What did y'all think about the falcon heavy launch?
| Speechless.
| A beautiful dance.
| Business as usual. I see space launch TFRs on Skyvector more often than I don't.
| Looking forward to when we have an actual colony on mars.
| Most awesome thing of 2018's beginning.
| It was perfect.
| The fact how elon sent his sports car up there with the radio playing space oddity on repeat is pure bliss
| In fact,Elon is a fool, because who will buy a car with such a mileage?
| NASA and Roskosmos are dead now
| >>140082 don't wanna beat a dead horse in face of Roskosmos, but why NASA is dead? They have an enormous space programme, and rockets are a small part of it.

It's just a meme.
Though it's also the fact that the government doesn't give them much of a budget and there's a lot of misinformation being pushed by politicians of both sides that to do so is a waste of money.
Ignoring the fact that our Defense budget is so obnoxiously huge that the next largest spender on Defense is 400 billion lower than us: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures

The budget cut sucks, I agree. But despite that they are still doing their job of exploring and researching. Roskosmos, compared to NASA, is a pure mess. It had 18.2% revenue in 2017. And they also spent something like 158545$ for a flight to the launch site and back.
So in my opinion, NASA is doing rather good.
| Well, it was a surprise for me, because i thought that Musk is mostly saying lies and stealing money from federal budget. Now i see that he can really make... something

Oh I agree, I was just giving a reason as to why some people think NASA is dead- its because of misinformation and not having as large a budget as they deserve.
I wasn't aware that the Roskosmos was having issues. o.o

Where did you hear that he was stealing money?
