Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Isn't it carrying the top secret space plane? 

That it is, or what will be left of it! 🙁

I'm still amazed that a private company is able to produce and launch these "rockets", and do it for a lot less money than in the past.  This used to be the sole domain of the government or huge aerospace companies like Boeing and Lockheed.

Looking forward to the day this thing launches a human crew.

Also looking forward to the first Artemis program crewed launch scheduled for next year using the SLS and Orion.

This is not Starship. Falcon Heavy and Falcon 9 seem to be extremely reliable rockets these days.

SpaceX are the planets main launch provider. Can't remember the exact percentage, something like 80%.

This is Falcon Heavy. It's Falcon 9 that launches crew Dragon to the ISS. As of 2018 there are no longer plans to transport people on Falcon heavy.

Me too. A wasteful system of course, use it and trash it, and its not without its issues, and there is talk of it not being viable. 

Blue Origin New Glen is scheduled for first launch in 2024 don't forget.

210?  Didn't know they had rockets back then!

Yes. There was an advanced civilisation back then. Related to Silurians. Ocean dwellers I believe. Bred with humans. Gave then mega advanced tech. Everyone knows that.
