welshbairn Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If I was sitting there in a proven autonomously capable space taxi for about 4 hours already before take off, I'd be demanding some porn or something on the screens. Discovery Channel would do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Game's aff. How they couldn't have called it earlier using a local ref before all the fans travelled, I will never know. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Aborted. f**k sake weather. Should have launched it from Dundee this afternoon. Sun was splitting the skies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Looked fine over Florida, scrubbed in case they bottled it over Dundee imo. You wouldn't want to emergency land down there with fancy new space suits. Saturday 8.20 pm next attempt.

Humbug. Russians have maintained space capabilities while america turned its back. The fact they defunded NASA and gave the money to a company led by a deluded arsehole is not worthy of praise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Watched the NASA stream and love how everyone involved was quite low key before launch, then once it was up in space... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 When you look at how much Boeing and Space X have been funded by NASA i think boeing had something like 3 times the budget from NASA that Space X had and they still havent achieved a launch or successful one at least. The sad thing is as soon as some f*cker touches the moon watch the same shit happen on the moon as down here between the US and Russia/China 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not keen on the LAUNCH AMERICA logo, and Musk taking the red pill, and all the other shite with Covid, but hopefully that's to do with getting Trump to pump more money into the fantasy 2024 moon landing for him to hive off to stuff like the Starship. Landing and reusing the first stage rockets is a big step up from Soyuz, and a lot more entertaining. And the mainly failed attempts to catch the nose cone halves on giant nets on ships. Hopefully he sells off Tesla for squillions and concentrates on space based entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
