January 4, 2021 at 4:08 PMIf I fly to New York, the schedule says the plane WILL land at 3:18 PM.
The rocket industry has not the same level of confidence… B1060 will ATTEMPT to land on JRTI after its fourth flight.

January 7, 2021 at 9:04 AMThere always has to be a troll. LOL
SpaceX has a very good success rate on retrieving these 1st stages, Something NASA nor anyone that I have heard of, had ever attempted.
What is your problem, Jim? This is new technology that SpaceX pioneered and, so far, has done well in its development. They are not putting people at risk in this as the ship is a drone. They are proving and advancing technology an THEIR money and research. Yes, they get money from the government to help and pay for sending cargo / people into orbit. But, the R&D is done by them not the 100% tax dollars that congress, that gives to companies that promote their reelection (conflict of interest). The federal money to SpaceX and ULA is based on results being produced. The American way.

January 7, 2021 at 3:18 PMAlmost like the airline industry is nearly a century old and operates under strict schedules and services hundreds of flights per day. Private spaceflight, let alone precise landing and recovery of boosters is a very new concept that SpaceX is developing from scratch. The fact they are able to pull off such a thing reliably is incredible in its own right, but of course there has to be a moron like you obsessing over pedantics. I guess the world can’t exist without poeple like you so just keep complaining and people like Musk will keep innovating.

September 15, 2021 at 3:24 PMactually it just shows how far nasa and the gov have gone to keep it from happening at all and the fact that nasa and the gov could have already done this same thing twenty-30-40 years ago but have chosen not to. almost as if “they” has puposefully kept us ouuta space for some reason or other bc it took a billionaire who felt like it to go to space and learn as he went with his own hard knocks how to make money doing it.

October 8, 2021 at 1:20 PMGive Space-X all the credit it deserves. They do a great job! Its truly an indication of progress that Space Flight, especially launch and low Earth Orbit has become a commercial commodity.
But please understand that Space -X has built its business on the shoulders of decades of hard work paid for by US taxpayers. The detailed specifications for reliability and components and testing and qualification have evolved over many many years. Space X purchases components to NASA and Military Specifications. They design based on successful heritage. And Space-X adheres to Guidelines for thermal analysis and component derating and ESD mitigation for reliability that were written by NASA and the European Space Agency and the Aerospace Corporation. The public private partnership is alive and well in Space. Its a model for how things can be done.
