SpaceX just took a big step toward reusing Starship’s Super Heavy booster

What you did do was try to minimize the progress SpaceX is making. It’s really been nothing short of amazing.

All of us want amazing space exploration. We want to know if there's life elsewhere or if we're alone. And not only in our neck of the woods.

But some of the things that people celebrate about SpaceX are baffling. We've all watched rockets launch successfully and we've all seen splashdowns successfully since we were little kids. We've seen explosions since we were little kids. We even watched space shuttles bring astronauts back to Earth (with a lot of waste of course). We've watched the lunar landings and astronauts plant flags on the moon. Currently, Voyager 1 and 2 are in interstellar space.

The more advanced things that SpaceX, or the other countries, are doing are exciting but it just feels like SpaceX kind of started from scratch (albeit with completely redesigned crafts that have completely different functions and completely different missions). Using what NASA (and other countries) had already known of course.

I guess some of us just thought we would be further along by now, given the advancements in technology and computers, and are just waiting and watching for the giant leap. When it comes it will be amazing.

I don't care if it's NASA, SpaceX, or Whomever, we need someone to invent Warp drive. 😁

Sorry, but SpaceX has accomplished things NASA has only dreamed about. Ignoring their accomplishments because of your hatred of one individual isn’t the good look that you obviously feel that it is.

SpaceX has landed people on the Moon? :ROFLMAO:
 
Well it's good they are making progress, hopefully they don't blow this one up.

You talked about SpaceX's "accomplishments." Who's lying here? :)

Quote where I said they’ve landed on the moon. If not, then we can agree you just lied about it.

My what short memories we have! Let's look at the post log, shall we?

If you recall your middle school history, you will remember that NASA landed a man on the Moon in 1969.

You, not me, talked of "accomplishing things NASA has only dreamed about." The Moon landing is NASA's signature event, again, as you learned in middle school.

Looks like you let your simping for Musk get the better of you. ;)

Gotcha, so we’re agreed you lied. Thanks.

It should be noted that SpaceX accomplishments, as impressive as they are, have already been accomplished in some degree by NASA, and more.

I'll be impressed by SpaceX when they can match what NASA did half a damn century ago...with less computational power than that of a first-gen iPhone!

Thanks for admitting that you do not recall your middle school history. Let me educate you. I hope this isn't too difficult to read.

I know all about it, and I also know when someone is lying which is what you’ve been doing, as we’ve already established.

Less computational power than a pocket calculator. It's impressive what NASA did with "primitive" technology. The Voyager probes are still going after almost 50 years. Top that Elon! I doubt a Tesla will run that long. 😆

Moon.

You lost.

You don't even know about the Apollo 11 landing.

That or you're pretending it didn't even exist.
