Great video. Takes a lot to still have a sense of humour after many failures that cost... well a fortune or two.

What an awesome space craft. Did everything it was designed to do right till the very end.

Sounded like it sent data back for longer than expected.

Glad we don't live in that system.

Updated mars plan by spacex, other than the flight part, it looks more reasonable. 9m instead of the original 12m makes a huge difference in both manufacturing and transporting.
Still think 2022 is unrealistic. But at least unlike other companies they are actually bending metal.

Please tell me i'm not the only one who thought the BFR (SpaceX next generation rocket system unveiled today) stood for: Big Flipping* Rocket

It does, but media friendly version is falcon. Although I see places like wired use the swear word.

very cool, em drive explanation. Can someone just launch one to space and get a definitive answer on if it truly works.

also spacex launched a recycled F9 late last night. Good to see another recycled core launch. Cant wait for Block V to launch which will make recycling fast andefficientt.

spacex launch in a few minutes.
they actually said in the live stream they have a ship out there for the fairing recovery efforts, which ive never heard them talk about in the stream before.
I doubt we will get video from it yet, but hopefully in upcoming launches, they seem to be moving to a more confident position on the fairings.
well this one came in a little toasty, wonder how much damage that is causing.

We are finally getting close to falcon heavy launch, good article with timeline till launch and what needs to be achieved before then.

Is this just to test it's payload capacity?
They don't want to put a proper payload on and there's a reasonable chance it'll blow up.
