@xFirstAidx while I wait for you references, I'll just point out that: "The Falcon 9’s first stage will target a landing on SpaceX’s drone ship “Just Read the Instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean nearly 400 miles (630 kilometers) northeast of Cape Canaveral." https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/06/03/timeline-for-falcon-9-launch-with-starlink-satellites/ "As a general rule, helicopters usually fly around 2.5 to 5 hours before they have to stop and refuel. This translates to a distance of roughly 250 miles ... Many helicopters with no reserve are able to fly at 5000 feet for nearly 600 miles at a time." https://www.aircraftcompare.com/blog/how-far-can-helicopters-fly/ Adding on to the cost, what is the added risk to life? Looking at this tweet though: https://twitter.com/spacex/status/718628506230370308 It seems it was a chase plane they used, not helicopter. Chase plane was also used for the splash down of the Crew Dragon capsule recently iirc.

@xFirstAidx speaking of all this, cool footage of the faring capture from this week's launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTH3mq7SsK4 And again uninterrupted footage of the landing: https://youtu.be/jTMJK7wb0rM?t=1414

@M.Y.B.A-p4d do you know how big starship is? What the "faring" volume is?
1
was that a reference to something specific? :)

the only thing keeping any space company alive is government handouts.
1
@SylviaRustyFae other companies get people killed all the time, do you care?
1
Alex Mercer so?
1
@crystalball020 not necessarily. Many times it can be advantageous to appear as if you care if there is a desire from others that you do care.

@Rahul don't confuse bathe and shower. People rarely bathe, but shower very often.
1
you're messing me up with that "RGV-music" :D.

if you compare the quantity of something between a country of 1 billion people to one with 10 million, you have already lost.
1
@bd8594 lol, of course technology is about quantity regarding the comparison you make. Don't be an idiot. Who is mocking China's space program?
1
@bd8594 dude, you even admitted to it yourself with your "... even the combined EU is not a space powerhouse." comment. Now, can the straight A student answer the apparently really difficult question "Who is mocking China's space program"?

BVZ I get a feeling that this talk about 9 year olds and 19 year olds is a reference to pewdiepie :P.

@Vinay Nair you have fallen victim to fake news mate. Don't believe everything you read. https://www.nasa.gov/offices/odeo/workforce-data/

it was healthy competition because the end result was always going to be the same thing, they continue to develop Boca Chica based on the winning team's design. As I understand it, Cocoa did win over Boca Chica.
1
was going to say the same, so I'll just comment here instead :).

it doesn't matter how any times you guys repeat that, it is still not true.
1
anyone who wants to watch those events :P.
1
hehe yea, and it is quite pathetic. Just look at how many times the "NASA 34percent (less or more) scientist is Indian" lie is repeated here :P.
1
@yunidhkumar5571 I am not jealous over people who building their identity based on a lie, specifically the "NASA 34percent (less or more) scientist is Indian" lie. I mean, you do not believe that one, right?
1
@oracle4127 but we are not talking about Indian Americans here, we are talking about Indians. I am sure your brain is big enough to understand the difference.
1
@oracle4127 American Indians refers to Native Americans. No need to face palm yourself when you display your ignorance, we see it anyway ;).
1
does it matter if people think it is a con? The good thing with people being vocal about the conspiracy's they believe we know who we can't trust.
1
@fromfareast3070 do you honestly believe they would tell the truth?
1
@fromfareast3070 are you saying that there is no evidence for them not being 100% honest? There is no presumption of guilt, don't try to play the straw man game with me.
