Tech Walked out on the street in Anaheim just in time to see stage 1 separate Friday evening.

Moments later, my eleven year old grandson joined me moments later and asked; What the frig is that?

Took a few hours to answer that one.

Fake news. Was aliens.

 

Elon Musk is trying to turn more frogs gay.

 

Perhaps you did not actually intend to respond to my post.
Some sort is inside wink for your people.

Well, it was a spectacular sight in any case. No warning at all.

 

cool stuff, Bud. I remember how exciting it was as a kid to follow our NASA program. The nation would park in front of TVs and tune in radios to follow along. Sad to thing that we now have to hitch hike rides to hang out on an antiquated Russian tin can...at least the free market can pick up the slack a bit now.

 

Yeah, this was a free market shot I think. We no doubt will be better off this way.

 

Ha!

I just happened to see an add where Spacex is looking for a Naval Architect.
Dang! Boat moorage is so high in LA, I put in an application for the job. Can't wait to see what they want built. Heading back to LA tomorrow.

 

Dang! Never realize I was a three pointer with Veterans protection, until I filled out the Spacex application. I wonder if that gives me enough privilege to overcome ancient?

 

Tell them you’re willing to provide your own Depends. Gotta be worth a try......

 

No way

 

I can't be the only one that sees a huge white penis in the sky...

 

MarAzul, could you please correct spelling of Anaheim? It's making me crazy(er).

 

Nope! Only God or Slypokerdog can do it.

 

After reading about their projects some more, I think they are looking to recover their stage one sections of the rocket engines used on lift off. It looks as if they use multiple units of the same Falcon Rocket to lift what ever. Like the Falcon heavy is the Falcon9 x 3.

I speculate from that, they need a sea going log truck to pick this stuff up down range. Meh!

But I will check it out, IF they get past the ancient!!!! I did not tell them just how old I am but... it has to be pretty clear with the experiance list from here back to the middle of the last century.

 

Actually, I would rather come design a modern day Destroyer for the US Navy. When I look at the inventory they have today,
they don't have one. They use the name but it is in name only. Displacement and draft would prohibit executing many Destroyer missions.
