Elon Musk is THE man

[KarlM]

Wow amazing!

 

[RobM]

Lol I wonder if they were told not to ask him what 'BFR' stands for.

Yeah, like the “Big Friendly Giant” weapon in Doom...

Bloody shame about the current trajectory and the missed engine landing point.

 

[BREWSTERS]

IMO, it's fake.

IMO, it's fake.

The whole thing or just some of it ?

The few hundred thousand who watched the launch might disagree I suspect .

 

[RobM]

I assume he was mocking the people who don't believe things against the mountain of evidence to the contrary.

Pretty much the equivalent of chucking a horse and cart into the sea a few hundred years ago.

My brother is a none believer, thinks because he didn't see it himself, it might not be real. Also thinks the same about 9/11, man on the moon, flat earth and that we live in a simulation etc...basically everyone is in on the conspiracy and we live in some kind of Truman Show!

 

[RobM]

It's 'cool' to not be taken in by the big government hush-ups like the rest of you sheep

The funny thing about most people who believe in conspiracies is that they think everything is one.

If my brother is the definition of 'cool', then I'd rather believe everything I see on TV

Definitely CGI

That attitude is adopted by a lot of Bitcoin investors though isn't it.... most recently when banks banned credit card payments for Bitcoin, all part of a global banking conspiracy planned at the Bilderberg meetings to kill crypto and maintain control.

There is actually already a conspiracy theory that Elon Musk HIMSELF is a CGI creation, being acted out by a Japanese man.

I will admit I'm pretty agnostic about things like that, but it's often because the conspiracies seem more feasible and realistic than the official reports

If you rearrange the letters of ELON MUSK, take some out and put a few extras in you get SATOSHI NAKAMOTO

Anyone else think thats a bit too coincidental ????

One of those is actually possible (the simulation one), or at least the logic behind the idea seems sound.

Thing is, you’ll literally never know because part of the simulation will be “not knowing you’re in a simulation”.

A Tesla, made largely of aluminium and plastic...just floating about in the thermosphere. Makes sense.

Well, strictly not true, if you take a boat out, ride the storm, almost die, you'll eventually you'll hit the edge of the studio, fact, I saw it on tv once

My first reaction after the 'thats frickin amazing' was to think he was being a selfish schoolboy bunging a car up instead of using the opportunity to launch some science related project. I looked into it though at it seems that no one will put payload on an untested system as the payload is normally worth a fortune. On most test launches they use iron/steel as dead weight ,so the car makes more sense in terms of it could have been anything.

Certainly makes better press.
