Compare how much money each company spent before the first/second/etc flight. The ENTIRE program has so far cost less than one set of SLS engines - that they took from older rocket…

SpaceX is inventing quite a lot, there's more areas where they started greenfield than where they got help.

Nope

No, all or the absolute majority of it burns around 50km.

If you have a dual SIM phone, try to swap your SIMs.

Almost a complete failure except for second ever caught first stage... BTW they first tested a redesigned version of Starship today.

Take a look into a pilot handbook, they are all written down there.

Yeah lol, who cares about this?

Please, this is a conversation, not math exam.

Oh no, Musk convinced the engineers it's possible. One of the interesting things about him.

I don't know how to put this if you don't see the difference yourself by now, but that's not an orbital rocket that could lift anything from Earth nor land back there. One huge pro…

Thank you, if he really said that he is one of the best players, that would be a lie. I don't think just streaming a leveled up account is a lie, though. Why do you talk about hour…

Wouldn't really consider that NewSpace. These are as old as space industry gets...

Apollo 11 had a three stage rocket and every stage was discarded. SpaceX is obviously not the first company to land something - but landing a rocket booster that just performed an …

I told you what didn't happen - the situation wasn't as clear as you say. Everybody in the space industry was absolutely sure he is totally crazy and it's impossible to do with an …

I'm trying to say that it doesn't cancel but that doesn't mean I won't listen.

Where does he lie about a video game? Maybe he has someone boost his level. Did he say it's not true? Just doing that can have many reasons - maybe he likes a shiny number there, w…

Well I heard it myself from practically anybody up until 2015. I even attended quite a lot of conference talks on this topic... I'm sure it's not hard to find it online, famously a…

Sorry but no, this is absolutely not what happened. I am watching it closely ever since SpaceX was founded in 2002. There is an incredible gap between the tech demo you're speaking…

I called him crazy myself (and I do think it's true), to illustrate that I am aware of his antics and it's not a reason to stop listening.

Sure, I'm not saying Musk is the only person who has interesting things to say about it. You're absolutely correct about these other people and I listen to them too. But you're not…

What other person started a rocket company from scratch and got them landing? Of course I want to hear everything he says. Yes, he's crazy - seems to be a requirement if you want t…

Who cares? It's what the indicator says, I don't need to visualize feet to do calculations and talk to the tower about them. If you can see a 1x1m tile from the cockpit, you're dea…

No, it doesn't. I'm European, never used imperial before I became a pilot, and it's easier. Check it out, the formulas are much simpler to do in your head. Intuition doesn't matter…
