ˈhakəspeɪs? Do most people not pronounce the 'r'?

Ah, I posted the British version. Here's their pronunciation guide:

It looks like in jolly old England it is closer to:
hackah sp"ia"ce.

(the first vowel sound in space being like how the English say "day",
which is diphthong )


In american english:

Pronunciation: /ˈhakərˌspās/

(the first vowel sound in space being like how the Americans say "day".
(not a diphthong)
