SpaceX, that highly unsuccessful company, right?
Your blind spot here is pretty jarring
Their tech is impressive to say the least. This is also a launch that was promised by the second half of 2013, and it's their first launch and upcoming first static fire of all 27 rockets. Expecting it to have a problem is fair.

Wtf mentioned something about the cost of Oil? Are y’all thinking Tesla bankrolls SpaceX? The cost of fuel is a tiny part of the cost of putting people and payloads into Space.
Musk’s contention was that shoes, bicycles, cars and even airplanes are reusable. Rockets weren’t. If he could change that, his cost of operation would be so much lower he’d spark a Renaissance in space travel and one of his visions for the world is that we should be a spacefaring people. The work he’s done with SpaceX to prove the concept of remote landing and reusable rocketry lowering the cost of and enabling huge market share gains (read: mass scale disruption) in the...well...space space has been vindicated.
It’s a lot like Tesla. He viewed an electric automobile future as an economic inevitability. His hope was to hasten the arrival of the inevitability. He also knows that even if he grabs marketspace or share in space exploration and/or payload work to Low Earth Orbit others may innovate past him. In the meantime he’s made money and proved the efficacy of his points while hopefully hastening yet another economic inevitability.
He’s a smart, systems level thinker that has large scale vision and no fear of failure. He’s been right on a lot of what some folks think are gambles. But...he views them differently obviously.
I’m a huge fan.

Me. He’s playing out a stupid fricking shtick entirely too long.

I think the schticks peak when people start getting triggered by them

Did this happen at 3 in the afternoon?

I’m praying for you.

Musk is a con man and a criminal but the lemmings just lick his nuts.

Please elaborate.

YOu said pretty directly things just don't go well for SpaceX.
They're a pretty darn successful company.

Can't wait to hear the reasoning behind this
Posted on 12/29/17 at 12:38 pm to DavidTheGnome
But how much horsepower does it have??
Posted on 12/29/17 at 12:52 pm to DavidTheGnome
I can’t wait for this launch. I live an hour away and will certainly make the trip for this launch.
Posted on 12/29/17 at 12:53 pm to LSUwag
When the launch?
Posted on 12/29/17 at 12:53 pm to LSUwag
I'd love to hear it when it goes up
Posted on 12/29/17 at 12:58 pm to DavidTheGnome
Does the rocket have truck nuts?
Posted on 12/29/17 at 12:59 pm to LewDawg
Has it exploded yet?
