Any one fancy going to space on a second hand rocket :)

[gangzoom]

Space X had launched and landed its first stage booster after several failed attempts. Opens up the possibility of much cheaper reusable rockets. NASA gave up on the idea decades ago, saying it couldn't be done.

 

If I'm still alive at 70-80 and got all my marbles, rather than leaving an inheritance behind, much rather waste all the £££ on a one trip up to the stars

 

Anyone else fancy a ride up to space in a reusable rocket??

Do you have a bit of a thing for Musk?

 

At least he is saving the planet with his ice vehicles

I don't think you have all your marbles now.

 

 

Personally I'd rather leave an inheritance for my children (providing I have some) than p**s away a load of money on a giant firework to the stars (no offence).

Is it electric?

will be nice a trip like that gangzoom....unfortunately things are moving very slow so who knows what will be able to do in our days...

I know a few people I would like to send on a one way trip in a second hand rocket but I would prefer to keep my feet on the ground and rocket round in my Z

Why not. Strap me in and mash the go button.

Second hand/reusable rocket are not words that should go together. There's no guarantee you'll even get to the stars. Maybe just over the north circular before you're barbecued with a great view of Hatfield.

Mate I wouldn't go in a new one. I remember the day the Challenger blew up in front of our eyes

Read the title, and 'Salvage 1' popped in my head.

That's a blast from the past!
