Fortunately I don't take anything seriously, least of all myself, so was able to have a good old laugh at it.

The issues are yous dude And that, I'm sure you believe in father Christmas you like to throw your weight around don't you. Your on this forum but you don't even have a Z If you are so adverse to my posts, why do you constantly follow me around the forum dude . Throw my weight around? Nope, but I’ll call a bullsh*tter out when I see one. Sorry if that offends you. It does tend to mean that I do pick up when someone consistently spouts nonsense, which I guess means it does look like I’m following you around. I guess if you want to stop me criticising you, then stop being quite so aggressive with your posts about the tinfoil hat stuff. If I don’t believe in what you say then so what? You don’t see me getting abusive towards people who follow a certain faith or not. That’s basically what you’re doing, and it won’t win you any favours here. What car I own is irrelevant. If you want to be picky though, I’d suggest my knowledge of Zeus is significantly higher than yours given I’ve been working with them for well over a decade now. And sorry Col. Genuinely sorry.

Ebized Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Come on guys, cut the personal stuff and just keep on topic - opinions are opinions and we all get them wrong and right at times. Just saying.......... before the inevitable and noting it is obviously now stopping others contributing in case their opinions get torn to shreds or ridiculed by those perceived as know-it-alls. 1

And you work in the Pentagon I suppose? Nice of them to let you post on this forum while youre at work, I have to say 1

Won't stop me posting on here !!! I'm entitled to an opinion and as soon a Ekona tells me what my opinion is I will let you know
valy Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 so where does Elon's Tesla heading to now cause apparently has overshoot Mars belt....? or was this not important cause it has made it into space and got some pics back that Elon can tweet 1
coldel Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Not unusual for Tesla to miss a target though is it
Jay84 Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 What IS the next phase of space x? Is it to get something to mars under power rather than momentum? If the roadster has been left in orbit what if another satellite hits it... we saw what hastened 6 when Hammond crashed his electric car.

I think the really interesting stuff is going to happen when SpaceX start doing exactly the same missions as NASA is doing, but cheaper, quicker and more efficiently. At that point there's going to be a lot of twitchy bums in seats at government level...
coldel Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Space X is part funded by NASA, they are contracted to them to fulfill particular space development requirements whilst NASA work on other projects, from what I read - makes sense really to get private firms to focus on particular streams of development after all NASA only has finite staff, premises, equipment.
Stutopia Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 So this guy has stuck a car in space, with a mannequin on board, using 21st century tech? Wow! Wake me up when one of his novelty “spaceships” have sent back twitpics showing people overtaking Voyager 1, in all its 1970s glory
Jay84 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Speaking of voyager, there is a Meme of the ST:Voyager crew standing around the roadster with the caption: Remember the time the voyager crew found a car floating in space
StevoD Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I wonder how many tonnes of carbon and other emissions that rocked put into the atmosphere. In fact I wonder if there is a study on how much he has put into the atmosphere with space X and Tesla production in the last 10 years compared with other producers
Jay84 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 I wondered that too, but I think the majority of what gas is given out is hyrdrogen, usually after a rocket launch the H bonds with the O2 in the upper atmosphere and it starts raining. But there is still the sourcing of materials to build, transport, the extraction of the fuel in the 1st place etc etc. I'm not sure if I made it up or read it somewhere, but I think Tesla cars are supposed to offset the rocket.

StevoD Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 When you post in a thread and realised you missed a @*!# storm last page And realise your reputation will look like potentially poking the fire.
Jay84 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 What you posted is fine and not poking the fire, just questing for info.
coldel Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 As exciting as making a bigger rocket is this is amazing https://www.nasa.gov/feature/new-horizons-captures-record-breaking-images-in-the-kuiper-belt Over three and a half billion miles away there is something man made getting on with looking further into space, it blows the mind. I know there were a lot of knockers when taking photos of the 'blue dot' a couple of years ago with Saturn in the foreground it really is astonishing that something can still pass information back to our planet from so far away. 2
Jetpilot Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 So i am curious about things that are 1000's of light years away, do we know if they are still even there if we are viewing them from effectively so long ago?
