Starting to watch this SpaceX saga real close. Pretty interesting. My Sister lives in Harlingen Tx which is close to it. She has watched both SN8 and SN9 from her house. I would like to visit the next time SN 10 tries a flight. They visit the Boca Chica beach quite often and say the rocket site is pretty cool.

And it has made a lot of jobs for people, who needed them.

My sister and niece spent the entire day at South Padre Island waiting for the rocket blast. After the first countdown was aborted she almost left but decided to stick it out. She said the sight was fantastic and the landing perfect. I guess the island sits 5 miles from the rocket site. They were almost ready to leave when it blew up. Said the sound was very loud and blast was spectacular. Wished I could have watched it with them. I believe you Argent when you say Texas has everything.

Both NASA and the ESA told Musk that design was not practical after they saw the blueprints. It's extremly heavy and under powered.

   From what I have gathered there will be plenty more engines added to the final product. He almost had the landing yesterday, Im sure in the future it will be perfected.

It did set down ok, but perhaps it broke something again. Oh well back to the drawing board.

Well, Rome wasn't built in a day either. They will get it right----if they don't run out of money. Musk can't take his away from the citizens like the Roman government did.

I kinda think with all Musk has going for him he won't have problems perfecting his starship. I'm sure his income is adequate also.

He's still working on the Starlink project. It's a good program but using it will be very expensive to subscriber's.

      That is the problem Sir. If you live somewhere off the grid and want internet be prepared to pay for it. But if you are on welfare that's a different tune and i'm sure a fix is coming.
