We're eagerly awaiting SpaceX's next launch of a Falcon 9 rocket, and CEO Elon Musk tweeted tonight that it "will aim to launch Sunday." This is also the company's first attempt since a rocket exploded shortly after takeoff in June, and another failed to land on an ocean barge in April. A static fire test that took place earlier today "looks good," so if all the data checks out then this could be SpaceX's time to take the reusable rocket crown back from Blue Origin with a ground landing (or at least launch eleven OG2 satellites).
If you do not care to read the articles that is your choice.
First you poo-pooed the Times article, and now the National Review article. One on the left, one on the right.
It is clear you are not open to documented facts, as each source is dismissed by you.
It’s interesting to watch people wedded to their preconceptions withstand both left and right leaning sources. It’s more interesting when they asked to be presented with these sources, are presented with them, and then discount them.
We will continue to disagree and the data will continue to be as it is.
You’re wrong again.
I did read the LaTimes article.
You still haven’t specified what any of the facts are.
You are the one who made the claim, so it’s up to you.
FRiend, you need to just let it go.
FRiend. You shouldn’t assume that you’ve got the sack to tell me what to do.
I just think you at risk of heart disease with all your vapors is all.
Thanks for your concern. Now butt out.
Great details - we might pop over to see the launch - thanks!
Brevard County, Florida LAUNCH ALERT ping.
Would you know if PLAYALINDA BEACH will be open for this launch. I have tried all numbers and unfortunately none answer. Also their hours are 6 to 6. Do they let you stay late for launches if they are open?
I’m in northern California, so I don’t have a clue about what viewing areas are open for the SpaceX Florida launch.
Keep an eye on the Nasaspaceflight.com website in the SpaceX Missions Section of their forum. People make announcements there based on local knowledge for viewing launches.
Have no idea. You could go and try and stay beyond the posted hours. Law enforcement is not very consistent there so you may have a chance.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 launch now has an instantaneous launch window time of 8:29pm (20:29) EST, that’s 5:2pm PST on Sunday, Dec 20th.
If it isn’t launched on Dec 20, the next opportunity is Tuesday, Dec 22, with a 15-minute launch window, from 7:18pm to 7:33pm (19:18 to 19:33) EST, or 4:18pm to 4:33pm PST.
You read the Time’s claim of 4.9 billion dollars in subsidies and the National Review article supporting the same assertion.
You dismissed first the LAT article, then dismissed the NR article.
There is no proof, no article, no source, that will satisfy you.
Interesting.
National Review: $5 billion is subsidies (dismissed because it is not up to Moonman standards)
Los Angeles Times: $5 billion in subsidies (dismissed because it is to up to Moonman standards)
The hits just keep on coming.
And then search “Elon Musk” in Opensecrets.org
Pages of donations, including to the DCCC, with the majority to liberals.
Moonman won’t admit it, but the rest of us can read what the facts are.
Interesting.
The hits just keep on coming.
...
All that proves is bad journalists copy each other. And then you copy them, without checking the accuracy.
Ha ha, ok.
