Now put bombs on one, and drop it from space on anyone you dislike. -Evil Elon Musk, the bond villian.
Dragonache
Good, you realised he didn’t actually make the rocket
bamcockseverywhere
Elon Musk is a really shitty manager though
Spoffles
How so?

I heard something about space x only hiring Americans, since rockets are technically weapon technology and only American citizens can apply.

Is this sped up? It seems to go from space to ocean so fast!
gumbootjack

I was interested in a he SpaceX program when I heard about it on NPR. Was disappointed to find out it's about travel and not space sex.

Supposedly zero G messes with your blood pressure and you can't get it up so space sex isn't a thing. Read somewhere, don't quote me.

theredacted
So.. lesbian zero g sex? I mean woman have way more propierties affected by zero g anyways.
theredacted
God damnit now all I can think about is trying to throw a dildo across the room into a girls vagina in zero g l
DoctorZebra
Yes zero G does that. BUT artificial gravity might work and so space sex can still be a thing, just not zero G sex
theredacted
In fairness I've never had to use one so Idk how well they actually work
theredacted
What about men with ED don't they get a pump, pump it up and than put a ring on it to keep the blood there. Could that work? Penis pump lol
FurToaster
why do i feel like the above comment was made by somebody's mom......

Dont let the flat earth people see this one

FAKE NEWS!!

Awfully quick descent...
HapilyDamaged
They see this stuff all the time. They think it's fake.
Spoffles
*don't - unfortunately flat earth people just claim these videos are CGI. They can't be argued with, they've always got something to say.
BirdDoctor
They mist be using a fisheye lens /s
GlowstickJedi
They got nothing to say. Just a bunch of gibberish. Motherfuckers

Why is this better than letting it fall to the ocean like before?
LargeHoman
If you can land it, you can re-use it.
DavidBrooker
Imagine every time you had to ship something across the country you threw away the truck after.

No risk of damage, instant recovery. Massively more efficient.

Life changing advances such as this are why I question the sanity of anyone wanting to cut NASA's budget. /s

I require a version of this gif starring Michael N. Fox...

I don't think the gimbal would survive this
iamstormtroll
Yeah it's pretty amazing. But does seem like this type of technological advancement is making itself redundant at the exact same time
largehadroncollisions
What do you mean?
iamstormtroll
At least it looks like he's having a good time though
Camelspotting
It's also fake.

BUT THE WORLD LOOKS ROUND IN THE GIF! FAKE NEWS!!!

I didn't burn my toast today.

I do not get why I don't really find anything SpaceX is doing all that interesting. I love tech and sci-fi. I just don't know.
earlgreyG
They're not really marketing anything or trying to make it seem sexier than it is. They're just doing it.
Wr200m
I dont need to be razzle-dazzled. I know what they are doing and its just not impressive to me.
millanbel
You have to see it as they are laying the foundations. Getting commercial interest in space travel will lead to more spectacular things.
millanbel
(commercial interest or another world/cold war - although it's sad to say, war is good for technological advancement...)
wackysofa
Yeah SpaceX is cool and all, but let the record show that one of the engineers has a small dick and lies to girls about the STD he has
TonyStarkWantsOne
delecti
Tony Stark would probably be BFFs with Elon Musk. Elon would totally sell Tony a rocket.
chaseNC
Pretty sure he has some dialogue with him or about him in Iron Man 2, the Monaco restaurant scene.
delecti
Wasn't that Larry Ellison? Or was Elon in there too?
chaseNC
No, it was definitely Elon. And the dialogue was between Elon and Pepper, not Elon and Tony.

The8obman
these videos never really give you the scale of that thing; that rocket is MASSIVE

Well yeah it's big, but not as big as your mom.

That's what she said
LittlePoseidon
Oh it's big. But there are bigger. Check out Delta IV heavy. Currently the largest rocket
batukhan
but it's never landed on a pinpoint
LittlePoseidon
Damn straight! We are doing some pretty cool stuff now days
dotheevolution1364
Do you know of the gif was in real time or sped up?
GrimReaper411
Sped up by a decent amount.
batukhan
well sped up. That's about 3-4 minutes in real time

Actually, this gif is from a 10-month old video https://www.facebook.com/SpaceX/videos/10157486010400131/ (1/2)

Yesterday's landing has not been released yet, and the online transmission only got part of the descending and after landing (2/2)
ChuckKarma
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfNO571C7Ko It's one of their anticlimactic landings where vid feed on barge goes out 5s only for touchdown.

like the one we got today.. COME ON!
