UFO Falcon Heavy..?

a reply to: Perfectenemy

Uhm, you thought the car and astronut were really in space??

And that black object IS a bit UFO-ee ... but cool that they did it, rah rah science! Yes indeedy ...

but that black speck is ...black.

some interesting lights in the space man camera thread, flashing ufos? ... space x dosnt seem as occupied toh ide these things as in the nasa feeds.

a reply to: Soloprotocol

I seen that too.
Wonder what it was. Most likely part of the rocket going back down to earth.

How long till someone says it's a bug. Lol

As little weight as your suggestion has garnered, I agree with you.

Agreed. Aren't oofos, ummm... luminous? Even if not, Mission control would know about and would be very fearful of any thing close enough to be seen naked eye and double not, relative velocities of objects in orbit are too fast to discern.

Like trying to see a bullet flying by, only a bullet five times faster than a bullet...

I am assuming the majority of the people cheering actually work for SpaceX, and perhaps are the ones (of the compilation of 6000 or so) that have their names engraved on the object that the Tesla Roadster was perched on before being released into space. It's a pretty significant event, but I will admit that I felt the same way as you; the hooting and hollering, albeit the contagious enthusiasm, got a bit annoying after a while.

How cool !!

Did anyone else notice the "Don't Panic" on the vehicles display screen at 34:09 ? That could be a "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" reference..

I was wondering how those rubber tires could look so pristine encapsulated within the icy grip of outer space, or thereabouts...

The Sun would have an effect on temps as well. Does the moon not go from + 400c to like - 400c between day and night.?

it made history.. it was a flawless launch and at least 2 of the 3
boosters re-landed safely, to be reused. That's never happened
before.

Ohhh he did then, that's what I get for not following along close enough. I asked in another thread if he still had this in mind.

Well then, one step closer!

The thing that passes through the foreground, in front of the rocket cone? That should give you an idea of scale. Probably ice from the cryo lines.

Was gonna say, if the aliens are that tiny, we've got nothing to worry about.

Their entire civilisation would be eaten by a small dog.

Nothing will happen to the tires. As they cool down, they'll become hard (glass transition temperature -70°C). Over time the will outgass and decay, as will other plastic components due to solar radiation.

Absolute zero is −273°C, can't get colder than that. The temperatures on the moon vary between 100 and -150°C.

But you have to consider that there is not thermal conduction or convection in space (vacuum), only radiation. So the low temperatures are not as bad as they sound. You'll cool much slower than in cold air or water for example.

I am a believer in UFO's but I also know there is a lot of space debris after a launch so I'm going with space debris based on how it's all wobbly while falling to Earth.

troll much. screenshot but no link. I would pay you ruples to see source

I hear that space is full of single dudes now.

I bet that dummy wishes he had someone to ride with him up there.

Any bets this car is in the next Star Trek movie. Somehow!!!

a reply to: Perfectenemy

not this again!
let me say a last time:
ITS THE FREAKING FAIRING! THEY DID AN REPLAY!

a reply to: sunkuong

Source is the OP, i just watched it back and yes the screenshot can be taken at that moment in time, i think you owe someone some ruples.

It is being stated as a replay being overlayed sure looks odd though

I watched the launch myself (live) and really enjoyed it, I am a believer that there is a car in space now...2018 and MR Musk will be forever eternal, so money can buy you anything.

Ice chunks.

We've successfully found ice chunks.

That's all I saw floating around out there that wasn't attached to the ship.

I hope they don't find the Locknar
