    Well maybe it is boring about who is on P1 and P2, but below that we seeing a lot more action what makes F1 in this time, even with the dominant Mercedes, still worthy to watch and not boring. However a lot likely going to change next season, so lets hope next year the domination role would...

    News 2016 FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX

    So maybe a bit off-topic, but was there really still an other option remaining for Ferrari to replace Kimi by any other good driver? Looking forward to this weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if we seeing another high nervy battle between Lewis and Nico. Likely Red bull would be stronger then...

    News Azerbaijan Grand Prix Baku, 17-19 June.

    This race would be known as the most exciting of this season... I just hope in 2017 this track would being a lot more interesting. I think we did seen just like 10 overtakes over the whole race. Definitely not the most interesting race to talk about besides about Perez. But well, the Austrian...

    Launch News SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.2 with SES-9 March 4 2016

    Bit off-topic maybe but how would SpaceX handle with the sub-cooled LOX issues during more hotter days on the Cape (or even at Vandenberg) without insulation? Because as so far we seen now, sub-cooled LOX looks to be more tricky then normal LOX, let alone the complexity of it.

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    Nope, more after Max-Q but not right before MECO. The smoke/vent of it looks happening on the upper parts of the Falcon-9 but of it is the second stage or the first stage (or maybe even the Dragon self) isn't very clear to see. In my eyes, it looked more like a structure failure what did leaking...

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    Its too early to say what gone wrong, but did something gone wrong a bit around Max-Q? I seen the rocket exhausts comes around the first stage what maybe can lead to a structure weak spot because the heat, what can lead after a short time to the structure fails what cause of course an explosion...

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    Decent goes well but again it goes too fast so that it lands hard what cause the rocket falls over and being destroyed, so I go for 2) Or I can have it wrong and it lands successful on the barge, or even don't going to land whatever for reason, we see how it goes and hope for the best :)

    Launch News (FAILURE) Proton-M/Briz-M launch with MexSat-1, May 16, 2015

    I see so much different sounds still saying otherwise. ILS clams nothing was wrong, but Russian sources says a problem happened with the third stage. Is it just bad journalism because almost exactly a year ago the third stage also failed, or (what is sadly more likely) is it again a failure of...

    Launch News (FAILURE) Proton-M/Briz-M launch with MexSat-1, May 16, 2015

    Good lift-off, but I be worried about the telemetry lose. Hopeful there is nothing wrong with the flight self :shifty: --- Oh no, not again.... --- So likely the third stage failed again. Almost creepy that happened almost exactly a year ago. Exactly the last thing ILS and the Proton self needs...

    Updates MESSENGER Mission News

    Maybe its some computer-counted data instead of based on real telemetry of Messenger, maybe Messenger survived and does one/two finally orbits until it crashing later.

    Launch News Ariane 5 Flight VA222 with Thor 7 and SICRAL-2, April 26, 2015

    I got all trust that this become again a successful launch of the Ariane 5. If I must be honest I got more believe in a successful launch by the Ariane 5 (or the Atlas-V or even the Soyuz rocket, not counting the Fregat) then a launch of the Falcon 9. Launch history, good labor and success/fail...

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    Yea, the buckled can be an effect of the camera self, but indeed on that second picture it looks like the first stage moved from left (first picture) to right and collapsed. But I really can't see details yet on those picture, especially the second. I hope SpaceX release a video or at least...

    Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F5 CRS SpX-2 through CRS SpX-12 Updates

    Only words what I do hear so far is likely a hard-landing destroyed the first stage. But of course, time would tell soon what happened exactly, and of the barge is okay or not. But lets not forget the main goal was to launch the Dragon to the ISS, about that, SpaceX done a good job.

    Discussion Falcon 9 Heavy Circumlunar flight

    You don't go spend billions of dollars, spend years of R&D, test flights and thousands of employers just for a simple stunt. The goal was to put a men on the Moon, sounds simple right? But it wasn't just to stunt against especially the soviets. Elon can promise to put people back on the moon...
