Americans became pussies, even their rockets retreat
It is a 1940th again?
Disgusting.

that didn't go into space, this rocket did and survived in a useable state which is revolutionary.
Is this today's space thread?
This thread is confusing :DDD

stop supporting elon musk

It never went into space because NASA came to terms with the fact that VTOL rockets make no economic sense. The fact that it tipped over only sealed its fate.

Why is America so based at making aircraft/spacecraft?
>>52736209
We have sustained heavy investment in it for over 100 years. More than any other country.
No other country knows more about aerospace than the US.
>>52736209
Lots of money and the best engineers.
>>52733621
It's honestly pretty impressive what we managed to accomplish with such an awful vehicle.
Too bad nuclear rockets were killed or we could have been on mars 30 years ago.

SpaceX used NASA's and everyone else's innovations you retard

america leaves basic manufacturing to chinks and other third worlders while pioneering undeveloped tech in-house.
>>52736643
Doesn't SpaceX use engine tech that was developed originally for the cancelled venture star?
>yfw 55 years after the wright brothers first flight the US was testing jets that could fly at nearly Mach 7.

I don't know desu, but I just think you can't compare aerospace tech from the 60's to now
