  3. Liked the way the boosters came down again, flipped their legs out and landed. Bloody impressive.

  4. I was impressed with Elon before but even more so now, how many Billionaires actually do something significant with their money, he may never make a profit from his endeavours but him and his team are shaping the future...:thumbsup:

  5. Likewise. Thought it was gonna be the usual NASA parachute into the briney and then we get Thunderbirds. Wasn't on the news but the footage of the middle rocket opening the landing gear and performing a 're entry deceleration burn was spectacular. Took me back to being a kid watching the first Shuttle launch. Tap up the footage, it's a must see. Turn down the volume if you don't like constantly whooping colonials.

  6. $90 million, I know it's relative but that is less than a good Euro millions pay out.
     
  7. Was exactly like Thunderbirds!

    Will look up the footage. Didn’t the middle booster crash into the barge?
     
  8. Only heard that there had been
    2 perfect landings. Been too busy to check up

    Ran out of fuel for the brake boosters and hit the sea at 300mph a way off the barge!

  11. This amused me
     
  12. Awesome!
    Think Musk and Branson are friends or rivals?
     
  13. Very little impresses me these days but that did. As said, just like thunderbirds, but without the strings :thumbsup:
     
  14. I believe Richard has a better collection of jumpers...

  15. They've had a few "Rapid Unscheduled Disassemblies". At least Spacex can take the pee out of themselves...

  16. I think eventually the batteries will run out :(. Gather there was a bit of a cock-up with trajectories, and he's heading off to outer space...

    I heard he was heading for Van Allen's Suspender Belt. What that's doing in outer space is anyone's guess!
     
  18. Eddie Van Allen?
