That was a parody of the original Star Trek Starfleet uniforms where the men got to wear trousers and the women mini-skirts. The DOOP space fleet is a resolutely non-sexist organization, make no mistake!

It's great, isn't it?

Somebody forgot to programme the sat-nav.

Spoiler tags for size. Erring on the side of caution for mobile users.

You realise Falcon Heavy is a demonstrator for the technology of the NEXT rocket, the BFR - which is more powerful than Saturn V

The forum upgrade in, IIRC, June 2015, meant that there is no longer such a thing as an oversized picture .... except in edit mode.

That's sacked Stig isn't it?

Pffft.. 10 years too late and her hair isn't even a sci-fi colour.

Is he intending to land BFR, or is he still talking about parking it up there in orbit and transporting people to it? He says a lot... I lose track

Poking around this morning for a quote he made about cost-per-lb targets, but damned if I can find it. It was super low though.

Have to wonder what Ariane are thinking too, never mind NASA. The 5 is a bit of a dead end I think, tech-wise?

Gimmick wasn't the right word, I know. All this stuff is beyond cool though.

Ahhhh, fair dos. I looked at the picture and figured mobile users would not appreciate the extra width. Said the bishop.

I think so, yes.

BFR has one first stage, but I think two different upperstage options, or maybe three, 1.) a passenger carrier, 2.) a big-ass fuel tanker, 3.) A shuttle like deliverer to orbit.

I thought Spock was super intelligent! It was a 2008 roadster! They stopped making em in 2012
