Belesarius Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Awwww. They lost stage 1 on landing. Sadpanda. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/743096769001578498 Edit: What blows my mind is that the telemetry data is so good that in less than an hour they know exactly what went wrong. And from the sound of it, they were already working on a fix before it even happened. Loss was caused by low thrust on one of the landing engines. Elon's saying it might be the hardest landing yet for them. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/743099301174247424 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 NASA has successfully thrown a probe at Jupiter and missed by the proper margin, achieving stable orbit of Jupiter. 5 years, 1.7 billion miles. Nice job NASA folks. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/NASAs_Juno_spacecraft_begins_bid_to_orbit_Jupiter_999.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belesarius Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 It isn't an achievement yet, but Elon is an ambitious bastard, if nothing else. I hope he pulls it off. Heck, if he can make the second stage of Falcon Heavy reusable... that would be pretty freaking cool. But naw... we gotta get ready to head to Mars. http://gizmodo.com/spacex-will-attempt-to-land-three-rockets-at-once-1783908606?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 A pretty decent condensed overview of NASA's Coffin for Seven Brothers: He quote Mike Griffin, not a personality I terribly care for, but in that instance I think he was right. If you want an idea of what continuing Apollo might have looked like, you can always check out Eyes Turned Skyward. Belesarius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
