fpbp good sir *tips fedora*
If SpaceX reuses those rockets they landed previously, elon musk will single handedly destroy Poo in the loos, Canadas, ULA space program

Is there any evidence that Elon Musk is a cuck? I want to know if he will put diversity quotas in space.

idk man, i can see some mandatory improvements....

>>75321557
Okay, fuck, that's impressive.
>>75317213
Yeah space great whatever but how much does this cost? What is this costing? What are we paying for this kind of thing? Just how much exactly does this cost?
>>75317213
All is going according to plan.
>>75322206
Far less than building every rocket from scratch.
>>75322055
Nah, the guy's basically for straight-meritocracy
>>75322311
HInt: How many non-white people are there in this picture?
>>75322206
Well considering SpaceX is a private company it doesn't cost you anything.
>>75322206
Kill yourself.
>>75322055
wasn't he just cucked by his exwife or something? she took half of this great man's money
as such, i think he is just pure futurism and doesn't give a fuck about diversity...
>>75322344
I can see about 5-10 black/mixed and a bunch that could be some other race
>>75319057
That's the milestone I'm waiting for. The landing is cool and all, but the point is to be able to reuse the rockets, which hasn't happened yet.

its just a shitty one time use space ship, at least they could fight to end hunger instead of blasting off into space

GAVE PROOF
NASA should be defunded and shut down, the private industry has done in 3 years, what nasa could not do in 30.
Complete waste of taxpayer dollars.
>>75322490
Well, he's from SA, There's gonna' be a few non whites lingering about.
>>75322531
>fight world hunger
>implying niggers wouldnt find a way to exploit that too
lets just build our spaceships and get the fuck out of here, away from the sub-humans
Are they even reusing the rockets or is it just for a show?

There will always be hungry niggers. And unless we advance in space those hungry niggers are going to grow ever more hungry on dwindling finite resources.

once they come back, they scrap them for parts for the next mission
>>75322531
m8, you could put warheads in there,drop them on africa, and return the rocket to load it with more warheads to send it again.
you're a moron if you can't see how this makes ethnic cleansing cheaper.
OH SAY DOES THAT STAR SPANGLED
BANNER YET WAAAAAAAAAAAVE
>>75322764
FOR THE LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND OF THE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>75322620
Nah, NASA should just shift roles. More deep space science for now.
>>75322531
Yeah, they should put warheads in the fucking rockets and carpet bomb africa.

>>75322759
Fucking hell.
WHY IS /POL/ NOT INTENT ON THIS?!
>>75321557
Why did the rocket bend to the right slightly?
>>75323940
Because it's taken from a 360 degree camera.

>>75324038
Wouldnt that be more like a 315° camera if it was pointing right?

Because if shit goes belly up they'll bomb the earth and flee to "heaven" temporarily.

>vacations to space will happen in your lifetime thanks to the free market
>>75322075
It's within the circle, so it should be fine.
It's hard to see the angle of the barge. The rocket could be compensating for waves and winds.
>>75324413
To think in december, SpaceX will try to land three of those rocket at once when they use the heavy Falcon rockets configuration to launch a US military satelite into deep orbit.
