🚀 👨‍🚀 Space X - Mission to Mars

I would still have to talk to some clueless cunt in a call centre to sort out my data roaming :lou_angry:

Yeah, your roaming charges would be a bit high…

Not as slow as mine here on Earth. I had a download speed of 0.07 Mbps and an upload speed of 0.7 Mbps last night!!!

They could take a team of Polish plumbers…job done.

Have you not watched The Martian? If he can grow potatoes using human excrement then water shouldn’t be a problem.

Musk says travel to Mars will be like “Battlestar Galactica,” cost around $100,000

Thing is , I believe him. He delivers on his visions. This isn’t a whack job with an idea pulled out of the air - they have been working towards this since 2002

He is a whack job but a whack job with serious wedge.

I believe!

I will never look at a King Edward in the same way again!

For those who are extremely geeky I’m sure you will join me in a squeal of self indulgent joy at the fact that there will be 42 engines and he wants to call the first ship 'heart of gold’

This pleases me :lou_smiley:

Why they spend all this money is beyond me.

Cheaper alternatives.

In which case, if you can get a faster upload / download speed on Mars I nominate you as the first Sotonian on Mars…good luck and all that

Rocket launch in a bit.

An Aussie mate is working for Electron Rocket Lab in Auckland https://www.rocketlabusa.com/electron/

He’s flying out to Chatham Island on Thursday to help set up a launch.

Hmm. Would like to see the footage of stage one landing. Cut out right before, and then we’re treated to a fully landed rocket.

Looked a bit dodge. Not sure if they’ve worked that part out.
