After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

Space x has now sold two tickets for a moon sling shot.

"We are excited to announce that SpaceX has been approached to fly two private citizens on a trip around the moon late next year"

Next year? yeah right, :roflmao:
They never even got out of Earth's orbit yet, Not to mention of the unsolved radiation problem found past low orbit.
this would be less of a publicity stunt when they successfully launch any unmanned moon mission first.

Yet, i love it.

SpaceX to blast sat into orbit with used rocket
Make-or-break launch this month for Elon's upstart
9 Mar 2017 at 21:02, Iain Thomson

March is going to be a crunch month for SpaceX: it hopes to, for the first time ever, launch a commercial satellite into orbit using a previously used rocket.

One of the Falcon 9 boosters Elon Musk's upstart has successfully blasted off and landed has been extensively refurbished for the mission. SpaceX's president Gwynne Shotwell confirmed to the Satellite 2017 conference on Wednesday that a reused Falcon 9 will loft a communications bird from satellite operator SES some time in the next three weeks.

Crucially, that Falcon 9 has to return back to Earth in one piece so it can be reused again and again for other payloads.

Its like that joke about 2 drunks walking down a railroad track and one drunk says "This sure is a long stairway" and the other drunk says "Yeah but its the low handrails that get to me!"

Except its in 4th dimension Munchys spaceships work. Its defying the antigravity.

I've by lots of smoking and meditation is down to pressure.

like pressure from a water faucet... forces water to defy gravity.

so in the Munchy spaceships mentioned they must have a "pressure vacuumn generator" to eliminate any force resulting in going from 0 to 50 million hours per sec instantaneously.
Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.

2012 TC4 will fly by Earth on Oct. 12 at a distance of about 27,000 miles (43,500 kilometers), or about one-eighth the distance to the moon. Previous observations suggested the space rock might come to within 4,200 miles (6,800 kilometers), according to a statement from NASA.[Enormous Asteroid 'Florence' Will Safely Fly by Earth Sept. 1]
This animation depicts the Earth flyby of asteroid 2012 TC4 on Oct. 12, 2017. While scientists cannot yet predict exactly how close the space rock will approach, they are sure it won’t get closer than 4,200 miles (6,800 kilometers) from Earth's surface.
:loony:

:woohoo:

hope they are right, i mean the calculations "borders" are 27000 and 4200 ... do the math for yourselves ... :facepalm:

assuming the best possible comeout/end - yes - thats what we are waiting for :rollitiup:


it was an honor for me standing in your rows which became mine, so called our rows !

every end is a new beginning - so dont worry, as part of my emergency kit includes also some seeds/beans for a post apocalyptic radiation scenario

after all : thats why we are here - thats why we were here - thats why we will be here
