I cant even begin to comprehend the engineering that goes into that. Its hard enough to make the rocket take off but to make it land again.

Thats crazy.


I love my country, but don't trust my government.

I hope to live long enough to see a manned mission to Mars

I was listening to one of the returning astronauts yesterday, and he was speaking about the sound of the thrusters of the SpaceX Dragon during reentry in order to keep the telemetry and orientation correct. I am amazed at the intelligence of some of our scientists and engineers.

That Elon Musk is a trip. I used to dislike him, and sort of still do. But I have to give him grudging respect for what he has accomplished. Let’s see what his next feat is. As long as it doesn’t involve my money or personal safety I’m content to sit back and watch.

He's different for sure he has done things that I like...i don't think his views would line up with most of ours tho and thats fine by me as long as he don't push em like everyone else does these days

They said the name Dragon was correct. Said it sounded like an animal and was a pretty rough ride.

Ask India if their moon lander felt gravity before going splat

At this point Mars is a one way trip, and we have no idea how anyone would live on another planet. You will start hearing much more on Gateway, and the human landing system. The goal is build and staff a base on the moon, learn to live and find ice. They know ice is on the moon, so once you find it you can make fuel. A ship could be built in space, fueled with ice from the moon, and go to Mars. This would also allow you to carry enough fuel to come back. Oh yeah it would be nice to find a way to stop the radiation that will be hammering the people onboard from such a long trip to Mars.

I don’t think guys in their 50s like me will see a Mars landing in our lifetimes.
Too many obstacles, too many dangers, too inhospitable, not enough reward.
As my daddy would say, “it’s too much butter for the duck.”

I think you could see it, but only if the money flows. If a budget could be in place and not changed with each administration, then yes it can happen. The best thing that could happen, and if it did you would have seen major jumps in tech, space ships etc. would be to find something of value, other then knowledge. It would be like the gold rush from many years back. I believe we will find something, but not in my lifetime.

My understanding is SpaceX will use proceeds from Starlink to finance their Mars endeavors.
