That is bananas! Will be interesting watching how much full scale testing has to go into super heavy with that many motors.

 

You left coasters have all the fun

You might have to click on the pic to see but the capsule is barely taller than the men standing next to it.

 

Crazy to think that the LES on Apollo/Saturn5 was more powerful than the Atlas

 

Just read, but haven’t been able to verify, the F9 launching today will have a ‘Diagonal Profile’ (like a sounding rocket). Could be a goof, but…

Bad Info.

 

@PzTank well I was unfamiliar with a "diagonal profile" and after a quick google I'm learning about "gravity turn" first. I'll never been an engineer but I enjoy at least learning OF some of the nitty-gritty details.

 

Yeah, me too!

 

Play some KSP if you want some instinctual understanding of orbital mechanics, heh.

 

Haha I watch enough of Scott Manly to know that Kerbal is WAAAAAAAAAAAY above my head!

NASA pointed the Hubble telescope at a spot in the sky with no visible stars and left it aimed at that spot for 4 months. After a that time the image they captured from that spot showed 10,000 galaxies. It's called the Hubble ultra deep field.
