Sorry scuba I was wrong on that. I was feed fake news. By a huge space nurd that today was Von Braun's birthday. Well it is not till march. It is spacex 11th birthday.

You had me going there for a bit not knowing my history

That was sweet. The rumble was immense. Felt good to see a big rocket again.

Me to. I was talking to a real space but and he is hardly ever wrong on that kind of stuff. Spacex does have a room in honor of Von Braun. Just wonder if spacex is his old business.

Isn't it strange how a private person / company can kick of a mars program that hardly anyone thought was possible with next to no cost overruns and pretty much on time with its self imposed schedule.

Michael, LOL at the "42". Somehow I figured you'd know that! Did you see the bumper sticker on the car "So long and thanks for all the fish"...My understanding is there was actually a towel in the glove box with a copy of the Hitchhikers Guide...

As you said, "Just cool on so many levels"

The launch was awesome, the crowd sure was into it. Love the car idea.

It's pretty cool either way you look at it.

Not that I'm against science and research, but I can think of many better ways to waste your money. Now we have only thrown more space junk out there, sad that money could not have been used for medical research or something to really benefit mankind.

"We" Did no such thing. Elon Musk can spend his money however he sees fit. Many people seem to forget that this was financed by a private person. Not our tax dollar.

42 made my day

Fisherman this is research, pure research. Not rehashing something old. Our worlds future rides on those things. Same as Columbus going to the indies, just that America got in the way
