Big success for Falcon Heavy and SpaceX. Even though the main core is lost, 2/3 cores recovered and a Roadster on the way to trans-mars orbit is a massive win in my book. SpaceX will learn and improve, a big day for space enthusiasts EDIT: Looking at Twitter apparently the central core missed the OCISTL drone ship and plunged into the ocean nearby, someone twitted that OCISTL was destroyed, hopefully, it wasn't.

Excited to see that the test flight went as well as it did. I would like to see this successful launch lead to a resurgence of space exploration and off world development agendas.
It's been rather disappointing to see how much expansion in that field has been left to the wayside in the past decades.
If putting that drive to expand out into space onto private industry is what it takes to get our butts back into space, I'm all for it.

Honestly, I still don't quite know how I feel about putting a car into space. I mean, Musk is brilliant, and he really, really, genuinely supports space exploration and funding NASA.
On the other hand, he's incredibly vain and I don't really like the idea of how this vanity project reeks of self-promotion. I support SpaceX, but man, I just do not like the idea of humanities first extra-lunar ventures being conducted with such pizzazz.
It doesn't help that Musk is basically as close as you can get to a real-life Bond villain.
But of course, Musk, SpaceX, and the private space industry as a whole, seem to be the only groups actually able to get a damned grip on space travel. I mean, Russia isn't really focused on anything beyond continuing to develop LEO technologies and capability, the Chinese can't figure out what they want to do, and NASA has some cool engines and nothing to strap them on. My fear is that somebody besides SpaceX or the other government contractors will go up and try to privatize space exploration. I really don't want to see that.

Stephen Hawking Warns Do Not Contact Aliens Or They Will Destroy Humanity. I just don't get why people like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are so afraid of aliens and AI respectively. Sure there's an inherent danger in dealing with such scenarios, but there is inherent danger in anything we do or discover. There was the real fear that we would ignite the atmosphere with the first atomic bomb detonation. We can very well introduce extra-terrestrial viruses or bacteria to our biosphere when ever we bring back samples from places like the Moon or Mars. Etc. Are we all supposed to just regress back to the stone age because anything else more complex than that will ultimately "Destroy Humanity"? We should be aware of the danger and take steps to avoid it of course, but just sticking our collective heads in the sand and ignoring the situation is not going to do anyone any favors if and when we actually do establish contact with an alien society or create an artificial intelligence.

It's just reactionary fear, in some cases. I think Hawking has some good points, and I don't think he's necessarily 'afraid' of aliens (beyond the existential fears.)

Terminator Force , this is a science thread, for science, not bullshit. For the record, a rocket-propulsion has the necessary combustible reaction mass contained within the launch system. It's the only reliable and practical means of controllable propulsion through a vacuum as of yet. If you knew physics and rocketry, this would be a no-brainer.

Combustion in space? And how can you have any propulsion if you have nothing to push against, that was the whole point of the video I showed.

Rockets don't require air to function - the fuel that is burned (internally) is pushed out one end, being the action, with the reaction being the propulsion of the spacecraft. Newton's Third Law for you.
You can observe a similar function on earth. Stand on a skateboard, grab a bowling ball, and throw it. You'll be pushed back a little.
Sir Newton was an intelligent fellow, to say the least.

Newton, Einstein and the rest, these aren't scientists. They never invent anything, nor can they even figure out what gravity even is. All they do is make up theories and the whole world props them up as the smartest. Meanwhile you have true geniuses like Nikola Tesla, the smartest known man who could speak at least 6 languages and plenty of his inventions still being used today. Yet Tesla's work/funds get suppressed and ends up dying penniless. Don't believe me. Start with Einsteins Idiots youtube series and then check out what some of the other non-mainstream scientists have to say about them. Even Einstein agrees with Tesla that he's an idiot. No matter to me, you can have pseudoscience thread to yourself. Go celebrate the clown show known as science today, a car in space. (What a joke)

Huh. So modern space flight is a clown show, eh?
Given the historical confirmations of Einstein's theory of relativity in practice (being a scientific theory and all, not like you totally misunderstood the meaning of that...,) I'd say that Einstein was most certainly correct beyond reasonable doubt, and that Tesla's reservations (which are paraphrased and skewed negatively in your quote compared to what he actually said) were unfounded.
But go on and dismiss modern rocketry as a clown show - I mean, clown show it could be, but it's still been quite successful at science, what with the hundreds of satellites and the moon shots and the interplanetary space probes and the space stations...

When all they do is perform various clown acts in space, what other conclusion is there.
Flipping in space, juggling fruit in space, sending cars in space. What's next, making an elephant disappear in space? This isn't science, it's clowning around.

Plus, I'm certain they also gathered rocks and grew plants up there too. That's science.

I started this topic and I am really truly fond of it. Is there any chance we could keep the trolling to a minimum? We've already had a topic that cast shade on outer space. It was closed. Perhaps we should learn from that?
Is there any word on the center booster? Is it recoverable?
