So True Alan! If you read the Bio book I mentioned - its ALL discussed in there. Elon's big plans of making reusable rocket engines - and the HELL he went thru to make it work. That's why the book is such an Incredible READ! Also, in the book - it mentioned how Elon actually met "Tony" in the

I am guessing that the main booster didn't hit the mark and that is why we never see it. But going to strike a point, ship bed, at sea was asking a lot I thought. On Thu, Feb 8, 2018 at 8:44 AM, Alan Bourke wrote: > Never mind the lift-off, I've watched the boosters

Never mind the lift-off, I've watched the boosters coming back in at MACH 4 or 5 to land perfectly vertically about 100 times and I *still* don't believe what I'm seeing. If nothing else this is a chance for humanity to marvel at what we can achieve and a reminder that we don't have to be

it was surprising to hear Bowie in the space. I think it's the best improvment made by Mr Musk : allowing sound waves travelling through the 'vacuum' ;-) The Foxil ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance:

I have a similar one with the actor in upper frame and the car as the actor in the lower one, on my office door. I had to explain it to two people this morning. they just looked at it and had the puzzled look on their faces. On Wed, Feb 7, 2018 at 1:00 PM, Ed Leafe wrote: >
