Admit you're wrong and you're sorry, muriclap.
Everything at SpaceX is designed/built in the metric system. They don't use the primitive imperial system, they are modern and forward thinking. It's basically Americans emulating europeans.
>>52017325
literally all americans both learn and use the metric system, its just not standard
we use both the imperial system and the metric system on a daily basis, we have gallons of gas and miles driven to work, but everything i do at my job is in the metric system, my mom bakes using the metric system, the build diagram for my 22 year old car is in the metric system, and when it needs to be repaired i use the metric system
>perpetuating the dumb american imperial system meme
>>52017290
wow you landed a jet congrats

>Americans are smart enough to use two different types of measurement system in daily life
>Euros can't
>>52017290
Daily reminder that the Rosetta mission was the ESA work.
Can someone explain why they need to vertically land these things? Aside from it looking neat.
>>52017422
how else would they land?
>>52017422
it doesnt have rockets on the sides of it to slow it down
>>52017426
Parachute / which ever way it hits the earth.
>>52017394
Wasn't that the mission where a guy with a really cool shirt made by his female friend was driven to tearful apology by feminists?
>>52017437
Parachutes couldn't be used because they weight too much.
>>52017290
Well done you can land on earth
But can you land on a comet?
>>52017394
>Can't even land on an asteroid properly with modern technology
>Landed on the moon with slide rules
...isn't musk an afrikaner?
>>52017437
but then they have to flip it back over to re-use it anyway, and landing on its side might cause damage
i think having it land standing up is just the best option for ease of review, repair and reuse
>>52017383
>Euros are smart. They don't waste their time by learning an unnecessary system, when theirs is far superior.
>Euros speak at least two languages
>amerifats struggle with their own language. tbqh familia

Yes, it was.

europeons are trash, tbqh f a m
>>52017455
What's the point of landing on the moon except increasing e-penis points and wasting extreme amount of money?
And you're pretty much comparing two completely different missions. Travelling to the asteroid took 10 years, not two days.
>>52017383
how can the average stupid fuck handle both systems when even the NASA struggles with it?
>>52017290
We are still better.
To all the yuropoors ITT: come back when your country's relevant.
>>52017523
we learned quite alot about how the moon worked over the course of the missions to the moon, it helped with understanding extraterrestrial surfaces in general, the principles of gravity based on size and scale, and how the moon affects the tides
also, we went not once, but 6 times
>>52017494
>Euros speak at least two languages
english and arabic?
>>52017453
Stardust returned comet tail samples. I think NASA has only done asteroid landings though. Anyways SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are non government. These guys are the future for space exploration, I think.
>>52017683
hello reddit
>>52017494
Well here in Florida majority of us have to speak 2 languages

Nice comeback, stinky yuropoor.

Wasn't that the mission where the probe only had a lifespan measured in hours rather than months because euroc.ucks were afraid of muh nuclear boogeyman?
>>52018147
No they haven't
>>52017523
>Hurrr what's the point of exploration
please, if you fucking euros weren't too busy getting cucked by your communist bullshit and made it to the moon first you'd be totally wagging your dicks in the air. We did it, you didn't, suck a dick losers.
>>52018243
What black men? Sand niggers maybe
>>52018281
This graph is wrong. It actually burned ALL the way back to the launch site. (landing pad was like 1 mile away).

It's probably gonna blow up on the next launch anyway, these things have too many failure points to be recyclable

I didn't teach'd it, and the states 'round mine din't learn it neither. I just get a boner from the feeling of being able to absolutely fucking erase every euro nigger loving faggot shithole on the planet without batting an eye, and still having time for evening BBQ and beer. There are countries that use the metric system, then there are countries that have been to the moon without being a little bitch about what measurement system was used. Go and die of AIDS in your libtard social healthcare system. I'll suffer over here with my real fuckin money, BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH

>>52024140
>miscalculated landing
No, the propellant for the harpoons malfunctioned, so they never fired as intended.
>>52017437
Landing on a planet/moon/asteroid with little to no atmosphere.
>>52021615
All the fat retards think that they have anything to say where the missiles land. You don't, you have zero power over anything except your refridgerator. You also have less freedom than many European countries. You aren't allowed to decide if NSA gets all your personal information. Companies had to make servers in Europe so the information wouldn't travel to US but stays in Europe.
Now go kill yourself you retard hillbilly.
Lets be honest.
We know who had the best space programme.
USA n EURO aint got shit on it!
>>52029335
i still dont know how commies did it
they were literally bankrupt and their people believed all of their lies about having a better life
>>52029371
They were well fed and had homes. That's all it takes to get certain people to perform. Also you can be sure that people working for the space program loved better than doctors or construction workers in another field/location.
>>52029497
You're forgetting prisons for scientists.

What, landing?
Yea, that's clearly preferable to putting hundreds of satellites into their exact orbits with a really good record of successes to failures.
Come on, let's stop this Euro-Murrica shitflinging, it's getting boring. Be glad that together we're superior to the chinese/pooinloos of this world
>>52029647
Nah, that kind of a circle jerk is useless. Better criticize what sucks.
>>52029692
Chinese/pooinloos do suck pretty hard, even russia/slavs laugh at them.
>>52020589
And there is at least one space probe what was lost because of imperial/metric conversion.
Get fucked.
>>52019314
>not being Nationalistic
