Imagine the positive impact that much money and resource could have on the world if only there were the will to direct it to do good. Notwithstanding the massive environmental impact these rockets have. To anyone who thinks they are doing good by moving to electric cars, recycling or having solar panels installed. Guess what... today's launch on its own has erased any beneficial steps we've taken towards moving to a greener world. --- Come join us at the Sudoku + Other Pencil Puzzles Community Board. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1572-sudoku-plus-other-pencil-puzzles <cite>SHRlKE posted [p:972963636] in SpaceX - T...

They hadn't launched that particular configuration before. They'll take the data from this one and hopefully do better on the next one. --- https://i.imgtc.com/d9Fc4Qq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/BKHTxYq.gif https://i.imgtc.com/vYYIuDx.jpg <cite>CableZL posted [p:972964733] in SpaceX - T...
