They just launched a car into space perfectly with a $90,000,000 rocket. What a technical accomplishment. What a sight to see. Bob Dunahugh
Way off topic: Largest rocket to ever be launched.
- Thread starter Bob Dunahugh
- Start date
I watched it, it was surreal.
Elon is definitely Iron Man.
Did you see the booster landings? It was right out of a 50's Sci Fi movie, both boosters landed in Sync and perfectly.

Largest Rocket since the Saturn 5. Private company, not NASA. Reusable,
self recovering boosters. Lots of firsts there. Tesla to Mars, going to
need a loo ooong charging cord. Yes, it was impressive. Don't see any other
countries stepping up with the kind of investments in money, engineering,
"Yankee injunity ", etc.
Shoot, the USA walked on the moon so long ago, the contestants on TV
game shows don't even remember the names of the men that accomplished that
back in the 60's and 70's. About time we show the rest of the world what we
can do with the free enterprise system again. Looks like they forgot,
again. Some of our home folks did too. Not my generation, though. I
remember "One small step for (a) man, One giant leap for Mankind". Kinda
like settling the Western parts of the US. Mountain men came first, then
trappers, and fur traders, then, merchants, farmers. Finally government
followed after all the risk takers had made the land safe enough for
politicians. Then came infrastructure, industry, Freeways, and cars and
motor homes to drive on them. Hell, government can't even drive trains on
the right tracks without running into something. Rant off.

It was spectacular, to be sure. But it's not the largest rocket ever to be
launched--the Saturn V was larger in liftoff thrust by a factor of 2.4,
with a much higher payload lift capability, and it's half a again taller,
too. The shuttle had more liftoff thrust, too, but it's not quite as tall,
nor can it move as big a payload to low Earth orbit.
But the Falcon Heavy was certainly a heck of a lot cheaper.

I should of paid better attention and if I had known it was going to launch today, . I could if skipped a seminar this morning and drove out there to

Rich,
Here's my entry for the spectacular launch contest:

Why you ask - because I was there, on the roof of the Hamilton Standard Facility about 2 miles from the launch pad.
First comes the fire ball, then the roar, then the earth and building shakes, when the Saturn 5 gains a bit of altitude the sky
lights up like it was day for miles around, finally the crackle of the engines seems to go on and on.
Yep, it sure WAS expensive; however, I'd say it was a bit more significant than launching a car into orbit.

Hurling a Tesla car into space because he can? Doesn't that pretty much negate any reduction in pollution emission's that all electric cars have
saved to this point in time?

It's a first flight, they always have dummy payloads. It also demonstrated
going through the Van Allen belts, and doing a second burn on the motor,
which is of interest to the Air Force. So, some showmanship in service of
testing and demonstrating a number of capacities.

I thought Saturn V was about 7.5m pounds of thrust vs about 5 for the
Falcon Heavy. And a bigger payload to orbit, but not by a whole bunch.

If you read the actual news releases, SpaceX said it was the largest launch SINCE the Saturn 5B for the later Apollo missions.

Oh Yes, NOTHING will ever beat any Apollo launch. 60's technology monster rocket with people on board.
The full color movies of the launches are my favorite anything, I so wish I could have seen one.
And 2 miles away? Damn, what a thrill that would be.
Whats great about SpaceX is we are back where we left off and then some. The Falcon Heavy is the largest rocket currently launching, the the BFR ( Big Falcon Rocket ) will be bigger and have more payload than the Saturn V.
But the Falcon rockets are kinda like driving a New Lexus vs a 1969 Corvette 427. The Lexus is faster, smoother, more comfortable but has no personality, but the Vette is awesome.

The most humorist part of the car launch into space
and the driver behind the wheel had to be the display on
the dash screen "DON'T PANIC!". Would have been better if
they had identified the driver as Arthur Dent and had
Trillion riding shotgun.
Oh well, we still have Eric Idle's 'Entire Universe' to keep us smiling.
