[NF] Anyone watch the liftoff yesterday?

[Stephen Russell]

I loved all the Bowie in the end. It made the mood feel "right" watching
it float in space.

I'm sorry I missed it. I heard he put a Tesla Roadster on the sucker -
with a dummy he called Starman. I guessed he liked that old movie from
years ago! Too bad I didn't watch the launch. I actually recently
finished reading the bio on Elon - and it was an AMAZING Read! Its so
wild - some almost reads like fiction. I seriously suggest some folks
here should read that book!!! Its by Ashlee Vance.

This morning someone posted a meme of the car getting a speeding ticket
from a laser speed trap.

I was most amazed at the precision of the boosters landing spot on, upon
their targets.

Don't ever buy a used Tesla from Elon. It's been to the moon and back!

The main body was lost. ... I wonder whether they would recover it. as
it should be quite expensive to make a new one.

Absolutely amazing! For once it was at a good time for me in the UK, about 8pm.
Watching the 2 boosters glide back down was jaw dropping.

Did you spot the DON'T PANIC? Apparently there was a copy of the book
and a towel in there too.
Shame David & Douglas are no longer with us, I'm sure they would have
both loved it.

Never mind the lift-off, I've watched the boosters coming back in at MACH 4 or 5 to land perfectly vertically about 100 times and I *still* don't believe what I'm seeing.

If nothing else this is a chance for humanity to marvel at what we can achieve and a reminder that we don't have to be shooting the arses off each other the whole time.

I am guessing that the main booster didn't hit the mark and that is why we
never see it. But going to strike a point, ship bed, at sea was asking a
lot I thought.

So True Alan! If you read the Bio book I mentioned - its ALL discussed
in there. Elon's big plans of making reusable rocket engines - and the
HELL he went thru to make it work. That's why the book is such an
Incredible READ! Also, in the book - it mentioned how Elon actually met
"Tony" in the Marvel movie - so, yeah - Elon had a cameo in the movie!

I have a similar one with the actor in upper frame and the car as the actor
in the lower one, on my office door. I had to explain it to two people
this morning. they just looked at it and had the puzzled look on their
faces.

[Jean MAURICE]

it was surprising to hear Bowie in the space. I think it's the best improvment
made by Mr Musk : allowing sound waves travelling through the 'vacuum' ;-)
