How about we build a tower to reach up there? That’s been done before? Oh. Well how did turn out?

Everything went great until it hit the wall of water, made like a very expensive motorboat in the sky and then disintegrated. What if we launch a sub? Sure okay, but it will have to be heavy due to the water pressure. Oh. Hmmmm.

Jared and Sian can take over manual control in an emergency. Not so much to steer the rocket but they can steer the capsule and the capsule can blast away from the rocket if needed.

I accept your challenge. I am going to call military intelligence and be directed to NASA’s videographers and have them make me a video completely refuting the shit they e been putting out for years. On it. You’re gonna be sorry.

You realize it didn't require NASA for me to verify the altitude, size and speed of the space station, right?

Re: SpaceX Launch of Inspiration4, the World's First Private Orbital Spaceflight!
Today will be the first attempt to launch the first fully private orbital spaceflight. Some are describing as the first all-civilian orbital spaceflight, but that's not really accurate. A number of spaceflights have involved an all-civilian crew (particularly if we don't count previous military experience since Chris Sembroski is a veteran himself), but this flight is unique as it is the first time a crewed vehicle has launched to orbit with a private, commercial crew trained by a private company, riding a privately owned vehicle. This achievement will be an order of magnitude more difficult than the sub-orbital hops of Virgin Galactic or Blue Origin. Those were short flights straight up and back down, this flight will attain orbital velocity and stay in space for days.

The target orbit altitude is 575 km, higher than ISS and higher than the current altitude of Hubble. From there, the crew will observe the earth through the largest single window ever launched into orbit, a large bubble shaped cupola which is replacing the Dragon capsule's docking adapter for this mission. They will stay in orbit for 3 days before splashing down off the coast of Florida. Jared Isaacman, who is commanding and paying for this mission, is also attempting to use it to raise $200 million in donations to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Launch time is 8:02 pm eastern, the webcast will go live starting in about 30 minutes:

When they were supposedly pulling 3g the guy inside was smiling and waving his arms around like it was nothing.

Of course no uncut footage from the rocket from launch to space.

It also just looks fake.

That was an absolutely amazing launch. Textbook jellyfish effect with directional thrusters from the first stage blowing through it like smoke rings. All lit up by the sun in a dark twilight sky.
