  1. Well, then go to Cape Caneveral when they is the next landing. There were meanwhile nearly 300 landings. Why is it unbelievable for some people?

  2.  @barisdemircan9668  There were meanwhile 280 landings. Why don't you just go there by yourself? It is so weird how people say "fake" to such a regular thing. And where would be the purpose in faking it?

  3. Why should they scam anybody, for what? The landings only have a business purpose: Reusing the rockets makes the launches cheaper. They meanhwile nearly have a monopoly for sending stuff into orbit. Their customers don't care if the rockets can land, they just want the best offer for bringing for example their satellite into orbit. And there were meanwhile 280 Falcon 9 landings! It is a regular thing, you can go to Cape Canevaral to watch it by yourself. Why do people even consider that it is fake? It doesn't make any sense.

  4. I just don't get it, why are there so many people whom think this is fake? Do you also think that certain airplane flights are fake? It is just a small rocket that shoots up a a capsule, which finally falls down and comes down with a parachute. Why should they even fake it? What is so special about it that you think it didn't happen? You don't believe in rockets? It is a private company with 1500 employee that offers these flights. This was the 18th flight since 2015.

  5. Who says that there is no light? A black background doesn't mean that there is no light. It means that there is nothing that reflects the light.

  6. It is a rocket that shoots up a capsule which finally falls down and lands with a parachute. A carnival ride for rich people, you can book that. It was the 18th flight since 2015. They also had cargo from school projects (for experiments in weightlessness) on it on flights before. Why should this be even fake? You don't believe that rockets work?

  8. The moon has only 1/6 of earth's gravity. And the absence of atmosphere actually makes it even easier.

  9. What is your definition for "outer space"?

  10. No, it is NOT in Low Earth Orbit. Because it is not in orbit at all. It just goes straight up and falls down. Orbit has nothing to do with the altitude/distance to earth. It means that you fly around the earth so fast, that you don't fall down. So that you "fall around the earth forever".

  12. How about actually looking things up and double check things? Siri is dumb or you did not listen good enough. It is not 100 miles but 100 kilometers (so about 62 miles). And the capsule reaches a maximum of 107 km before it falls down(again, look it up instead of just take what they say here). So according to that they were in space . I recommend wikipedia, so both for informations about this flight, but also for the question "Beginning of space". However, The 100 km (62 miles) definition is arbitrary. The atmosphere becomes thinner fluently, so you cannot say where it ends. Already at 36 km air pressure is only 1% compared to sea level. The US definition for the beginning of space is 80 km (50 miles). But on the other hand there is still some atmosphere at the altitude of the ISS (250 miles /400 km), that it loses more than 50 meters of altitude every day because the drag slows it down. I recommend to avoid the term "space", it doesn't mean anything. They reached 107 km /66 miles. That's it. Who cares how you call it? If the rocket would have stop the engine earlier so that they would have reached only 56 miles (like you said) the experience would still be the same, just a bit shorter. Oh, and according to the US definiton it even still would be "space". But again, who cares?

  13. But the vomit comet doesn't give you a view down to earth from 100 km.

  14. Why should they fake it? And what G-tests and fitness tests for this simple carnival ride?

  16. Concering the air pollution: It is just water.

  17. There were meanwhile over 300 landings. You can go to Cape Canaveral and see it with your own eyes. It is so weird that people say "Fake!" to such a common, regular thing. "It would take a lot more fuel to slow down a falling rocket then it took to send up the one with the payload." What? That makes no sense. Well, you can try it by yourself and play Kerbal Space Program. Or show the calculation. But of course you are smarter concerning than the thousands of aerospace engineers...
