Just like with the SAR COV-2 virus. Killing viruses is easy. Killing viruses without killing the patient is the problem.

Any rocket can be launched in any weather these days.

Whether that launch will be successful and whether the crew survives the launch is the the problem

To stay in this off topic discussion

And you're right.

I guess my scientist would say it's impossible.
They would probably tell me it's more efficient to develop an engine who works in space.
Which would mean, using a standard rocket to send astronaut from earth to space(docking with a space dock) and then use this spacecraft with this space engine to travel in space.

Quite an historic moment in space exploration.

Congratulations!

I am still stunned by the sight of those rocket poles standing on the ship. Was stunned when i saw it the first time, am still stunned by it today.

Starlink gaining momentum,

Quote:

SpaceX told the FCC in a late July presentation that the company’s Starlink unit is “now building 120 satellites per month” and has “invested over $70 million developing and producing thousands of consumer user terminals per month.”

Looks like a shaky lift off and a little fire, still very impressive!

Here is a summary of the recently found Starlink speed tests

Was talking to a neighbour yesterday about internet and tv access via 'unusual' means and he was full of the above but I was a little sceptical because he usually full of verbal crap.
