check this out... The Falcon 9 landing yesterday..... Tell me that is not bad ass.

So fucking cool! Strength over time = power. Another success by Mr. Musk :thumbsup

It never ceases to amaze me how clever some humans are.

Fucking awesome!!

The only reason to bring rockets back, is to bring people in them back.

The only reason to send people into space is to make it more human. The future in space travel is for robots only.

The future in space is human/machine cyborgs (not the evil sci-fi type).

NO

the British government are passing the bills this week to create space ports all around Britain for commercial flights to space by 2020...

only 3 yrs away!

Brits could be flying in space by 2020 as government unveils plan to build space ports in the UK - Mirror Online

Cool, but is it really economically profitable? To me it looks like a reusable gun shell.

Putin is so behind on this technology. I bet he tried and failed to steal the technology many, many, many times! :1orglaugh

When Putin doesn't steal knowledge this is the best technology he can do, cutting edge technology for Putin but in America is technology of a 20 year old toy:

The distance from where this is shot is quite suspicious ...

Impressive.
But there will be space docks in orbit.
That rocket might evolve into a shuttle vehicle to the space docks.

wow amazing robots/.....

Yet they can still manage to get a total fuckwit to become the most powerful man on earth.

Everyone has their gifts & weaknesses

How is my question related to him? Man, you really make me boring with your Putin. Merry him already and stop posing your obsessed bullshit here.

In America you still can't send a human to the outer space. Even Curiosity was sent to Mars by Russian rocket engines.

А гворил, что по-русски постить не будешь ;)

Wrong. It's a picture, it's not a thread.

I couldn't agree more. I am a huge fan of the Apollo program that got man to the moon, and I look at the technology and it's stunning that we made it. We went through a huge gain in technology in the past twenty years and it's just amazing - I typing this out on a small tablet with a wireless keyboard and mouse - and the next twenty years will only get much, much better.

It's entirely possible that our grand children will be taking vacations in space.

that was impressive

never seen this before

Wow so freaking cool. Congrats to Space X and Elon Musk!


Come on man...

SpaceX successfully lands its third Falcon 9 rocket on solid ground - The Verge

Hey Rochard, in case you have never been, you should treat yourself to a day at Nasa in Florida. What you really want to see, is the 4-hour extended tour of the original launch sites, bunkers, and especially computers.

It's completely fascinating. It's not expensive, and there are maybe only 10 people on the tour. You get to touch the computers and flip switches and ask all the questions you want. Being there in the actual rooms where all this shit was going down, is incredible. You'd love it.

And from a business point...just think that the internet is still in it's first stages - it's really only 20 years old (yes I know...ARPA etc...fuck that) ... what will it look like 10 years from now...and more important...are we poised to take advantage of it from our marketers viewpoint? :pimp

Thanks man! I already wanted to ask WHAT? CGI??
So many conspiracy theories these days.
Can't know what to believe...

I would love to do that....

Funny how when SpaceX blows up and fails Putin propaganda says it's real. When SpaceX succeeds, it "might be fake" Putin disinformation

Go!

I would say take your wife and kids, but its a slow moving tour so they probably would not appreciate it as much. I went by myself. (Yeah, Nerd, fuckit). One of the computers had what I will call "sleeves" that were about 2 feet long, thin, and attached by thumb screws. I asked if I could open one just to look inside and to my complete surprise he said "sure, why not, don't break it". So I did, and inside, all of the components were WIRE-WRAPPED. Not soldered, just wire-wrapped. I couldn't believe it.

truly believe in this :thumbsup

That sounds amazing...

По опросам ВЦИОМ-а (это путинская контора), только 20% россиян хотят присоединения Донбасса к России. И это после адской пропаганды на ТВ. Короче, даже согласно официальным источникам, подавляющему большинству людей тут совершенно похуй на то, что происходит на Украине. Телевизор пытается разжигать, но у людей уже иммунитет выработался - старая заезженная тема никого не прет больше. Вангую, что еще годик и Украина для среднестатистического россиянина будет чем-то вроде Монголии. Есть такая страна где-то на границе, но что там и кто там - всем насрать.
