No, it's the engines that cost a fortune, the Falcon 9 has 10 of these incredibly complex pieces of engineering on it, landing the first stage means 9 of them can be reused.
>>70385403
They're flammable...
Seriously though, the forces involved would probably destroy a parachute. Even landing pods equipped with parachutes still used rockets to slow down.

Yeah, but you are paying for the engineering, not the metal. I would imagine the rare metals are only used in very small amount in important engine elements in an alloy, so I'm trying to figure out how much this helps humanity.
I mean, until we have a reason to make constant trips back and forth from the moon (or space in gen.), this tech isnt too useful, other than lowering the cost.
I assume the plan is to think about space mining next, now that we have reusable rockets. But boy, thats probably gonna be 1000 times harder to figure out how to automate.
Imagine landing a rocket with tons of ore loaded up. Not to mention you'll have to land twice, or use two rockets that meet in a space station.
A lot to think about, really.

Do you think they're going to melt the thing down or what? They're going to reuse the entire state on another launch, saving millions of dollars.
> this tech isnt too useful, other than lowering the cost.
Yeah making something incredibly expensive cheaper isn't useful at all.

>>70386169
Money is just paper, guy.
The Earth has a lot more metal than we can use up, and the engineers should want to make more money, and hence not make reusable rockets, hence they should be considering moving forward as I was talking about, ie space mining, space tourism, etc
But as regards space tourism, good look finding enough millionaires willing to risk their lives on an unproven technology to make up the loss in profits you forced by making your own product cheaper without a reason to use it.
>>70385598
Thanks again Italy. I got some more from NASA and the ISS too. I've been following them for a while now. They do regular Q&A's from the space station if your interested.

But they don't make any more money per launch you utter mong. Did you mother drop you as a child? The profit margin on a launch will remain the same, this lets SpaceX slash their costs and so slash prices. Thus they gain as they're cheaper than their competitors and should win more launch contracts.
>>70386592
I'm sure I'm Whiter than you, Schlomo Datravious Martinez. You really need to stop patting yourselves on the back for a welfare whore landing a century old antiquated device.
Space is truly the future. Once we harness the ability to cheaply utilize space resources, the sky is the limit for human potential. Just hope we don't kill ourselves off before that happens.
>>70386711
You guys wouldn't do very well in business.
The rocket industry companies make a shitload of money because the governments have to pay them for every new rocket, funded by tax payer money.
If they make the product cheaper, without making a good reason for governments to fund rocket use more, they are going to fuck themselves over.
Thats why I assumed SpaceX doesn't get the contracts to make new rockets from the government now, and worked on this technology to offer a lower price and win the contracts.
>>70386780

>>70387425
Until we find out how to harvest materials in space and use these rockets to collect and bring them back, there is no purpose other than SpaceX becoming a successful company.
And finding this use is 1,000 times the challenge.
This is a baby step, not to say it isnt incredibly impressive, but its a baby step in the grand scope of things.
>>70387310
Dunno, aliumz would probably have plenty of reasons for interacting with humans, like trade. Even if they have an interstellar civilization, if we're a hundred light years away from it its going to be orders of magnitude better to import workers from Earth for solar system work projects than it is to recruit workers from, say, Alpha Centauri.

You're not a sub-alien, faggot. You're a virus compared to a space-faring creature. Again, you FAR overestimate your place in the universe. You can't even make it to your own fucking moon. They can leave their solar system. The fact you don't comprehend how immense the difference is there only further illustrates my point.

>>70387648
>Dunno, aliumz would probably have plenty of reasons for interacting with humans, like trade.
Again, do humans trade with anything on THIS planet? Or do they just take what they want? Yet again, boy I'm getting tired of repeating myself here, YOU ARE NOT 1/2 a step below a creature that has interstellar capabilities. You don't even fucking register as alive to it.

>>70388254
Yes, but I imagine resource harvesting, if we ever get there as a species, would involve multiple of these rockets making trips every day.
Well, I guess it will now be possible for people to recreationalize satellites.
>>70388412
>I have seen them move in ways impossible for human craft.
So you assume. Did you meet the occupants? This is fucking 2016, not 1935. We SHOULD have that sort of craft by now. The only ones who do, however, are black projects, because humans are fucking cancer.

Other companies are locked into their current designs which aren't built around recovery. Ariane V for example drops its main stage too high and late to be recoverable easily and when you reuse solid boosters you basically make them from scratch anyway.
Only problem the US has is that it still uses the imperial system.
It would be a 10/10 country if they solve their social issues and made their education stop using common core.

>Again, do humans trade with anything on THIS planet?
As far as other species are concerned, to the limits that they are able to cooperate with us, which is not much. But from the perspective of some livestock (say, ostriches, not so much chickens) and certainly from the evolutionary perspective, we do.
>YOU ARE NOT 1/2 a step below a creature that has interstellar capabilities. You don't even fucking register as alive to it.
So your argument is that sufficient levels of intelligence wraps around and makes aliumz too fucking retarded to talk to humans? Nah. Also, being able to travel between solar systems doesn't necessarily mean you're super star trek land with a post-scarcity economy.
>An interstellar species will use human-tier (and bad ones at that) labor and economic principles
So your theory is, what, because you can get a ship from one solar system to another (possibly as small as a one 'man' vessel that takes hundreds of years of suspended animation) you can automatically carry bajillions of robots within your cargo bay? Or do you envision nanodust that you can sprinkle on the ground and it makes robot armies pop up? Or what?
If aliens want any amount of solar system resources, its probably going to be easiest, by far, to utilize local labor, period.
You don't seem to really understand how distant two solar systems are, how much work it is to get from one to the other, and so forth. If exploiting resources from other solar systems is at all feasible then its going to be sending small ships and getting locals to send back a fleet of cargo ships back. Unbelievably more profitable than sending all your equipment there AND back.
It's not about better or worse, we rule.
It is an empire, in the sense of G.B or Rome. It is looking like we are hitting the evening of that dominance, so it's not really something to get worked up about.

>So your argument is that sufficient levels of intelligence wraps around and makes aliumz too fucking retarded to talk to humans?
I think it's truly hilarious that you arrogant, yet retarded little shits are too vapid to even be capable of conceiving that you're not only not king shit of the universe, you don't even register.

Once again, proving how stupid you are. Talk big shit when you get ONE human on the next planet over.

They don't NEED your labor, retard. Any species that can travel between stars is almost certain to have more sophisticated means of resource acquisition than "make man pick up shit and carry it". You're dealing with a special form of retardation, aren't you? Is your IQ even triple digit?
>>70388908

>>70388580
So craft from incredibly far away moving at incredibly high speeds in loops and corkscrews, straight up, down, left and right, and then take off are human? Literal hovering flying saucers in broad daylight are human?
I see you also totally ignored the analogy to creatures on the moon/undersea because it blatantly disproves your retarded closeminded ideals. If we found aliens or other creatures that were intelligent, but much less so than us, it would still be considered one of the greatest discoveries of all time and we would try to communicate with them and study them. We already try to communicate with monkeys and dolphins.

Also this.
>>70388254
There were 94 space launches worldwide in 2014
>>70388594
If you can reduce the turnaround time of using these rockets, they could basically be run like commuter trains are nowadays. If you have enough of them built you could be fueling one as you are launching one. It would be like jumping on the 10:30 from New York to Boston.

Not at all. Humans interact with animals to the best of their ability to understand, which is very little.
Its weird how you can't make up your mind whether ETs would be mentally superior or inferior to humans. How do interstellar visitors manage all that while being too stupid to communicate with people?
>that you're not only not king shit of the universe, you don't even register.
Your faith based beliefs are touching, yet irrelevant. There's as many reasons to think we're the most advanced sapient species in the galaxy as the least. As far as we know we're the only, and there appears to be no proof of sprawling interstellar civilization anywhere, no stray communications, etcetera.
>They don't NEED your labor, retard.
Of course they would.
>Any species that can travel between stars is almost certain to have more sophisticated means of resource acquisition
Faith based assertion that interstellar travel ->Startrekville I see. Being able to send a rocket ship that can enter stasis and survive for centuries does not mean they are able to fire harvesting beams to drain away oceans through portals and shit or whatever you're thinking of.
Your thinking has been damaged by science fiction and not enough science fact.
>>70389257

He's saying they wouldn't give a flying fuck about us, we'd be like rats or ants to them and they'd just ignore us and do what they want. Just like how we often treat animals you know.
>>70389555
technically yes.
BUT, there will have to be major changes needed to be made to account for different atmospheric conditions and gravity

Should be easier to land on the moon and smaller than earth planets
, since lower gravity would mean less chance of damage should the thrusters not overcome the gravitational acceleration perfectly.
But yeah I guess some planets have constant violent storms that would make this real hard given current design.

That would be a mark of alien stupidity, not intelligence, though. That's the problem with these analogies, they can't decide whether aliens are retards or more intelligent. If people found, say, a weird squirrel that could talk and was banging sticks together to make fire the world would flip its shit.
And don't tell me that if in 2050 we were able to send a small ship in stasis to Alpha Centauri, then suddenly 2050 humans would be so far past 2016 humans that we're below squirrels that can make fire.

Not even comparable since metric units are base 10 and it's easy to swap between different scales. 185cm just sounds better than 1.85m
