Scrubbed for 8/25/2025 due to weather. Awaiting a new launch date and time.

Might as well not waste the thread.

Manned space flight is a waste of time and resources. Change my mind.

Our long term survival depends on some of us getting off this rock. Short term thinkers may not care.

I think we will get there much faster the sooner we develop and perfect the technology...robotics, automation, and AI. We should already be sending and testing that technology to the Moon and Mars. Human habitability is very expensive, and to the extent that it undercuts those hardware developments, it is counterproductive to the long term goal.

Sounds like a plan. Soon these ships will be in moon orbit, seting up a nuclear power station on the surface.

Using only unmanned spacecraft will never get us off this rock in numbers to last and sustain elsewhere.

It wasn’t that long ago that aircraft couldn’t take off or land at night or in bad weather some day there will be all weather launches and landings.
You won’t miss that business meeting on Luna station or Mars Marriott...

We'll have to establish a colony before Islam eventually ends up taking over the world.

I’d say that was a pretty successful flight / test!

I happened to watch here:

Prolly deserves it’s own thread.
